Chemistry

They are more attracted by the oxygen atom than by the hydrogen atom.

Explanation:

In the polar bond of water which is made up of hydrogen and oxygen atoms, the shared electrons are more attracted by the oxygen atom than by the hydrogen atom.  

The interatomic bond in water is a polar covalent bond.  

In this bond type, two species shares their valence electrons.  

The bond usually occurs between non-metals with an electronegativity difference that is small.

Oxygen is more electronegative compared to hydrogen.

  • This implies that oxygen pulls the electron more closely to itself since it has a greater affinity.
  • This leaves a partial negative charge on oxygen and a positive charge on hydrogen.
  • The molecule is said to be polar covalent.

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

pKa = 3.675

Explanation:

  • pKa = - Log Ka

∴ <em>C</em> X-281 = 0.079 M

∴ pH = 2.40

let X-281 a weak acid ( HA ):

∴ HA ↔ H+ + A-

⇒ Ka = [H+] * [A-] / [HA]

mass balance:

⇒<em> C</em> HA = 0.079 M = [HA] + [A-]

⇒ [HA] = 0.079 - [A-]

charge balance:

⇒ [H+] = [A-] + [OH-]... [OH-] is negligible; it comes from to water

⇒ [H+] = [A-]

∴ pH = - log [H+] = 2.40

⇒ [H+] = 3.981 E-3 M

replacing in Ka:

⇒ Ka = [H+]² / ( 0.079 - [H+] )

⇒ Ka = ( 3.981 E-3 )² / ( 0.079 - 3.981 E-3 )

⇒ Ka = 2.113 E-4

⇒ pKa = - Log ( 2.113 E-4 )

⇒ pKa = 3.675
