71. Write the chemical formula for one compound in the equation
that contains both ionic bonds and covalent bonds.
72. Explain, in terms of electronegativity difference, why the bond
between hydrogen and oxygen in a water molecule is more
polar than the bond between hydrogen and nitrogen in an
ammonia molecule.

have both ionic bonds and covalent bonds (Table E: Selected
Polyatomic Ions)
72. ANS: The electronegativity difference between oxygen and hydrogen (3.4-2.2 =
1.2) is greater than the electronegativity difference between nitrogen and
hydrogen (3.0-2.2 = 0.8) and so the bond between oxygen and hydrogen in
water is more polar than the bond between nitrogen and hydrogen in
ammonia. (Use table S for Electronegativity values)

Other ways of removing water include” :
(1) Just allowing the water to evaporate at room temperature
(2) Removing water by distillation since Water and NaCl will have very different
boiling points

Base your answers to questions 80 through 82 on the
information below.
Some carbonated beverages are made by forcing
carbon dioxide gas into a beverage solution. When a
bottle of one kind of carbonated beverage is first
opened, the beverage has a pH value of 3.
80. State, in terms of the pH scale, why this
beverage is classified as acidic.
Ans: beverage is acidic because its pH is less than than 7
What happens when CO2 (g)
is bubbled through water ?
(Hint; See table K Common Acids
81 Using Table M, identify one indicator that is yellow in a solution
that has the same pH value as this beverage.
Use Table L, Possible Answers = bromthymol blue, bromcresol green or thymol blue
82 After the beverage bottle is left open for several hours, the
hydronium ion concentration in the beverage solution decreases to
1/1000 of the original concentration. Determine the new pH of the
beverage solution.
Started at pH = 3 ( so H + ion concentration = 10 –pH = 1 x 10-3 M (mol/L)
New H+ concentration = 1 x 10-3 ÷ 1000 = 1 x 10-6 M
Remember pH = -log (H+) so the new pH = 6

Polonium-210 occurs naturally, but is scarce. Polonium-210 is primarily
used in devices designed to eliminate static electricity in machinery. It is also
used in brushes to remove dust from camera lenses.
Polonium-210 can be created in the laboratory by bombarding bismuth209 with neutrons to create bismuth-210. The bismuth-210 undergoes
beta decay to produce polonium-210. Polonium-210 has a half-life of 138
days and undergoes alpha decay.
