Why don't polar molecules and nonpolar molecules mix?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Bad White [126]4 years ago

Solution:

By the following ways the polar molecule doesn’t mix with non-polar molecule  

Polar molecules have a portion of their molecule which, relative to the rest of the molecule, is more negative.  

Water, for example, has a bent, or V-shape, due to the 2 lone electron pairs on oxygen. This makes the oxygen end more negative than the hydrogen end. This negative area allows for hydrogen bonding between that molecule and other molecules which are also polar.  

Non-polar molecules don't have a portion of the molecule which is more negative than the rest. An example of this is a hydrocarbon, like butane. Because there is no relatively negative region to the molecule, it cannot partake in hydrogen bonding and therefore does not mix with polar molecules.  

Thus we can conclude that Polar mixes with polar; non-polar mixes with non-polar.

How many moles of ethylene (C2H4) can react with 12.9 liters of oxygen gas at 1.2 atmospheres and 297 Kelvin? C2H4(g) + 3O2(g) y
7nadin3 [17]
1) Convert 12.9 liters of Oxygen to mol at the given conditions:

PV = nRT ⇒ n = PV/RT

n = [1.2atm*12.9 l] / [0.082 atm l /K mol * 297K]

n = 0.636 mol of O2

2) use the stoichiometry derived from the balanced chemical equation

 1mol C2H4 / 3  mol O2 =  x mol C2H4 / 0.636 mol O2

x = 0.636 / 3 mol O2 = 0.212 mol O2.

Answer: 0.212 mol O2
