Re: Why HClO2 is a stronger acid than HBrO2?
Is this true every time there's an O2 in an acid? The hydrogen will be bound to one oxygen?

sigfigs for calculating pH
If we are given a concentration and a molarity and asked to calculate pH, which value's sigfigs should we look at to base our answers off of? For example, if we are told it's a 1L of a 2.4 M solution, would our answer have 1 sig fig or 2? I'm confused because in the book for example we were told to ...

12.25 6th Edition
It asks to calculate the initial molarity of Ba(OH)2 and the molarities of Ba+, OH-, and H3O+ in an aqueous solution that contains 0.43 g Ba(OH)2 on 0.100 L of solution. I don't understand how to find the molarity of H3O+ because I don't know the mole ratio since I thought that the equation would ju...

H2SO4 vs H2CO3
If both H2SO4 and H2CO3 are polyprotic acids, why is sulfuric acid a strong acid but carbonic acid is not? Is it because although carbonic acid CAN donate its 2 H+s, it's very unlikely to? Why then does sulfuric readily donate one H+ to make HSO4- ?

On question 21, can someone explain why Fe has an oxidation state of +2? I get that this is because of the nitrogens, but how do the nitrogens come to have a charge of -2? I was trying to calculate the formal charge but kept getting a positive charge on the nitrogens, not a negative charge. This is...

Is Hydrogen Bonding a type of Dipole-Dipole Interaction?
So is hydrogen bonding just a specific type of dipole-dipole interaction? If so, if we say two molecules have hydrogen bonding, then is it implied that there are dipole-dipole interactions between them also so that we don't have to state that explicitly?

I was also confused by this because it's drawn one way in the textbook but my TA drew it the opposite way in discussion. SO, by drawing "from positive to negative" do you mean with the arrowhead (<) on the negative dipole and the tail on the positive dipole?

We had to use the Rydberg equation for this problem and we were told that the electron went from n=4 to n=2, so I assumed that n1=4 and n2=2. That resulted in a negative number because the formula is R * (1/n1^2 - 1/n2^2), so it ended up being R* (-3/16) (because 1/16 - 4/16 = -3/16), and that answe...
