Answer:

Hydrogen ions are spontaneously generated in pure water by the dissociation (ionization) of a small percentage of water molecules into equal numbers of hydrogen (H+) ions and hydroxide (OH–) ions. The hydroxide ions remain in solution because of their hydrogen bonds with other water molecules; the hydrogen ions, consisting of naked protons, are immediately attracted to un-ionized water molecules and form hydronium ions (H30+). By convention, scientists refer to hydrogen ions and their concentration as if they were free in this state in liquid water.

The concentration of hydrogen ions dissociating from pure water is 1 × 10-7 moles H+ ions per liter of water. The pH is calculated as the negative of the base 10 logarithm of this concentration:

The negative log of 1 × 10-7 is equal to 7.0, which is also known as neutral pH. Human cells and blood each maintain near-neutral pH.

pH Scale

The pH of a solution indicates its acidity or basicity (alkalinity). The pH scale is an inverse logarithm that ranges from 0 to 14: anything below 7.0 (ranging from 0.0 to 6.9) is acidic, and anything above 7.0 (from 7.1 to 14.0) is basic (or alkaline ). Extremes in pH in either direction from 7.0 are usually considered inhospitable to life. The pH in cells (6.8) and the blood (7.4) are both very close to neutral, whereas the environment in the stomach is highly acidic, with a pH of 1 to 2.

1. Using the Slater rule, determine the effective nuclear charge of platinum.
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Z* = 3.55

Explanation:

Slater rule says that:

Z*= Z - S

Z* be the nuclear effective charge

Z is the nuclear charge

S is the shielding constant

First we write the electronic configuration of platinum:1s^{2} 2s^{2} 2p^{6} 3s^{2} 3p^{6} 3d^{10} 4s^{2} 4p^{6} 4d^{10} 5s^{2} 5p^{6} 4f^{14} 5d^{9} 6s^{1}

The first Slater rule says that we need to group:

(1s^{2}) (2s, 2p)^{8} (3s, 3p)^{8} (3d^{10}) (4s, 4p)^{8} (4d^{10}) (5s, 5p)^{8} (4f^{14}) (5d^{9}) (6s^{1})

The second rule says that the electrons to the right are not shielding, but we are going to solve the exercise for the last level (6s), so we don't have electrons to the right.

For the third rule we have two considerations, if is ns or np and if is nd or nf:

For our case, we have an electro that is in ns, so the rule says that

-electrons within same group shield 0.35, except the 1s which shield 0.30

-electrons within the n-1 group shield 0.85

-electrons within the n-2 or lower groups shield 1.00

Now we can proceed with the calculation:

The first consideration in the third rule does not apply as we only have one electron on this level.

The second consideration will be as follow for the level 5, where we have 17 electrons.

Finally the third consideration will be for levels 1, 2, 3 and 4, where we have 14 for 4f, 10 for 4d, 8 for 4s and 4p, 10 for 3d, 8 for 3s and 3p, 8 for 2s and 2p and finally 2 for 1s, which gives 60 electrons.

So the result for S=(60*1.00 + 17*0.85) = 74.45

And the equation is: Z* = 78 - 74.45

So Z* = 3.55

Ch3cooh (acetic acid) can form hydrogen bonds between its molecules. based on the lewis structure shown below, how many hydrogen
never [62]
Answer:
           Number of Hydrogen Bond Acceptor atoms  =  2

           Number of Hydrogen Bond Donor atoms  =  1

Explanation:
                   Hydrogen bond interactions are formed between those molecules which contains partial positive hydrogen atoms bonded covalently to most electronegative atoms like Oxygen, Nitrogen and Fluorine. 
                   When hydrogen is attached to Oxygen, Nitrogen or Fluorine its electron density decreases and gets partial positive charge, this partial positive charged hydrogen atom then makes hydrogen bonding with the most electronegative element (partial negative) of neighbor molecule.
                    In Acetic acid there are two oxygen atoms hence there are two most electronegative elements therefore, two Hydrogen Bond Acceptor atom and each oxygen atom can accept two hydrogen bonds.
                    Also, it contains only one Hydrogen atom attached to oxygen atom so it has one Hydrogen Bond Donor atom.
