Answer:
The correct answer is "transferred; unequally shared; equally shared".
Explanation:
Ionic bonding occurs when a positively charged atom (cation) interacts with a negatively charged atom (anion). In ionic bonding, the cation transfers its electron to the anion. In polar covalent bonding, electrons are unequally shared. This means that the electrons spend more time in an atom than the other, which gives partial positive and negative charges to the atoms. On the other hand in nonpolar covalent bonding, the electrons are equally shared and no charges are created.
When we have:
Zn(OH)2 → Zn2+ 2OH- with Ksp = 3 x 10 ^-16
and:
Zn2+ + 4OH- → Zn(OH)4 2- with Kf = 2 x 10^15
by mixing those equations together:
Zn(OH)2 + 2OH- → Zn(OH)4 2- with K = Kf *Ksp = 3 x 10^-16 * 2x10^15 =0.6
by using ICE table:
Zn(OH)2 + 2OH- → Zn(OH)4 2-
initial 2m 0
change -2X +X
Equ 2-2X X
when we assume that the solubility is X
and when K = [Zn(OH)4 2-] / [OH-]^2
0.6 = X / (2-2X)^2 by solving this equation for X
∴ X = 0.53 m
∴ the solubility of Zn(OH)2 = 0.53 M
