What kind of chemical bond is formed between nonmetals? Explain your answer.

REY [17]

Answer:

The ionic bond is formed due to an electrostatic force of attraction between two oppositely charged ions. This bond is usually formed between a metal and a nonmetal. Prior to the electrostatic attraction, there is a total transfer of valence electrons from one atom to the other atom.

State, in terms of the arrangement of atoms, the difference in hardness between diamond and graphite.

sleet_krkn [62]

The difference in hardness between diamond and graphite is that diamond has an ordered arrangement of atoms within its structure that makes it harder and stronger than graphite. This is due to the high pressure and high temperature that it went.

If acetic acid is the only acid that vinegar contains (ka=1.8×10−5), calculate the concentration of acetic acid in the vinegar.

kicyunya [14]

Ethanoic (Acetic) acid is a weak acid and do not dissociate fully. Therefore its equilibrium state has to be considered here.

$CH_{3}COOH \ \textless \ ---\ \textgreater \ H^{+} + CH_{3}COO^{-}$

In this case pH value of the solution is necessary to calculate the concentration but it's not given here so pH = 2.88 (looked it up)

pH = 2.88 ==> $[H^{+}]$ = $10^{-2.88}$ = 0.001 $moldm^{-3}$

The change in Concentration Δ $[CH_{3}COOH]$ = 0.001 $moldm^{-3}$

  CH3COOH H+ CH3COOH
Initial   $moldm^{-3}$      $x$ 0 0

Change $moldm^{-3}$ -0.001 +0.001 +0.001

Equilibrium $moldm^{-3}$ $x$ - 0.001 0.001 0.001


Since the $k_{a}$ value is so small, the assumption
$[CH_{3}COOH]_{initial} = [CH_{3}COOH]_{equilibrium}$ can be made.

$k_{a} = [tex]= 1.8*10^{-5} = \frac{[H^{+}][CH_{3}COO^{-}]}{[CH_{3}COOH]} = \frac{0.001^{2}}{x}$

Solve for x to get the required concentration.

note: 1.)Since you need the answer in 2SF don&t round up values in the middle of the calculation like I've done here.

2.) The ICE (Initial, Change, Equilibrium) table may come in handy if you are new to problems of this kind

Hope this helps!
