Why is BrCl5 nonpolar when it's Asymmetrical? Aren't symmetrical molecules suppposed to be polar?

Although there exists a dipole moment in the molecule, I guess its nonpolar because the dipole is very small as the electronegativity difference between the Br and Cl is very low and so it can be neglected.

Answer:

BrCl₅ is an asymmetrical molecule because it has one lone pair and five atoms bonded to the central atom. Due to low difference of electronegativities, BrCl₅ is a nonpolar molecule.

Explanation:

According to the Linus Pauling scale, the difference between their electronegativities Δx can be determined if the link will be:

  • polar: 0 ≤ Δx ≤ 0.4
  • nonpolar: 0.5 ≤ Δx ≤ 1.6
  • ionic: 1.7 ≤ Δx ≤ 2.0

Br-Cl bonds are nonpolar because the difference between their electronegativities is:

Br: 2.96

Cl: 3.16

Δx= 3.16 - 2.96 = 0.2

BrCl₅ has nonpolar bonds.

The refining of aluminum from bauxite ore (which contains 50.% Al2O3 by mass) proceeds by the overall reaction 2Al2O3 + 3C → 4Al
iragen [17]

Answer:

18.9 x 10¹³ grams of Bauxite Ore

Explanation:

Al₂O₃ = 50% of Bauxite Ore

Al₂O₃ = 0.5 (Bauxite Ore)--------------------------------------- (1)

Overall reaction:

2Al₂O₃ + 3C → 4Al + 3CO₂--------------------------------------- (2)

[ Al= 27 , O=16, C=12]

From  (2), 2 moles of  Aluminium oxide (Al₂O₃) gives  4 moles of Aluminium

In terms of grams, we can say:

Al₂O₃ = [2(27) +3(16)]

         = 54 +48

         =102grams

2 moles of Al₂O₃ = 2 x102grams

                            =204grams

4 moles of Al = 4 x 27

                      =108 grams

So from (2):

204 grams of  Al₂O₃   = 108 grams of  Aluminium

x grams of  Al₂O₃        =  5.0 x 10¹³grams of Aluminium

Calculating for x:

x =  (204 x  5.0 x 10¹³)/ 108

  = 9.44 x 10¹³ grams

So 9.44 x 10¹³ grams of pure bauxite (Bauxite) is required.

However the to calculate the quantity of raw bauxite, we use (1):

Bauxite ore = Pure Bauxite/0.5

                   =   9.44 x 10¹³ grams/0.5

                   =   18.88 x 10¹³ grams

                    ≈ 18.9 x 10¹³ grams

What is the maximum mass of b4c that can be formed from 2.00 moles of boron(iii) oxide?
anzhelika [568]

The maximum mass of B₄C that can be formed from 2.00 moles of boron (III) oxide is 55.25 grams.

<h3>What is the stoichiometry?</h3>

Stoichiometry of the reaction gives idea about the relative amount of moles of reactants and products present in the given chemical reaction.

Given chemical reaction is:

2B₂O₃ + 7C → B₄C + 6CO

From the stoichiometry of the reaction, it is clear that:

2 moles of B₂O₃ = produces 1 mole of B₄C

Now mass of B₄C will be calculated by using the below equation:

W = (n)(M), where

  • n = moles = 1 mole
  • M = molar mass = 55.25 g/mole

W = (1)(55.25) = 55.25 g

Hence required mass of B₄C is 55.25 grams.
