CO2<span> is a linear molecule and the Oxygen (O) atoms on each end are symmetrical. Polarity results from an unequal sharing of valence electrons. Because of this symmetry there is no region of unequal sharing and </span>CO2<span> is a</span>nonpolar<span> molecule</span>
One thing to notice in the question is, we are asked about molecular oxygen that has formula O2 not atomic oxygen O.
As we are asked about molecular oxygen, we will answer the question in terms of number of molecules that are present in 16 grams of molecular oxygen.
To get the number of molecules present in 16 grams of O2, we will use the formula:
No. of molecules = no. of moles x Avogadro's number (NA)----- eq 1)
As we know:
The number of moles = mass/ molar mass of molecule
Here we have been given mass already, 16 grams and the molar mass of O2 is 32 grams.
Putting the values in above formula:
= 16/32
= 0.5 moles
Putting the number of moles and Avogadro's number (6.02 * 10^23) in eq 1
No. of molecules = 0.5 x 6.02 * 10^23
=3.01 x 10^23 molecules
or 301,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 molecules
This means that 16 grams of 3.01 x 10^23 molecules of oxygen.
Hope it helps!
<h2>Answer : Option C) Smaller volume - crowded particles - more collisions - high pressure</h2><h3>Explanation : </h3>
The kinetic molecular theory of gases explains that if there is small volume of gas there will be more crowding of the gas molecules inside the container. The crowded gas molecules will collide with each other and also with the walls of container as a result, exchange of energies will take place. Which will increase the pressure inside the container, and will raise the pressure than the initial pressure.
Answer:
Chopping wood logs
A pot of water o a grate over a burning fire
Explanation:
Physical change is easily reversible. Burning/combustion is a chemical process where substances react rapidly with oxygen: this is usually irreversible.
The marshmallow, roasted food and burned wood all undergo combustion and hence are tagged chemical changes.
