CO2 = 4+6(2)
= 16
This means there is a total of 16 valance electrons.

1. Choose least electronegative atom in this case C and put it in the center

2. Put oxygen around it

Eg.

O-C-O

Remember one line equals two electrons.

Put electrons around each atom until full.
Hard to show without drawing. Hope that helps

(b) Which solution has a higher percent ionization of the acid, a 0.10M solution of HC2H3O2(aq) or a 0.010M solution of HC2H3O2(

boyakko [2]

Answer: The percent ionization is higher for 0.010 M solution of $HC_2H_3O_2$

Explanation:

$HC_2H_3O_2\rightarrow H^+C_2H_3O_2^-$

cM 0M 0M

$c-c\alpha$ $c\alpha$ $c\alpha$

So dissociation constant will be:

$K_a=\frac{(c\alpha)^{2}}{c-c\alpha}$

a) Given c= 0.10 M and $\alpha$ = ?

$K_a=1.8\times 10^{-5}$

Putting in the values we get:

$1.8\times 10^{-5}=\frac{(0.10\times \alpha)^2}{(0.10-0.10\times \alpha)}$

$(\alpha)=0.013$

$\%(\alpha)=0.013\times 100=1.3\%$

b) Given c= 0.010 M and $\alpha$ = ?

$K_a=1.8\times 10^{-5}$

Putting in the values we get:

$1.8\times 10^{-5}=\frac{(0.010\times \alpha)^2}{(0.010-0.010\times \alpha)}$

$(\alpha)=0.041$

$\%(\alpha)=0.041\times 100=4.1\%$

The percent ionization is higher for 0.010 M solution of $HC_2H_3O_2$

In your double replacement reaction, the more reactive metal "pushed" the other one out of its place. Without using the Internet

You are using the internet right now. The question told you not to. Lol

How does repeatability have an affect on scientific research?

sasho [114]

A. is the answer, because the more an experiment is repeated, it will become apparent if it yields the same results thus confirming or debunking the hypothesis.

What is a caustic substance?

Hunter-Best [27]

However, some common household products, including drain and toilet bowl cleaners and some dishwasher detergents, contain damaging caustic substances, such as sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid. Caustic substances (strong acids and alkalis), when swallowed, can burn the tongue, mouth, esophagus, and stomach.
