Is this true every time there's an O2 in an acid? The hydrogen will be bound to one oxygen?

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 ...

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...

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...

Under the list of Anionic Ligands (from the Naming Coordination Compounds link on Dr. Lavelle's website) there is the name cyano for when cyanide is bound to the transition metal at the carbon, but there is also the name isocyano for when cyanide binds at the nitrogen. I thought that cyanide was alw...

You said that in order for hydrogen bonding to occur, the hydrogen in the individual molecule has to be bound to either O,N, or F to hydrogen bond with another molecule, but in CH3CH2OCH2CH3, none of the hydrogens are actually bound to the oxygen, but in number 3 d. of this worksheet, it says that ...

On Worksheet 6, #1 it asks to draw the most stable lewis structure for nitrogen dioxide (NO2), to determine the shape, and determine whether or not it it polar. In the key, the lewis structure is drawn with one single bond between nitrogen and oxygen and one double bond between nitrogen and the oth...

On the Week 6 Step-Up, why is #1a. only dipole-dipole and dispersion forces? Isn't there hydrogen bonding also between the hydrogen of one CH3CF3 and the fluorine of another CH3CF3 molecule? No, the H in the individual molecule must have hydrogen bonded to N, O, or F first for the interaction youre...

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?

Joussie Camacho 4I

In the textbook it says that multiple bonds are shorter than single bonds between the same two elements, but doesn't that also apply to bonds between different elements? Ex: CO, CO2, CO3^2-. The two elements are different, but when I drew out the Lewis structures for all three of them, that rule sti...

For #8, which asks for the full electron configuration of Nitrogen, would 1s^22s^22p^3 be wrong? Do we have to write out 2px^1 2py^1 2pz^1?

Thank you! For 6.b. isn't it asking for the work energy/ the threshold energy? In the solution, E=hv is used to find energy, but I thought that was energy of the incoming photon and it's asking how much energy is required to remove the electron. So wouldn't you find the kinetic energy of the photon ...

How do you know that/when the d-orbital has to fill before the s-orbital? For example, why is the electron configuration of Cu+: [Ar]3d^10 rather than [Ar]3d^94s^1.

The question is: In a second experiment a shorter wavelength light source is used resulting in ejected electrons with a kinetic energy of 4.200 x 10-19 J. What is the energy of this incident light?

The question is: Light hits a sodium metal surface and the velocity of the ejected electron is 6.61 x 105 m.s-1. The work function for sodium is 150.6 kJ.mol-1. Then it asks: How much energy is required to remove an electron from one sodium atom? In other words, it's asking for the threshold energy ...

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...
