Solution
AS PER CHEGG POLICY, PROCEEDING TO ANSWER ONLY THE FIRST 4
QUESTIONS/SUBPARTS, THAT IS, QUESTIONS 1 TO 4:
Q.1 A neutral solution...
c. has equal amounts of H+ and OH- - this is because it is neutral so it should not be carrying
any net charge which is ony possible if the charged molecules are in equal concentration.
Q.2 Buffers prevent wide swings in pH by working:
b. Accepting or releasing H+ - this is because the addition of a strong base or an acid leads to
neutralization of the charged molecules proceed to yield neutral substances such as water and
hence only a very slight change in pH occurs.
Q.3 Polar covalent bonds form when:
a. Electrons are shared unequally between atoms - this is because covalent bonds are formed by
the sharing of electrons so that each attains their stable valence shell electronic configuration,
and differences in electronegativity of participating atoms causes the polar nature.
Q.4 The hydrogen bond between two water molecules arises because water is:
a. Polar - The angle between the two H-O bonds and Oxygen atom\'s highly electronegative
nature causes the covalent bond to take up a polar nature, leading to suitable conditions on the
