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

Chemistry

kompoz [17]1 year ago

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.

what happens when a gas obtained by heating Ammonium Chloride and slaked lime are passed through copper sulphate ?​
gogolik [260]

Answer:

Consequently, what happens when gas obtained by heating slaked lime and ammonium chloride is passed through copper sulphate solution? The HCl in the gas mixture will form hydrochloric and the H+ will react with some of the NH3(aq), forming NH4^+, and with some of the SO4^2-, forming HSO4^-.

Cubes are three-dimensional square shapes that have equal sides. What is the density of a cube that has a mass of 12.6 g and a m
AysviL [449]

Answer:

0.1828g/cm³

Explanation:

density= mass÷volume

m= 12.6g

v= 4.1×4.1×4.1 = 68.921cm³

•

density= 12.6÷68.921 = 0.1828g/cm³
