A piece of zinc oxide from oxygen

1) in saturated limewater, [h+ ]=3.98x10-13 m. a) find [oh]-/ b) what is the ph? / c) is the solution acidic, basic, or neutral? / 2) in butter, [h+ ]=6.0x10-7 m. a) find [oh]-/ b) what is the ph? / c) is the solution acidic, basic, or neutral? / 3) in peaches, [oh]=3.16x10-11 m a) find [h+ ]/ b) what is the ph? / c) is the solution acidic, basic, or neutral? / 4) during the course of the day, human saliva varies between being acidic and basic. if [oh]=3.16x10-8 m, a) find [h+ ]/ b) what is the ph? / c) is the solution acidic, basic, or neutral? /

Modern pennies are composed of zinc coated with copper. a student determines the mass of a penny to be 2.482 g and then makes several scratches in the copper coaling (to expose the underlying zinc). the student puts the scratched penny in hydrochloric acid, where the following reaction occurs between the zinc and the hcl (the copper remains undissolved): zn(s) + 2 hcl(aq) → h2(g) + zncl(aq)the student collects the hydrogen produced over water at 25 °c. the collected gas occupies a volume of 0.899 l at a total pressure of 79 j mmhg. calculate the percent zinc (by mass) in the penny. (assume that all the zn in the penny dissolves.)

I'm learning about the periodic tables and what each subject's configuration is. for example, hydrogen is 1s^1, but i don't understand how you get that. can someone me understand how to figure out how to figure this out? sorry if the question makes no sense, but it would really a lot if you could me understand! you so much if you can!
