katrin [286]

Explanation:

Silver and Gold belong to a special group of metals known as the native metals. They are found naturally on their own and not in combined form in rocks.

  • These metals are found uncombined because they are unreactive.
  • They prefer to alloy with themselves.
  • Calcium and magnesium on the other hand are reactive metals.
  • The unreactivity of these metals makes them uncombined in nature.

Describe polar covalent bonds using water as an example
Dahasolnce [82]
<span>A covalent bond is a bond formed by atom sharing.
In water molecule, there are twice the number of hydrogen atoms than the oxygen atoms. Its structure is H-O-H. The electronegative difference between the H and O allows them to be polar because on side there is positive charge and on another side there is negative charge.</span>

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>
