12.55 Part A

I am having trouble finding or figuring out the value for the CH^3CO^2- which is the value we need to plug-in in order to find the value of
[H^3O+]? I can post a picture of what I mean, I just know you need to plug in the values to find H^3o+ but I have every other values except that one?

I am having trouble understanding 11.33, I am confused to how when solving for Qc we are dividing the values by 0.500 and how now the values we are given wen from 0.10 to 1.0 x 10^4? Also, question on why the values of kc changed and how exactly the calculations were done for that to change to 6.9?

Re: Ligands [ENDORSED]

Tetra- means four so I believe tetradentate ligand is that there are ligands that bond with four donor atoms to one central atom to form a coordination complex. And then pent- means five so I believe that the pentadentate ligand binds with five atoms.

Re: Polarizable

When it is polarizable it means that there are an equal amount of negative and positive charges of electrons within an object.Because there is a separation in the charge that means that there is not an imbalance in the charges.

Re: Polar and Non-polar bond

With polar and non-polar bonds, I believe the easiest way to know the difference would be that polar bonds do not cancel and a non-polar must have zero electric dipole moment and bonds with dipoles must cancel. It is usually also easiest to draw out the lewis structure.
