Answer:

D.) H-O

Explanation:

Polarity is determined based on the difference in electronegativity of the atoms. The greater the difference, the more polar the bond. The general trend is that the atoms in the top-right corner of the periodic table are the most electronegative.

A.) is incorrect because H-H has no electronegativity difference, making it nonpolar.

B.) and C.) are incorrect because their electronegativity differences are not the greatest.

D.) is correct because the electronegativity difference between the H and O is the greatest.

A compound that conducts an electric current in aqueous solution or in the molten state.

Answer:

A compound that conducts an electric current in aqueous solution or in the molten state is a ionic compound.

E.g. NaCl (table salt)

Explanation:

Some examples of ionic compounds are NaCl, KF, KI, MgSO₄.

Ionic compounds are formed by positivie ions (named cations) and negative ions (named anions). The strong electrostatic atraction between cations and anions permits the formation of crystals, which are stuctures characterized by a regular pattern. In solid state the ions are in fixed positions.

In order to conduct electricity, the charged particles (cations and anions in the case of the ionic compounds) need to move freely.

Hence, since in solid state, ionic compounds do not conduct electric current. But, in molten (liquid) state or in aqueous solution, ionic compounds conduct electric current because, then, the ions move freely.

The equilibrium concentrations of the reactants and products are [ HA ] = 0.260 M [HA]=0.260 M , [ H + ] = 2.00 × 10 − 4 M [H+]=

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

pKa of the acid HA with given equilibrium concentrations is 6.8

Explanation:

The dissolution reaction is:

HA ⇔ H⁺ + A⁻

So at equilibrium, Ka is calculated as below

Ka = [H⁺] x [A⁻] / [HA] = 2.00 x 10⁻⁴ x 2.00 x 10⁻⁴ / 0.260

= 15.38 x 10⁻⁸

Hence, by definition,

pKa = -log(Ka) = - log(15.38 x 10⁻⁸) = 6.813

In the reaction Ca + Cl2 → CaCl2, what is the mole ratio of chlorine to calcium chloride?

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

D. 1:1

Explanation:

For every 1 mole of chlorine (Cl₂), there is one mole of calcium chloride (CaCl₂).

So, the mole ratio of chlorine to calcium chloride is 1:1.

Hope this helps. :)
