eaving the proton to dissociate. The larger electronegative oxygen atom strips the electron from one of its hydrogen atoms, leaving the proton to dissociate. The smaller electropositive oxygen atom strips the electron from one of its hydrogen atoms, leaving the proton to dissociate. The larger electropositive oxygen atom strips the electron from one of its hydrogen atoms, leaving the proton to dissociate. Water does not ionize well.

Answer:

The larger electronegative oxygen atom strips the electron from one of its hydrogen atoms, leaving the proton to dissociate.

Explanation:

Water is a molecule composed of hydrogen and oxygen atoms that forms a covalent bond i.e. share electrons. However, due to the fact that the oxygen atom in a water molecule is more electronegative than the hydrogen molecule, it tends to draw electrons towards itself, leaving the hydrogen atom more positive. This causes the POLARITY of water.

To ionize means for the atoms of a compound to dissociate into electrically charged ions (positive and negative) in an aqeous solution. Water is able to ionize because the more electronegative oxygen atom draws the electron from one of its hydrogen atoms, leaving the proton (H+) to dissociate.

A solution was made by adding water to 0.250 g of H2Z until the volume totaled 25.00 mL. Subsequent titration required 40.50 mL
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

123 g/mol

Explanation:

Let's consider the neutralization reaction.

H₂Z(aq) + 2 NaOH(aq) → Na₂Z(aq) + 2 H₂O(ℓ)

The moles of NaOH that reacted are:

40.50 \times 10^{-3} L \times \frac{0.100molNaOH}{1L} =4.05\times 10^{-3} molNaOH

The molar ratio of H₂Z to NaOH is 1:2. The moles of H₂Z that reacted are:

4.05\times 10^{-3} molNaOH \times \frac{1molH_{2}Z}{2molNaOH} =2.03\times 10^{-3} molH_{2}Z

The molar mass of H₂Z is:

\frac{0.250gH_{2}Z}{2.03\times 10^{-3} molH_{2}Z} =123g/mol
