Describe what happens on the molecular level when acetic acid dissolves in water.

Since most acetic acid molecules do not dissociate when a sample is dissolved in water, acetic acid and water molecule interactions are what determine how soluble a substance is. In its liquid state, water forms a network of hydrogen bonds among its molecules; when a material dissolves in water, this network of hydrogen bonds is broken.

<h3>What is acetic acid such a poor electrolyte?</h3>

Since acetic acid is a weak acid, only a small portion of the acetic acid molecules react to produce ethanoate and hydronium ions, shifting the equilibrium position substantially to the left. Aqueous acetic acid is a weak electrolyte as a result of the existence of these few ions.

<h3>Why does acetic acid have a low conductivity?</h3>

The majority ($> 99%) of the acetic acid molecules remain after dissolution, with only a very tiny portion deprotonating to form acetate anions. Only the latter are charged compounds, and as a result, only these increase the conductivity of the solution. They are few, and conductivity is low.

<h3>What makes acetic acid more potent than water?</h3>

The equilibrium shifts to the left and the concentration of hydrogen ions decreases when a strong acid is added to the buffer solution. A strong base is also added, which causes the equilibrium to move to the left and results in a smaller pH increase. Because of this, acetic acid is a better buffer than water.

Which of these oxides will likely form a colored solution when dissolved in water?
Alik [6]

Mn₂O

Explanation:

The oxide that will most likely form colored solutions is Mn₂O.

This is because most transition metals form colored compounds. Manganese is a transition metal belonging to the d-block on the periodic table.

  • Other examples of transition metals are scandium, titanium, iron, copper, cobalt, nickel, zinc
  • They belong to the d-block on the periodic table.
  • They have variable oxidation states.
  • Most of their solutions are always colored.

Which is the correct orbital diagram for carbon?
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

its 2p

Explanation:

In a neutral carbon atom, the 1s sublevel has one orbital with two electrons with opposite spins, represented by the arrows pointing in opposite directions. The 2s sublevel also has one orbital with two electrons, also with opposite spins. The 2p sublevel has three orbitals.
