Explain what would happen to the pH of a solution of aqueous hydrochloric acid if you add water.

Calculate the relative molecular mass of CaCO3. (relative atomic mass (Ar): C= 12, Ca= 40, O= 16)

What are the different factors that contribute to bonding?

Bromine has an atomic number of 35 but has two stable isotopes- bromine-79 and bromine-81. Given that 51% of bromine atoms are bromine-79 and 49% are bromine-81%, work out the relative atomic mass of bromine to the nearest whole number.
