I think the answer will be b cuh
A covalent bond is formed between two non-metals that have similar electronegativities.
An <em>i</em><em>o</em><em>n</em><em>i</em><em>c</em><em> </em><em>b</em><em>o</em><em>n</em><em>d</em> is formed between a metal and a non-metal. Non-metals(-ve ion) are "stronger" than the metal(+ve ion) and can get electrons very easily from the metal. These two opposite ions attract each other and form the ionic bond.
pH of 0.048 M HClO is 4.35.
<u>Explanation:</u>
HClO is a weak acid and it is dissociated as,
HClO ⇄ H⁺ + ClO⁻
We can write the equilibrium expression as,
Ka =
Ka = 4.0 × 10⁻⁸ M
4.0 × 10⁻⁸ M =
Now we can find x by rewriting the equation as,
x² = 4.0 × 10⁻⁸ × 0.048
= 1.92 × 10⁻⁹
Taking sqrt on both sides, we will get,
x = [H⁺] = 4.38 × 10⁻⁵
pH = -log₁₀[H⁺]
= - log₁₀[ 4.38 × 10⁻⁵]
= 4.35
