What are the properties of ionic compounds?

As you may know, ionic compounds are composed of electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions. This means that there are no free moving ions in the compound, as they have all been bo...

A buffer solution was formed by mixing 20.0 cm^3 of sodium hydroxide solution of concentration 0.100 mol dm^–3 with 25.0 cm^3 of ethanoic acid of concentration 0.150 mol dm^–3. CH3COOH + NaOH---CH3COONa + H2O Calculate the pH of this buffer solution.

Ka for ethanoic acid = 1.74 × 10–5 mol dm–3 also given in question. moles = concentration x volume / 1000Ka = [H+] [A-]/[HA]pH = -log [H+]
initial moles:NaOH: 20x0.1/1000 = 0.002molCH...

NaOH has a high melting point and conducts electricity in solution. H2O has a low melting point and does not conduct electricity. Explain, using the structure of each, why this is the case.

NaOH is an ionic compound with strong electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions. This means the melting point is high, as the bonds ne...
