Carbon dioxide is a colorless, odorless gas, why is it considered a pollutant?

1 answer:

<span>Carbon dioxide is considered a pollutant because simply, it can cause global warming. On the other hand, CO2 increases the acidity of some bodies of water because CO2 will convert to carbonic acid it reacts with water.</span>

Give an example of a time when you would want to increase friction.

Snezhnost [94]

1) you want to increase friction when it gets cold. If you're outside and it's really cold, you're going to rub your hands to warm them up, therefore friction is increasing

I'm not do sure about decreasing.

How much positive charge is in 0.7 kg of lithium? with each atom having 3 protons and 3 electrons. The elemental charge is 1.602

hichkok12 [17]

Explanation:

As a neutral lithium atom contains 3 protons and its elemental charge is given as $1.602 \times 10^{-19} C$ . Hence, we will calculate its number of moles as follows.

Moles = $\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}$

= $\frac{0.7 \times 1000 g}{7 g/mol}$

= 100 mol

According to mole concept, there are $6.023 \times 10^{23}$ atoms present in 1 mole. So, in 100 mol we will calculate the number of atoms as follows.

No. of atoms = $100 \times 6.023 \times 10^{23}$

= $6.023 \times 10^{25}$ atoms

Since, it is given that charge on 1 atom is as follows.

$3 \times 1.602 \times 10^{-19}C$

= $4.806 \times 10^{-19}C$

Therefore, charge present on $6.023 \times 10^{25}$ atoms will be calculated as follows.

$6.023 \times 10^{25} atoms \times 4.806 \times 10^{-19} C$

$28.95 \times 10^{6}C$

Thus, we can conclude that a positive charge of $28.95 \times 10^{6}C$ is in 0.7 kg of lithium.

How does carbon dioxide behave differently (its properties) as a gas compared with as a solid?

ankoles [38]

It is effected by diffusion (the power of smell and wind spread) but a solid is not.

Determine the oxidation number of each element in these compounds or ions. (a) au2(seo4)3 (gold(iii) selenate) au = se = o = (b)

Stels [109]

<span> Au</span>₂(SeO₄)₃

O = -2 × 4 = -8
Se = + 6
So,
(+6 - 8) = -2

Means (SeO₄) contains -2 charge, Now multiply -2 by 3

-2 ₓ 3 = -6
Means,
Au₂ + (-6) = 0

Au₂ = +6
Or,
Au = 6 / 2

Au = +3
Result:
Au = +3
Se = +6
O = -2

Ni(CN)₂

Cyanide (CN⁻) contains -1 charge,
So,
N = -3
C = +2
Then,
Ni + (-1)₂ = 0

Ni - 2 = 0
Or,
Ni = +2
Result:
N = -3
C = +2
Ni = +2

Methylene chloride (CH2Cl2) has fewer chlorine atoms than chloroform (CHCl3). Nevertheless, methylene chloride has a larger mole

icang [17]

Answer:

Explanation has been given below.

Explanation:

Chloroform has three polar C-Cl bonds. Methylene chloride has two polar C-Cl bonds. So it is expected that chloroform should be more polar and posses higher dipole moment than methylene chloride.
Two factors are liable for the opposite trend observed in dipole moments of methylene chloride and chloroform.
First one is the number of hyperconjugative hydrogen atoms present in a molecule. Hyperconjugation occurs with vacant d-orbital of Cl atom. Hyperconjugation amplifies charge separation in a molecule resulting higher dipole moment.
Methylene chloride has two hyperconjugative hydrogen atoms and chloroform has one hyperconjugative hydrogen atom.Therefore methylene chloride should have higher charge separation as compared to chloroform.
Second one is induction of opposite polarity in a C-Cl bond by another C-Cl bond in a molecule. Higher the opposite induction of polarity, lower the charge separation in a molecule and hence lower the dipole moment of a molecule.
Chloroform has three C-Cl bonds and methylene chloride has two C-Cl bonds. Therefore opposite induction is higher for chloroform resulting it's lower dipole moment.
