Answer:

If a covalent bond is polar the electronegativity difference between the elements of the compound is between 0.4 and 1.7

Explanation:

The electronegativity measures the power of an atom to attract electrons; if the electronegativity difference between the elements of the compound is big (more than 1.7) the compound will be ionic, that means, an atom or a group of atoms will give electrons and another atom of group of atoms will receive them; if the electronegativity difference is small (less than 0.4), the electrons will be shared by the atoms in a equitative way, i. e. the electrons will spend similar amount of time in the orbitals of each atom; but if the electronegativity difference is between 0.4 and 1.7  a covalent polar bond will be formed, that means valence electrons will spend more time in the orbitals of the most electronegative element.

N a polar covalent bond<span>, the electrons shared by the atoms spend a greater amount of time, on the average, closer to the Oxygen nucleus than the Hydrogen nucleus. This is because of the geometry of the molecule and the great electronegativity difference between the Hydrogen atom and the Oxygen atom.</span>

(a) Given that Ka for acetic acid is 1.8 X 10^-5 and that for hypochlorous acid is 3.0 X 10^-8, which is the stronger acid? (b)
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

HOAc is stronger acid than HClO

ClO⁻ is stronger conjugate base than OAc⁻

Kb(OAc⁻) = 5.5 x 10⁻¹⁰

Kb(ClO⁻) = 3.3 x 10⁻⁷

Explanation:

Assume 0.10M HOAc => H⁺ + OAc⁻  with Ka = 1.8 x 10⁻⁵

=> [H⁺] = √Ka·[Acid] =√(1.8 x 10⁻⁵)(0.10) M = 1.3 x 10⁻³M H⁺

Assume 0.10M HClO => H⁺ + ClO⁻ with Ka = 3 x 10⁻⁸

=> [H⁺] = √(3 x 10⁻⁸)(0.10)M = 5.47 x 10⁻⁵M H⁺

HOAc delivers more H⁺ than HClO and is more acidic.

Kb = Kw/Ka, Kw = 1 x 10⁻¹⁴

Kb(OAc⁻) = 5.5 x 10⁻¹⁰

Kb(ClO⁻) = 3.3 x 10⁻⁷

Explain what happens to substances during a chemical change
Free_Kalibri [48]

In a chemical change, the atoms in the reactants rearrange themselves and bond together differently to form one or more new products with different characteristics than the reactants. When a new substance is formed, the change is called a chemical change.
