The equation that best represents the behavior of acetic acid in water is; CH3CO2H + H2O ⇄ CH3CO2− + H3O+.

Acetic acid, like all other acids dissociates in water. The equation for the dissociation of acetic acid in water is; CH3CO2H + H2O ⇄ CH3CO2− + H3O+.

During this dissociation, the acid proton in acetic acid is transferred to water to form the oxonium ion H3O+.

The presence of H3O+ in solution accounts for all the observed properties of acetic acid in solution.

Draw a line-bond structure for CBrN. Explicitly draw all H atoms. You do not have to include lone pairs in your answer. In cases

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Br - C ≡ N

Explanation:

To draw the Lewis line-bond structure we need to bear in mind the octet rule, which states that in order to gain stability each <em>atom tends to share electrons until it has 8 electrons in its valence shell</em>.

C has 4 e⁻ in its valence shell so it will form 4 covalent bonds.

Br has 7 e⁻ in its valence shell so it will form 1 covalent bond.

N has 5 e⁻ in its valence shell so it will form 3 covalent bonds.

The most stable structure that respects these premises is:

Br - C ≡ N

It does not have any H atom.

Sample A: 300 mL of 1M sodium chloride

yarga [219]

Answer:

sample B contains the larger density

Explanation:

Given;

volume of sample A, V = 300 mL = 0.3 L

Molarity of sample A, C = 1 M

volume of sample B, V = 145 mL = 0.145 L

Molarity of sample B, C = 1.5 M

molecular mass of sodium chloride, Nacl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5 g/mol

Molarity is given as;

$C = \frac{moles \ of \ solute, \ mol}{liters \ of \ solvent} \\\\Moles \ of \ solute \ for \ sample \ A = 1 \times 0.3 = 0.3 \ mol\\\\Moles \ of \ solute \ for \ sample \ B = 1.5 \times 0.145 = 0.2175 \ mol$

The reacting mass for sample A = 0.3mol x 58.5 g/mol = 17.55 g

The reacting mass for sample B = 0.2175 mol x 58.5 g/mol = 12.72 g

The density of sample A $= \frac{mass}{volume} = \frac{17.55}{0.3} = 58.5 \ g/L$

The density of sample B $= \frac{mass}{volume} = \frac{12.72}{0.145} = 87.72 \ g/L$

Therefore, sample B contains the larger density

Water is wet. true or false? Why?

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

True water is wet because when something is wet in this case it's water it has water on it at a molecular level. Water molecules are bonded on top of each other so it's wet.
