Answer:
Higher numbers indicate bases- not acidic/less acidic
Explanation:
Four molecules have carbon as the central atom and hydrogen atoms around it. The shape that would give rise to a polar molecule is a bent shape. <span>The bent shape will not be symmetrical which will result to being polar. Hope this answers the question.</span>
There are two ways to solve this problem. We can use the ICE method which is tedious and lengthy or use the Henderson–Hasselbalch equation. This equation relates pH and the concentration of the ions in the solution. It is expressed as
pH = pKa + log [A]/[HA]
where pKa = - log [Ka]
[A] is the concentration of the conjugate base
[HA] is the concentration of the acid
Given:
Ka = 1.8x10^-5
NaOH added = 0.015 mol
HC2H3O2 = 0.1 mol
NaC2H3O2 = 0.1 mol
Solution:
pKa = - log ( 1.8x10^-5) = 4.74
[A] = 0.015 mol + 0.100 mol = .115 moles
[HA] = .1 - 0.015 = 0.085 moles
pH = 4.74 + log (.115/0.085)
pH = 4.87
