Answer:

b. oxygen side being slightly negative and the hydrogen side being slightly positive.

Explanation:

The water molecule is a polar molecule, that is to say that its distribution of electronic density is different throughout the molecule.

In this way, in the water molecule there is a negative partial charge towards the oxygen atom and a positive partial charge towards the hydrogen atom.

This polar characteristic of the water molecule allows ions and other molecules to exhibit water solubility and is widely used in chemical reactions.

Sulfur dioxide gas reacts with oxygen gas to form sulfur trioxide gas. express your answer as a chemical equation. identify all

Firlakuza [10]

Sulfur trioxide (SO3) is a chemical compound that is a significant pollutant in gaseous form as it is involved in the production of acid rain.

Industrially, sulfur trioxide is an important precursor to sulfuric acid and is formed from the reaction between sulfur dioxide (SO2) and oxygen gas (O2) as shown in the chemical equation below.

Does the temperature of the solvent (water) affect the rate of dissolving?

gregori [183]

Yes. Heating up the solvent gives the molecules more kinetic energy. The more rapid motion means that the solvent molecules collide with the solute with greater frequency and the collisions occur with more force. Both factors increase the rate at which the solute dissolves.

The acid-dissociation constant for benzoic acid (C6H5COOH) is 6.3×10−5. Calculate the equilibrium concentration of H3O+ in the s

raketka [301]

Answer : The equilibrium concentration of $H_3O^+$ in the solution is, $2.1\times 10^{-3}M$

Explanation :

The dissociation of acid reaction is:

$C_6H_5COOH+H_2O\rightarrow H_3O^++C_6H_5COO^-$

Initial conc. c 0 0

At eqm. c-x x x

Given:

c = $7.0\times 10^{-2}M$

$K_a=6.3\times 10^{-5}$

The expression of dissociation constant of acid is:

$K_a=\frac{[H_3O^+][C_6H_5COO^-]}{[C_6H_5COOH]}$

$K_a=\frac{(x)\times (x)}{(c-x)}$

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$6.3\times 10^{-5}=\frac{(x)\times (x)}{[(7.0\times 10^{-2})-x]}$

$x=2.1\times 10^{-3}M$

Thus, the equilibrium concentration of $H_3O^+$ in the solution is, $2.1\times 10^{-3}M$

How many grams is 4.2X10^24 atoms of sulfur?

ipn [44]

First find the number of moles of sulfur using dimensional analysis with avogadro’s number as the conversion factor. 4.2*10^24 atoms * (1 mol/6.022*10^23 atoms) = 7.0 mol sulfur. The molar mass of sulfur is 32.06 g/mol, which is found on the periodic table as sulfur’s (S) atomic weight. Use dimensional analysis again with the molar mass of sulfur as the conversion factor. 7.0 mol * 32.06 g/mol = 224.42 g sulfur. Since the problems gives us two significant figures, round the mass of sulfur to 220 grams, or 2.2 * 10^2 g.
