At the beginning of this lesson, there was a question about two acids. Vinegar, which contains acetic acid, is used in foods and

has few safety concerns. Hydrochloric acid is used in chemistry labs and requires the use of safety goggles and gloves. Why do the safety concerns for these two acids differ?

Acetic acid is a weak acid and an organic compound and as such is not corrosive and therefore is acceptable to be used in food in the form of vinegar whereas hydrochloric acid is a strong mineral acid (partially derived from rock salt) and it is corrosive and from the author's experience it can be used in dilute form ie 10% by volume to react with limestone as a diagnostic test for that rock type (the limestone fizzes upon reaction with the dilute HCL.

Answer:

Acetic acid is a weak acid, and hydrochloric acid is a strong acid.

As a weak acid, acetic acid does not dissociate much. As a strong acid, hydrochloric acid dissociates completely.

The stronger the acid, the more hydrogen ions will be in a solution at a given concentration.

Because they donate hydrogen ions, acids can react with other materials that accept hydrogen ions. A stronger acid will be more reactive than a weak acid at the same concentration.

(a)kcl ionic (b)p4 nonpolar covalent (c)bf3 nonpolar covalent (d)so2 nonpolar covalent (e)br2 nonpolar covalent (f)no2 nonpolar
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Because K and Cl have such a large disparity in their electronegativities, KCl is a bipolar ionic molecule.

<h3>What exactly are polar and nonpolar bonds?</h3>

Polar covalent bonds develop when the distribution of electrons among atoms is uneven, whereas nonpolar side chains develop when the distribution of electrons is more even. The reason for the unequal sharing of electrons is because the atoms receiving them have various electronegativities.

<h3>How are polar bonds created?</h3>

Whenever a single pair of electrons is not shared equally, a polar molecule bond is created. This is caused by the electronegativity difference between the two elements. An unit of h as well as an unit of bromine share a pair of electrons, but not evenly.

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

It has been approximately 6 hours after death.

Explanation:

This is because between 2-6 hours after death, the body starts becoming stiff from top to bottom, then spreading to the limbs. Since there is only rigor in his upper body, that would mean that with normal temperature and body conditions, it would be 4 or 5 hours after death. But since he is obese and in cold temperature, there is slower progression of rigor, leading to the maximum time in the first rigor mortis phase, 6 hours.

Of the elements calcium, Ca, beryllium, Be, barium, Ba, and strontium, Sr, which has the largest atomic radius? Explain your ans
Nezavi [6.7K]
The largest atomic radius has Ba,because they are all metals of 2nd group,but as you know when you go down upright in the periodic table the metallic features getting stronger but also orbital layers increasing,and you can say more layers larger atomic radius.Hope I helped,sorry for English

What volume of 12.0 M sulfuric acid is needed to prepare 300.0 mL of 2.50 M solution?
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

n=c*V

=2.50*300x10^-3

=.75 moles of hcl

v=n/c

=.75/12

=.0625 L

convert to mL

=62.5mL
