What does polar and nonpolar mean in science

Polarity refers to the pull of electrons. Some elements like Fluorine and Oxygen pull electrons closer to them in their bonds (electronegativity), meaning they don't share them equally. So if they pull them closer, there is polarity in the molecule because there's a pull of electrons between atoms.

Polar molecules are molecules are essentially have no molecular symmetry. 

Nonpolar molecules are molecules that have molecular symmetry.

Water is a very basic example of a polar molecule.

How to prepare super saturated solution of copper sulphate ? Explain the experiment
expeople1 [14]

Explanation:

Monitor the temperature of the water with the thermometer. Stop heating the water once it nears the boiling point of 100 degrees Celsius. Add copper(II) sulfate and stir until the heated solution is saturated. When the solution is saturated, copper(II) sulfate will not dissolve anymore

Calculate the volume in mL of 0.279 M Ca(OH)2 needed to neutralize 24.5 mL of 0.390 M H3PO4 in a titration.
Vsevolod [243]

The volume of the 0.279 M Ca(OH)₂ solution required to neutralize 24.5 mL of 0.390 M H₃PO₄ is 51.4 mL

<h3>Balanced equation </h3>

2H₃PO₄ + 3Ca(OH)₂ —> Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 6H₂O

From the balanced equation above,

  • The mole ratio of the acid, H₃PO₄ (nA) = 2
  • The mole ratio of the base, Ca(OH)₂ (nB) = 3

<h3>How to determine the volume of Ca(OH)₂ </h3>
  • Molarity of acid, H₃PO₄ (Ma) = 0.390 M
  • Volume of acid, H₃PO₄ (Va) = 24.5 mL
  • Molarity of base, Ca(OH)₂ (Mb) = 0.279 M
  • Volume of base, Ca(OH)₂ (Vb) =?

MaVa / MbVb = nA / nB

(0.39 × 24.5) / (0.279 × Vb) = 2/3

9.555 / (0.279 × Vb) = 2/3

Cross multiply

2 × 0.279 × Vb = 9.555 × 3

0.558 × Vb = 28.665

Divide both side by 0.558

Vb = 28.665 / 0.558

Vb = 51.4 mL

Thus, the volume of the Ca(OH)₂ solution needed is 51.4 mL

Identify the most acidic hydrogens in each of the following molecules. Give the structure of the enolate ion arising from deprot
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

See explanation below (Brainlist please)

Explanation:

First of all, we need to understand what is an acidic hydrogen.

An acidic hydrogen, is the atom of hydrogen which is more propense to undergo an acid base reaction, and form a stable ion or molecule in the process.

In other words, is the hydrogen that is more vulnerable to get substracted in an acid base reaction to form another compound.

Knowing this information, gives us an idea of how a molecule can be formed and which kind of compound is formed.

Now, in this question, we have 5 molecules. Each of them is either a ketone or aldehyde, so this mean that we have the carbonile group (C = O), which means that is easier to identify the acidic hydrogen. This is because the Carbonile group is an attractor group, so, it will attract the charges by inductive effect (in some cases by resonance), and the molecule is more stable.

This can be shown by drawing the enolate ion that is formed once the molecule undergo the acid base reaction. As it's an enolate form that we are looking for, then it means that the ketone or aldehyde is undergoing an electrofilic attack with a base. This base will substract the most acidic hydrogen to form a better and stable enolate. The acidic hydrogen and the enolate form can be seen in the attached picture.

a) In the case of acetaldehyde, the most acidic will be the hydrogen of carbon 2, because the hydrogen from the carbonile, once it's substracted, the charge of the carbon cannot be stabilized by resonance. Carbon 2 hydrogens, can do this job easily.

b) Propanal happens something similar to acetaldehyde, the terminal hydrogen cannot be substracted, and carbon 3, once the hydrogen is gone, the negative charge cannot be stabilized by resonance, so hydrogens of carbon 2 can do this.

c) in the case of acetone, is easier to look because we only have the C = O between two methyl group, so you can use either carbon 1 or 3 to do the job.

d) 4 heptanone the most acidic hydrogen would be carbon 3 or 5, because they are closer to the C=O and the ion can be stabilized by resonance.

e) Finally in ciclopentanone, the most acidic hydrogen would be carbon 2 or 5.

See picture for a better understanding.

Hope it helps.

A chemist makes up a solution by dissolving 42.0 g of Mg(NO3)2 in enough water to produce a final solution volume of 259 mL. To
Igoryamba

Answer:

The molar mass of Mg(NO₃)₂, 148.3 g/mol.

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Mass of Mg(NO₃)₂ (solute): 42.0 g
  • Volume of solution: 259 mL = 0.259 L

Step 2: Calculate the moles of solute

To calculate the moles of solute, we need to know the molar mass of Mg(NO₃)₂, 148.3 g/mol.

42.0 g × 1 mol/148.3 g = 0.283 mol

Step 3: Calculate the molarity of the solution

M = moles of solute / liters of solution

M = 0.283 mol / 0.259 L

M = 1.09 M
