Which statement justifies that phosphine (PH3) is a polar molecule?

1 answer:

4 0

The P-H bond is polar and the molecule is asymmetric.

Non-polar bonds cannot produce polar molecules and symmetric bonds result in even distribution of charge, so no net charge is observed.

Chlorine has two naturally occurring isotopes, 35C1 Gsotopic mass 34.9689 amu) and 370 (isotopic mass 36.9659 amu). If chlorine

Lilit [14]

Answer: The percentage abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ and $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotopes are 75.77% and 24.23% respectively.

Explanation:

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

$\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i$ .....(1)

Let the fractional abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope be 'x'. So, fractional abundance of $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope will be '1 - x'

For $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope:

Mass of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = 34.9689 amu

Fractional abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = x

For $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope:

Mass of $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = 36.9659 amu

Fractional abundance of $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = 1 - x

Average atomic mass of chlorine = 35.4527 amu

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$35.4527=[(34.9689\times x)+(36.9659\times (1-x))]\\\\x=0.7577$

Percentage abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = $0.7577\times 100=75.77\%$

Percentage abundance of $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = $(1-0.7577)=0.2423\times 100=24.23\%$

Hence, the percentage abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ and $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotopes are 75.77% and 24.23% respectively.

The following reaction occurs in a car’s catalytic converter.

blagie [28]

Answer:The correct answer is ;

The oxidation state of nitrogen in NO changes from +2 to 0, and the oxidation state of carbon in CO changes from +2 to +4 as the reaction proceeds.

Explanation:

$2NO(g)+2CO(g)\rightarrow N_2(g)+2CO_2(g)$

In an oxidation recation addition of oxygen atom takes place or loss of electrons takes place.

In an reduction reaction removal of oxygen atom takes place or gain of electrons takes place.

In the given reaction , the nitrogen atom is present in +2 oxidation state in NO molecule and present in 0 oxidation state in $N_2$ molecule. Hence, nitrogen is getting reduced that is reduction reaction. NO is oxidizing agent

In the given reaction , the carbon atom is present in +2 oxidation state in CO molecule and present in +4 oxidation state in $CO_2$ molecule. Hence ,carbon is getting oxidized that is oxidation reaction. CO is a reducing agent.

A mole represents a macroscopic quantity of matter that can be used in the laboratory.

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

A. True

Explanation:

Mole is the unit associated with measuring substances in chemistry. Chemicals are usually measured in moles and it is derived from the formula - mass/molar mass.

This makes the mole a definition of the representation of a macroscopic quantity of matter that can be used in the laboratory and hereby validates the answer as being true .
