Answer:

Atoms only share electrons in covalent bonds. covalent bonds are only formed between nonmetals. there are two different types of covalent bonds; polar and nonpolar. in a polar covalent bonds electrons are shared unequally because one atom has a stronger force of attraction than the other (EX. H2O). In a nonpolar covalent bond, the electrons are shared equally because they're electronegativity is also equal (EX. Cl2).

Overall, the atoms electronegativity determines the way it shares electrons

You need to prepare 1 L of the citric acid/citrate buffer. You have chosen to use Method 1 (see lab presentation). Calculate the

prisoha [69]

Answer:

3.11 is the pH of the buffer

Explanation:

The pH of a buffer is obtained using H-H equation:

pH = pKa + log [Conjugate base] / [Weak acid]

Where pH is the pH of the buffer, pKa = -log Ka = 3.14 for the citric buffer and [] could be taken as the moles of each species.

The citric acid,HX (Weak acid), reacts with NaOH to produce sodium citrate, NaX (weak base) and water:

HX + NaOH → H2O + NaX

That means the moles of NaOH added = Moles of sodium citrate produced

And the resulitng moles of HX = Initial moles - Moles NaOH added

Moles HX and NaX:

Moles NaOH = 0.100L * (0.65mol / L) = 0.065 moles NaOH = Moles NaX

Moles HX = 0.300L * (0.45mol / L) = 0.135 moles HX - 0.065 moles NaOH = 0.070 moles HX

Replacing in H-H equation:

pH = 3.14 + log [0.065mol] / [0.070mol]

pH = 3.11 is the pH of the buffer
