A water molecule is composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom arranged in a bent shape. Since oxygen is significantly m

ore electronegative than hydrogen, oxygen atoms have a much stronger attraction to shared electrons than does hydrogen. This unequal sharing of electrons and bent shape results in water being called a _________________ .

Answer: A)  polar molecule  

Explanation: Polar molecules are molecules which contain atoms of different electronegativities.

Non polar molecules are molecules which contains atoms of same electronegativities.

Water is a polar covalent molecule formed by unequal sharing of electrons. Oxygen being more electronegative tend to keep the electron pair towards itself thus generating a partial negative charge. The hydrogen acquire a partial positive charge thus resulting in a polar molecule.

The bent shape is due to repulsion between lone pairs and bond pairs of electrons.

What is the volume of a 5.30g piece of aluminum? The density for aluminum is 2.70mL
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

1.96mL

Explanation:

Density = mass/volume, and rearranged to solve for volume, volume = mass/density.

So:

volume = 5.30g/2.70g/mL = 1.96mL (assuming your unit was g/mL for density)

What is the pH of a solution with a 3.8 × 10−4 M hydronium ion concentration?
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

3.4

Explanation:

The pH scale is used to express the acidity or basicity of a solution.

  • If the pH < 7, the solution is acid.
  • If the pH = 7, the solution is neutral.
  • If the pH > 7, the solution is basic.

Given the hydronium ion concentration [H₃O⁺] = 3.8 × 10⁻⁴ M, we can calculate the pH using the following expression.

pH = -log [H₃O⁺]

pH = -log 3.8 × 10⁻⁴

pH = 3.4

This solution is acid.

A solution is prepared by dissolving 0.23 mol of lactic acid and 0.27 mol of sodium lactate in water sufficient to yield 1.00 L
PtichkaEL [24]

Explanation:

The solution of the lactic acd and sodium lactate is referred to as a buffer solution.

A buffer solution is an aqueous solution consisting of a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base, or vice versa. In this case, the weak acid is the lactic acid and the conjugate base is the sodium lactate.

Buffer solutions are generally known to resist change in pH values.

When a strong base (in this case, NaOH) is added to the buffer, the lactic acid will give up its H+ in order to transform the base (OH-) into water (H2O) and the conjugate base, so we have:

HA + OH- → A- + H2O.

Since the added OH- is consumed by this reaction, the pH will change only slightly.

The NaOH reacts with the weak acid present in the buffer sollution.
