Polaris the north star is very bright and it doesn’t move
The P-H bond is polar and the molecule is asymmetric.
Non-polar bonds cannot produce polar molecules and symmetric bonds result in even distribution of charge, so no net charge is observed.
Answer:
2.94
Explanation:
There is some info missing. I think this is the original question.
<em>A solution is prepared at 25 °C that is initially 0.38 M in chloroacetic acid (HCH₂ClCO₂), a weak acid with Ka= 1.3 x 10⁻³, and 0.44 M in sodium chloroacetate (NaCH₂CICO₂). Calculate the pH of the solution. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.</em>

We have a buffer system formed by a weak acid (HCH₂ClCO₂) and its conjugate base (CH₂CICO₂⁻ coming from NaCH₂CICO₂). We can calculate the pH using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.
pH = pKa + log [CH₂CICO₂⁻]/[HCH₂ClCO₂]
pH = -log 1.3 x 10⁻³ + log (0.44 M/0.38 M)
pH = 2.94
