Answer:
Polar
Explanation:
Methanol is not electrostatic
It's not metallic as it has no metals in it
It's not ionic as coordinate bonding is made.
It's polar as a lone pair is present over OH-
<span>Acetylene is a pure substance so it is homogeneous.</span>
Answer:
The biodegradability of soap moleculea means the soap molecules are degradable in nature it doesn't causes water pollution as comparing as detergent.....
<h3>Answer:</h3>
Formic acid is the stronger acid.
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
The strength of an acid is determined by the power of it to dissociate and produce H⁺ ions. Greater the dissociation of an acid, the stronger that acid is. Also, extent of dissociation for particular acid is given by its dissociation constant i.e. Ka.
The greater the Ka value, the stronger an acid is and vice versa.
Calculating Ka value of Pivalic acid:
As,
pKa = -log [Ka]
So,
Ka = 10^-pKa
Putting value of pKa,
Ka = 10⁻⁵
Ka = 1.0 × 10⁻⁵
Calculating Ka value of Formic acid:
As,
pKa = -log [Ka]
So,
Ka = 10^-pKa
Putting value of pKa,
Ka = 10⁻³'⁸
Ka = 1.58 × 10⁻⁴
<h3>Conclusion:</h3>
As the Ka value of Formic acid is greater than Pivalic acid therefore, it is stronger acid than Pivalic acid.
<h2>TIP:</h2>
When comparing strength of acids, the acid with the lowest pKa value is considered the strongest acid and <em>vice versa</em>.
