Can I ask if you remember the liters of water produced in this question, can you tell me please? Then I might be able to help?
Thanks

Acids and Bases
On the last question with Hcl and NaOH was the liters of water 1.00 L? If we are not supposed to ask about the final now, please ignore this question. But was it 1.00 L or something else?
Thanks for helping

Re: Equation derived from the conjugate seesaw
Hello,
Usually both are negative since there are log equations involved. So negative log of pKa and negative log of pKb are supposed to add up to 14 however, what you are thinking of is Ka and Kb which are not negative and add up to Kw or 1.00 x 10^-14

Re: Proton Transfer Reactions
Hello, Sodium is not integral to the reaction. There are plenty of examples where chemicals are not important, one is the dissociation equilibrium of a weak acid where water is not important even though it is mentioned. They are called spectator ions which you can look up to understand why some ions...

Re: Dipole moments on test 4
Hello,
The easy answer is that dipole moment is different from polarity. Dipole moments are based upon lone pairs, all the chemicals you mentioned lack lone pairs and this less pull on the other atoms in the structure. Only if there are lone pairs they can have a dipole moment, does that help?

Hello, Ok this might be confusing but please bear with me. First you have to convert moles to molarity by dividing by the 10 liters. Secondly, since nitrogen has a 2 as a coefficient you have to square the initial molarity of nitrogen you solved above. Also you have to square the x for the change fo...

Re: Strong vs Weak Acids/bases
Hello, Strong acids always completely dissociate. Strong acids have weak bonds and want to separate. Only if water is the solvent then they will dissolve completely so .10 M of Hcl will be .10 M H plus and .10 M cl- but weak acids don’t dissociate very well. Weak acids have this ionization constant ...

Hello,
There are many K’s even ones for dissolving called Ksp which is for dissolving. Also It is different than Kc also Kp is different as there is a calculation to convert Kc to Kp so they can be different.
Hope this helps

Re: Sig Figs for Calculating pH and pOH
Hello,
Usually the pH is calculated by counting two digits after the decimal, usually the sig figs will be counted after the decimal place so 1.66 has two significant figures.

Re: Neutralization reactions
Hello,
The equation is that you add zinc hydroxide to nitrous acid which is HNO2, when you add the base and acid together, it will create a neutralization reaction which will result in one h2o molecule and zinc nitrite.

Hello, So what you basically do is draw brackets and draw nitrate in one bracket and draw zinc in another bracket. There are 2 nitrates for every zinc so add a superscript of 2 to thenotratr bracket. This is similar to (NH4)SO4 that we covered in class had a similar formula or Lewis structure. Hope ...

Hi, No that’s not true, a weak base will have a strnot mg base as it’s conjugate, since a strong base will have a weak conjugate acid so vice versatile is true. To answer below strong acids are unstable somewhat and want to separate into ions as they have weak connections. This, Cl- is more stable w...

Re: Identifying an acid vs. a base
Hi, The main thing is that the equation should be there, when given the equation one can determine which chemical gains a proton or loses one. The acid loses an atom or proton and the base gains one. Bases usually contain OH minus and contain alkali earth or alkali metals. Acids contain anions like ...

Dear student, Only if you write the formula you have to have to right the ion name, because it matters if it is on the formula, it will determine how you name it. For example: [Fe(NH3)Cl4]- where the name would be diammine dichloro ferrate(III) where the ion name is not there in the name but it is p...

Re: Kw= [H30+]*[OH-]
Dear student,
I don’t think water is counted because it is a solvent and a liquid. Usually in a equilibrium equation liquids and solids are omitted. Only aqueous compounds can be used in the K for equilibrium. Therefore only the ions h3o plus and OH- are included.

Hello chemistry community,
I have a question, how do you know if given a formula of a coordinate compound not written in parentheses like (CH2N(CH3COO)2)2 how do you know what dentate they are? I’m not able to understand?

Re: Molecular v Electron Arrangement
Hi, so for this question:
Line pairs are counted as bonds in the electron structure so if it is ax2e2 the electron structure is ax4 so tetrahedral. However, molecular is based on shape not actual electron number...hope this helps!

Re: Energy levels
Hi!
The energy levels are based on the highest orbitals, the higher orbitals have more energy, and it can be determined by the order of the periodic table nitrogen then oxygen and then flourine. Hope this helps!

Re: Beryllium exception
This is only because beryllium only has 4 valence electrons, it does not have enough electrons in order to fulfill the octet rule, therefore it does not follow the octet rule due to limited electrons.

The main exception to the octet rule is that the d-orbitals can be used to prove that electrons can hold more than 8 electrons, due to the d orbital having 10 electrons and the f orbital having even more. Also, atoms like lithium, boron, and beryllium have too few valence electrons to fulfill the oc...

Re: Exceptions to Trends
There are also exceptions to electron affinity between C and N, as Carbon as the higher electron affinity, even though it is expected for nitrogen to have a higher electron affinity, this is due to the orbitals being half filled or not half filled.
