What is the identity of M in the hydrate M(H₂O)₆ⁿ⁺ that has the 0.10 M solution with the highest pH? A)Li⁺ B)Na⁺ C)Mg²⁺ D)Al³⁺

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In this hydrate, M represents the cation of the salt. The solution with the highest pH would be the one with the cation that behaves as the strongest base, which would be the cation that is the most likely to accept a proton (H+). Among the choices given, Na+ is the most likely to accept a proton, making it the cation with the highest pH solution. Therefore, the answer is B.
