(a)
Interpretation:
The type of bond present in a compound formed from magnesium and chlorine is to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
Electronegativity is defined as the tendency of an atom to attract electrons towards it. Polarized bonds are the result of the electronegativity difference between bonding atoms. If the electronegativity difference is

Concept introduction:
Electronegativity is defined as the tendency of an atom to attract electrons towards it. Polarized bonds are the result of the electronegativity difference between bonding atoms. If the electronegativity difference is
(c)
Interpretation:
The type of bond present in a compound formed from phosphorus and hydrogen is to be predicted.

- Calculate the pH and the pOH of each of the following solutions at 25 °C for which the substances ionize completely: (a) 0.000259 M HClO4arrow_forwardWhat is the pH of a 1.0 L buffer made with 0.300 mol of HF (Ka = 6.8 × 10⁻⁴) and 0.200 mol of NaF to which 0.160 mol of NaOH were added?arrow_forwardDetermine if the following salt is neutral, acidic or basic. If acidic or basic, write the appropriate equilibrium equation for the acid or base that exists when the salt is dissolved in aqueous solution. If neutral, simply write only NR. Be sure to include the proper phases for all species within the reaction. NaN₃arrow_forward
