This statement is TRUE.
The polarity of the molecule is caused by unequal sharing of the electrons in the covalent bond. Even though the carbon dioxide molecule is made from two different atoms, two oxygen atoms and one carbon atom, the CO2 molecule is non polar because of the structure of the molecule.
The CO2 has a linear, symmetrical structure. This means that the two oxygen atoms with greater electronegativity are symmetrically placed around the carbon molecule. This arrangement of atoms causes a balance in the sharing of the electrons, making the molecule non polar.
Answer:
11.31g NaClO₂
Explanation:
<em> Is given 250mL of a 1.60M chlorous acid HClO2 solution. Ka is 1.110x10⁻². What mass of NaClO₂ should the student dissolve in the HClO2 solution to turn it into a buffer with pH =1.45? </em>
It is possible to answer this question using Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:
pH = pKa + log₁₀ [A⁻] / [HA]
<em>Where pKa is -log Ka = 1.9547; [A⁻] is the concentration of the conjugate base (NaClO₂), [HA] the concentration of the weak acid</em>
You can change the concentration of the substance if you write the moles of the substances:
[Moles HClO₂] = 250mL = 0.25L×(1.60mol /L) = <em>0.40 moles HClO₂</em>
Replacing in H-H expression, as the pH you want is 1.45:
1.45 = 1.9547 + log₁₀ [Moles NaClO₂] / [0.40 moles HClO₂]
-0.5047 = log₁₀ [Moles NaClO₂] / [0.40 moles HClO₂]
<em>0.3128 = </em>[Moles NaClO₂] / [0.40 moles HClO₂]
0.1251 = Moles NaClO₂
As molar mass of NaClO₂ is 90.44g/mol, mass of 0.1251 moles of NaClO₂ is:
0.1251 moles NaClO₂ ₓ (90.44g / mol) =
<h3>11.31g NaClO₂</h3>
Simple ways to reduce heat loss include fitting carpets, curtains and draught excluders. It is even possible to fit reflective foil in the walls or on them. Heat loss through windows can be reduced by using double glazing. These special windows have air or a vacuum between two panes of glass.
