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 atomic or hybrid orbitals make up the bond between c2 and o in acetaldehyde, ch3cho?
SSSSS [86.1K]

Acetaldehyde is an organic compound (a compound containing C atoms) composed of a carbonyl group. On the other hand, a carbonyl group is a functional group containing C = O. The hybrid orbitals of a compound determines the number pi and s orbitals in the electronic configuration. For a single bond, there are two s orbitals. For double bonds, on the other hand, the number of s orbital bond is 1 while the number of pi bonds is 2. For triple bonds, there are three pi bonds present in the cloud.

Thus for a c = O bond, the atomic orbital configuration is sp3 containing 1 s orbital and 2 pi bonds.

Can someone please help with this I need the answers for the three boxes
denis23 [38]

Answer:

Type: M

Name: Dixytrogen Pentasulfide

Molar Mass:

X*2 = Number * 2 = Number

S*5=32.066*5=160.33

Number + 160.33 = Molar Mass (g/mol).

(The mass for Xytrogen is not present).

Explanation:

Assuming Xytrogen is a non-metal and bonding it with sulfur, another non-metal would make it covalent or molecular.  

The name is from the amount of Xs (being two [Di]) and the amount of Ss (being five [Penta]).

The molar mass is explained above.  You need to multiply the mass of each element by the number of elements present in the compound.  The mass for Xytrogen is not present (as it is a made up element) so I left instructions how to do it once given the mass instruction.

Hope this helps.

What is the molarity of an HCl solution if 37.0 mL is completely titrated by 56.0 mL of an NaOH solution whose concentration is
Nata [24]

Answer:

Option A. 0.378M

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Molarity of acid (Ma) =..?

Volume of acid (Va) = 37.0 mL

Volume of base (Vb) = 56.0 mL

Molarity of base (Mb) = 0.250 M

Next, we shall write the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

HCl + NaOH —> NaCl + H2O

From the balanced equation above,

The mole ratio of the acid (nA) = 1

The mole ratio of the base (nB) = 1

Finally, we can determine the molarity of the acid as shown below :

MaVa/MbVb = nA/nB

Ma x 37 / 0.25 x 56 = 1

Cross multiply

Ma x 37 = 0.25 x 56

Divide both side by 37

Ma = 0.25 x 56 /37

Ma = 0.378M

Therefore, the molarity of the acid, HCl is 0.378M
