Which bond pair does not have a polar covalent bond? P – Cl O – H S – Cl H – Cl Cl – Cl

So,

A polar covalent bond is a bond between two atoms that has a low electronegativity difference (usually 0.1 < x < 1.9, which is kind of the border between nonpolar covalent and ionic, respectively).  The most prominent example of a polar covalent bond is water, where the oxygen atom has an electronegativity of 3.5 and the hydrogen atoms have electronegativities of 2.1.  The electronegativity difference is 3.5-2.1 = 1.4, which is still in covalent territory, but still a polar bond.  This is why lowercase delta's appear beside oxygen atoms in drawings.

Examining, the four options, we immediately see that option D is Cl-Cl.  A bond between two of the same atoms inevitably implies an electronegativity difference of zero, which means a nonpolar covalent bond: electrons are equally shared.  Anywhere you see two identical atoms bonding (except for metals), you will have a nonpolar covalent bond.

The correct answer is D.

Hoochie [10]
When atoms bond together to form molecules, they share or give electrons. If the electrons are shared equally by the atoms, then there is no resulting charge and the molecule is nonpolar.

If a buffer solution is 0.220 M in a weak acid ( Ka=7.4×10−5) and 0.540 M in its conjugate base, what is the pH?
valkas [14]

Answer: the pH of the solution is 4.52

Explanation:

Consider the weak acid as Ha, it is dissociated as expressed below

HA     H⁺  +  A⁻

the Henderson -Haselbach equation can be expressed as;

pH = pKa + log( [A⁻] / [HA])

the weak acid is dissociated into H⁺ and A⁻ ions in the solution.

now the conjugate base of the weak acid HA is

HA(aq) {weak acid}     H⁺(aq)  +  A⁻(aq) {conjugate base}

so now we calculate the value of Kₐ as well as pH value by substituting the values of the concentrations into the equation;

pKₐ = -logKₐ

pKₐ = -log ( 7.4×10⁻⁵ )

pKₐ = 4.13

now thw pH is

pH = pKₐ  + log( [A⁻] / [HA])

pH = 4.13 + log( [0.540] / [0.220])

pH = 4.13 + 0.3899

pH = 4.5199 = 4.52

Therefore the pH of the solution is 4.52

An initial mixture of nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas is reacted in a rigid container at a certain temperature by the reaction At
anygoal [31]

Answer: [N2]₀ = 10M and [H2]₀ = 11M

Explanation: To calculate the initial concentration, you would have to set up an ICE table, which is an organized way of tracking known quantities or the ones you want to find. ICE stands for:

I is initial amount;

C is change in concentration;

E is for equilibrium concentration;

For the mixture,

       N2                       3H2                2NH3

I      [N2]₀                     [H2]₀                  0

C     - x                          -3x                 +2x

E     [N2]₀ - x =8      [H2]₀ - 3x =5       2x =4

With the product, we can find "x":

2x=4

x=2M

With x=2, find the concentrations:

[N2]₀ - x = 8

[N2]₀ = 10M

[H2]₀ - 3x = 5

[H2]₀ = 11M

The initial concentrations of nitrogen gas [N2] is 10.0 M and of hydrogen gas [H2] is 11.0 M.

Mass box A = 10 grams; Mass box B = 5 grams; Mass box C—made of one A and one B How many boxes of B would be required to make 30
Iteru [2.4K]
Mass box C is 10+5. (So C is 15)

But if C was 30, how many times could you put B (5) into it?

30/5 = 6

You would need 6 boxes of B to make 30 grams of C.
