Answer: A) hydrogen bonding, B) dipole-dipole forces, C) London dispersion forces and D) London dispersion forces.

Explanation: Methanol is a polar covalent molecule means it has dipole-dipole forces of attraction. Since, hydrogen is bonded to more electron negative oxygen atom, this molecule has hydrogen bonding. So, strongest attractive forces for this molecule are hydrogen bonding.

CO is a polar covalent molecule and so it has dipole-dipole forces of attraction.

$CF_4$ has four polar covalent bonds but the over all molecule is nonpolar as the dipole moment of one C-F bond is canceled by its opposite C-F bond as the molecule is tetrahedral. Being nonpolar, the molecule has london dispersion forces only.

Ethane is also a nonpolar molecule and so it has london dispersion forces.

HNO3 is a Bronsted-Lowry acid. What will this substance form when it donates a proton?

Andreas93 [3]

The HNO3 is considered to be a Bronsted - Lowry acid, when this substance 'HNO3', will donate a proton, then it will form another substance. It will form two substances when the proton is donated in the water molecule. The two substances that will be formed is a nitrate iron and a hydronium ion.

A galvanic cell consists of a Cu(s)|Cu2+(aq) half-cell and a Cd(s)|Cd2+(aq) half-cell connected by a salt bridge. Oxidation occu

Kryger [21]

Answer:

$Cd(s)|Cd^{2+}(aq) || Cu^{2+}(aq)|Cu(s)$

Explanation:

A galvanic cell is composed of two electrodes immersed in a suitable electrolyte and connected via a salt bridge. One of the electrodes serves as a cathode where reduction or gain of electrons takes place. The other half cell functions as an anode where oxidation or loss of electrons occurs.

The representation is given by writing the anode on left hand side followed by its ion with its molar concentration. It is followed by a salt bridge. Then the cathodic ion with its molar concentration is written and then the cathode.

As it is given that cadmium acts as anode, it must be on the left hand side and copper must be on right hand side.

$Cd(s)|Cd^{2+}(aq) || Cu^{2+}(aq)|Cu(s)$

A buffer is composed of nh3 and nh4cl. How would this buffer solution control the ph of a solution when a small amount of a stro

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

According to Le-chatelier principle, equilibrium will shift towards left to minimize concentration of $OH^{-}$ and keep same equilibrium constant

Explanation:

In this buffer following equilibrium exists -

$NH_{3}(aq.)+H_{2}O(l)\rightleftharpoons NH_{4}^{+}(aq.)+OH^{-}(aq.)$

So, $OH^{-}$ is involved in the above equilibrium.

When a strong base is added to this buffer, then concentration of $OH^{-}$ increases. Hence, according to Le-chatelier principle, above equilibrium will shift towards left to minimize concentration of $OH^{-}$ and keep same equilibrium constant.

Therefore excess amount of $OH^{-}$ combines with $NH_{4}^{+}$ to produce ammonia and water. So, effect of addition of strong base on pH of buffer gets minimized.
