Ionic crystals can form when metallic atoms bond with nonmetallic atoms. Which of the following is an example of an ionic crysta
1 answer:
NaOH is an example of an ionic crystal.
Option a
<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>Sodium Hydroxide is a "white solid ionic compound" consisting of sodium cations Na+ and hydroxide anions . If we look at the crystal structure of NaOH, we can see that it has the combinations of ionic and covalent bonds. The bond that is shared between Oxygen ( O ) and Hydrogen ( H ) is the covalent bond.
The Sodium ( Na ) is bonded with an "ionic bond to the hydroxide part of the compound". NaOH is an ionic solid because it is formed by the combinations of metal and non-metal. When the crystal of NaOH is dissolved in water it dissociates into Na+ ions (which is ionic in nature) and ions which bonds ionically to the other compounds.

Answer: a) pH of a 0.1 M vinegar solution is 2.9
b) It is an acid as pH is less than 7
Explanation:
pH or pOH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.
pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.
Acids have pH ranging from 1 to 6.9, bases have pH ranging from 7.1 to 14 and neutral solutions have pH equal to 7.
As vinegar is a weak acid, its dissociation is represented as;
cM 0 0
So dissociation constant will be:
Give c= 0.1 M
Also
Thus pH of a 0.1 M vinegar solution is 2.9
As pH is less than 7, it is an acid.
