Why is the brcl molecule polar? the shared electrons are closer to cl due to the greater electronegativity of chlorine. bromine

has a large positive nucleus. three-dimensional geometry is asymmetrical. chlorine gains an electron whereas bromine loses one?

Answer: the shared electrons are closer to cl due to the greater electronegativity of chlorine.


Justification:


1) In a covalent bond (the bond between two non-metal elements) the electrons are shared.


2) When the two elements have different electronegativities the electrons are not evely shared: the element with the greatest electronegativity will pull the electrons with higher strength.


3) As consequence the electrons will be closer to the most electronegative atom creating a dipole moment, which is what causes the molecule to be polar.


4) You can learn the trend of electronegativity in the periodic table: in a group the electronegativity decreases downward. With this you do not need a table with the values of the electronegativities and can predict that the electronegativity of Cl is greater than the electronegativity of Br.


5) From above statements you can conclude that, due to its greater electronegativity, chorine will pull the electrons with greater strength, causing the molecule to be polar.

A sample of black coffee was measured to have [h3o+] = 7.94 × 10−6. what is true about this solution?
Sveta_85 [38]
Being given the hydronium (or simply the hydrogen) ion concentration (molarity), one of the easiest properties of the solution to determine is its pH. The pH of a solution indicates the acidity (or basicity) of a given solution. The typical pH range of solutions is from 1 to 14, with 7 being neutral, 1 to 6 being acidic, and 8 to 14 being basic. 

To determine the pH of a solution, the negative log (-log) of the hydronium/hydrogen ion concentration (molarity) of the solution is calculated. Thus (assuming that the given hydrogen ion concentration is in molarity (mol/L)),

             pH = -log(H^{+})          or          -log(H_{3} O^{+}
             pH = -log (<span>7.94 × 10−6 mol/L) 
             pH = 5.13

Because the pH is less than 7 (within the range 1 to 6), then the black coffee solution is acidic. </span>

Consider the exothermic reaction
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is -2855 J

Explanation:

Reaction

                     2C₂H₆  +  7O₂   ⇒   4CO₂  +  6H₂O

Formula

Heat of reaction = ΔHrxn = ΣΔHrxn products - ΣΔHrxn reactants

Substitution

ΔHrxn = { 4(-393.5) + 6(-241.8)} - {2(-84.7) + 7(0)}

ΔHrxn = {-1574 -1450.8} - {-169.4}

ΔHrxn = -3024.8 + 169.4

ΔHrxn = -2855.4 J
