How do we determine the central atom in a chemical bond? How information is need to determine the shape that results in the bond

ed atoms of the molecule? ​
Chemistry
1 answer:
EastWind [94]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

- the central atom is usually the atom with the lowest subscript in the molecular formula and the atom that can form the most bonds. If all of the atoms usually form the same number of bonds, the least electronegative atom is usually the central atom.

- molecular shape (the shape that a single molecule has) is important in determining how the molecule interacts and reacts with other molecules. Molecular shape also influences the boiling point and melting point of molecules. If all molecules were linear then life as we know it would not exist.

During the titration of a weak acid and a strong base, you would expect the ph at the endpoint of titration to be ____.
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer is: b. more than 7.

The endpoint is the point at which the indicator changes colour in a colourimetric titration and that is point when titration must stop.

For example, basic salt sodium acetate CH₃COONa is formed from the reaction between weak acid (in this example acetic acid CH₃COOH) and strong base (in this example sodium acetate NaOH).

Balanced chemical reaction of acetic acid and sodium hydroxide:

CH₃COOH(aq) + NaOH(aq) → CH₃COONa(aq) + H₂O(l).

Neutralization is is reaction in which an acid (in this example vinegar or acetic acid CH₃COOH) and a base react quantitatively with each other.

The acetic acid/acetate buffer system is a common buffer used in the laboratory. Write the equilibrium equation for the acetic a
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

CH₃CO₂H + H₂O ⇄ CH₃CO₂⁻ + H₃O⁺

Explanation:

A buffer is defined as the mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base or vice versa.

For the acetic acid buffer, CH₃CO₂H is the weak acid and its conjugate base is the ion without H⁺, that is CH₃CO₂⁻. The equilibrium equation in water knowing this is:

<h3>CH₃CO₂H + H₂O ⇄ CH₃CO₂⁻ + H₃O⁺</h3>

<em>In the equilibrium, the acid is dissociated in the conjugate base and the hydronium ion.</em>
