A student has two beakers (Beaker X and Beaker Y) of clear unknown liquids. The student knows that one liquid is a weak acid and one is a weak base. She knows that both liquids are equally concentrated as either an acid or a base. The student also knows that the pH of the liquid in Beaker X is 8. Therefore, the student concludes that Beaker X contains the acid and Beaker Y contains the base. 1) State whether or not the student’s conclusion is correct.
2)Explain your answer.
3)Describe the likely outcome in terms of acids, bases, and buffers, if the liquids in
Beaker X and Beaker Y were combined.

What best explains whether bromine (br) or neon (ne) is more likely to form a covalent bond? bromine forms covalent bonds because it has seven valence electrons, but neon has eight valence electrons and already fulfills the octet rule. bromine forms covalent bonds because it has many electron shells, but neon has only two electron shells and is tightly bound to its electrons. neon forms covalent bonds because it can share its valence electrons, but bromine has seven valence electrons and can gain only one more electron. neon forms covalent bonds because it has only two electron shells, but bromine has many electron shells and will lose electrons in order to fulfill the octet rule.
