Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions. In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.
Answer:
Explanation:
Initial burette reading = 1.81 mL
final burette reading = 39.7 mL
volume of NaOH used = 39.7 - 1.81 = 37.89 mL .
37.89 mL of .1029 M NaOH is used to neutralise triprotic acid
No of moles contained by 37.89 mL of .1029 M NaOH
= .03789 x .1029 moles
= 3.89 x 10⁻³ moles
Since acid is triprotic , its equivalent weight = molecular weight / 3
No of moles of triprotic acid = 3.89 x 10⁻³ / 3
= 1.30 x 10⁻³ moles .
