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).

How many molecules of oxygen are needed to make 3.5 oxygens of water?​
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

57.6g

Explanation:

So, if in one mole of water, 16 g of oxygen atom is present. Then, in 3.6 moles of water, the mass of oxygen present will be 3.6×16=57.6g. Therefore, the amount of oxygen present in 3.6 g water is option (B)- 57.6 g.

How many Ne atoms are contained in 32.0 g of the element?
Svetlanka [38]
Mass atomic of Ne=20.18 u
Therefore:
molar mass=20.18 g/1 mol

1 mole=6.022*10²³ particles (atoms or molecules)

Then: 6.022*10²³ atoms are contained in 20.18g

Now, We can solve this problem by the three rule.

6.022*10²³ atoms-------------------20.18 g
x------------------------------------------32 g

x=(6.022*10²³ atoms * 32 g)/20.18 g=9.55*10²³ atoms.

Answer: 9.55*10²³ Ne atoms are contained in 32 g of the element.
