Why are the molecules of hydrocarbons nonpolar?

2 answers:

7 0

<span>Because hydrocarbons consist only C-H bonds, which are non-polar. When you look at the table of electronegativity (Pauling scale), you see, that the difference between the electronegativities of carbon and hydrogen is much smaller than that of nitrogen and hydrogen.

<span>This is not the case in the hydrocarbon tail. The electronegativity of hydrogen and carbon are very similar, so the electron cloud is distributed evenly over the two atoms. Carbon-hydrogen bonds are said to be non-polar because they do not have positive and negative poles within themselves. Hope this helps. </span>

How long is a red blood cell

Lera25 [3.4K]

I suspect this question should read "How long does a red blood cell live." A red blood cell lives for between 100 and 120 days. It takes 7 days for a new red blood cell to develop from stem cells. Stem cells are similar to base cells. They can also be seen as a general template from which specialized cells are made. Stem cells can be taken from a newborn baby's umbilical chord or extracted from an adult blood donor's blood.This

Reil [10]

Answer:

a. What is the wavelength?

The wavelength is 5 meters.

b. What is the frequency?

The frequency is 0.05Hz

c. What is the wave velocity?

The wave velocity is 0.25 meters per second

Explanation:

the wavelength is the distance between two troughs or two crests, which in this case is 5 meters.

the frequency=cycles/time. For this equation the equation would be 1/20, which is 0.05

the wave velocity=wavelength x frequency. Plug in the numbers, 5 x 0.05, and you will get 0.25.

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

1. 7.81 moles HgO

2. n = mass/molar mass = (4000 g)/(159.69 g/mol) = 25.05 mol.

Explanation:

How many moles of mercury (II) oxide are needed to produce 125 g of oxygen?

2HgO ==> 2Hg + O2

125 g O2 x 1 mol O2/32 g x 2 mol HgO / mol O2 = 7.81 moles HgO

If 4000 g of Fe2O3 is available to react, how many moles of CO are needed?

The no. of moles of CO are needed = 75.15 mol.

Fe₂O₃ + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO₂,

It is clear that 1 mol of Fe₂O₃ reacts with 3 mol of CO to produce 2 mol of Fe and 3 mol of CO₂.

If 4.00 kg Fe₂O₃ are available to react, how many moles of CO are needed?

We need to calculate the no. of moles of 4.00 kg Fe₂O₃:

n = mass/molar mass = (4000 g)/(159.69 g/mol) = 25.05 mol.

Using cross multiplication:

1 mol of Fe₂O₃ need → 3 mol of CO to react completely, from stichiometry.

25.05 mol of Fe₂O₃ need → ??? mol of CO to react completely.

The no. of moles of CO are needed = (3 mol)(25.05 mol)/(1 mol) = 75.15 mol.
