Why do we use a double arrow in the dissociation equation for a weak acid answer?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Zepler [3.9K]3 years ago
4 0
Answer is: because weak acids do not dissociate completely.

The strength of an Arrhenius acid determines percentage of ionization of acid and the number of H⁺ ions formed. <span>
Strong acids completely ionize in water and give large amount ofhydrogen ions (H</span>⁺), so we use only one arrow, because reaction goes in one direction and there no molecules of acid in solution.

For example hydrochloric acid: HCl(aq) → H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq).

<span> Weak acid partially ionize in water and give only a few hydrogen ions (H</span>⁺), in the solution there molecules of acid and ions.

For example cyanide acid: HCN(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + CN⁻(aq).

What volume of silver metal will weigh exactly 2500.0g. The density of the silver is 10.5 g/cm3
pochemuha
Density = mass/volume
From this equation we can also say:
Volume = mass/density
V = 2500.0g/10.5g/cm3
V = 238 cm3

The compound IF5 contains Question 16 options: polar covalent bonds with partial negative charges on the F atoms. ionic bonds. p
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The molecule IF5 possesses five I-F polar bonds. However, the presence of polar bonds does not automatically imply that the molecule will be polar.

The geometry of the molecule is very important in determining the polarity of a compound. Since IF5 has a lone pair of electrons, the molecule is bent and as such there is a permanent dipole moment created in the molecule thereby making IF5 polar in nature.

Garfield (weighing 24 lbs) took a flight from the earth to the moon (where the gravity is 1/6 the gravity here on earth) on the
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

Reason: Gravitational pull of the Moon

Explanation:

Weight of Garfield is 24 lbs on the Earth. He took a flight from the Earth to the Moon where the gravity is 1/6 of the gravity on the Earth.

But when reaches the Moon he found he weighed only 6 lbs. It is due to the gravitational pull of the Moon.

Mass of an object reamins the same at every location while its weight changes due to the change in acceleration due to gravity. It is equal (on Moon) to 1/6 the of acceleration due to gravity on the earth.
