What does polar and nonpolar mean in science

2 answers:

6 0

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.

Butane (C4 H10(g), Hf = –125.6 kJ/mol) reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide (CO2 , Hf = –393.5 kJ/mol ) and water (H2 O,

WITCHER [35]

Answer: Enthalpy of combustion (per mole) of $C_4H_{10} (g)$ is -2657.5 kJ

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of butane follows:

$2C_4H_{10}(g)+4O_2(g)\rightarrow 8CO_2(g)+10H_2O(g)$

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(8\times \Delta H^o_f_{CO_2(g)})+(10\times \Delta H^o_f_{H_2O(g)})]-[(1\times \Delta H^o_f_{C_4H_{10}(g)})+(4\times \Delta H^o_f_{O_2(g)})]$

We are given:

$\Delta H^o_f_{(C_4H_{10}(g))}=-125.6kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(H_2O(g))}=-241.82kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(O_2(g))}=0kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(CO_2(g))}=-393.5kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_{rxn}=?$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(8\times -393.5)+(10\times -241.82)]-[(2\times -125.6)+(4\times 0)]\\\\\Delta H^o_{rxn}=-5315kJ$

Enthalpy of combustion (per mole) of $C_4H_{10} (g)$ is -2657.5 kJ

Write a net ionic equation to show that hydroiodic acid, hi, behaves as an acid in water.

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

HI(aq) + H₂O(ℓ) ⟶ H₃O⁺(aq) + I⁻(aq)

Explanation:

The HI donates a proton to the water, converting it to a hydronium ion

HI(aq) + H₂O(ℓ) ⟶ H₃O⁺(aq) + I⁻(aq)

Thus, the HI is behaving like a Brønsted acid.

How many MOLECULES are in 50.0 grams of lithium phosphate?

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer: 2.60 x 10^23 molecules

50.0 grams x (1 mol/115.79 grams) = 0.431816219 moles

0.431816219 mol x (6.02 x 10^23 molecules/1 mol) = 2.599533638 x 10^23 molecules (final answer is rounded)
