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?

Kc stands for the equilibrium constant and then Kp stands for the partial pressure.

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: question
What exactly is an easy way to remember the life of coordination compounds? Because I know this table will not be given on the

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.
