Carbon has a tendency to form covalent bonds.
Answer:
D.
Explanation:
It would not be gain because it would say +6 instead of -2. Having a -2 charge means it wants to loose 2 electrons so it can form a full shell of 8 electrons. It wants to be inert (stable).

Answer:
5
Explanation:
To balance the hydrogen atoms, we check the number of hydrogen on the left side, this is equal to the 10 hydrogen atoms we have in the alkanol.
Now, on the right hand side, we can see we only have two hydrogen atoms in the water molecule. Now, to make equal the number of hydrogen atoms on both sides, we simply multiply the number of hydrogen there by 5 to make it 10 too
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
