How does the structure of covalent bonds affects their structure.

Covalent bond is a type of chemical bond which is formed as a result of sharing of electron pairs among the elements that are involved. The structure of the covalent bond is affected by the electronegativity of the elements involved. The molecules joined by covalent bond range in size from very small to very large polymers. There are different types of structures for covalent substances, these include: macromolecular substances, molecular substances and giant covalent structures. Strong bonds hold individual molecules together but there are negligible forces of attraction among them.

If 73.5 mL of 0.200 M KI(aq) was required to precipitate all of the lead(II) ion from an aqueous solution of lead(II) nitrate, h
frutty [35]

Answer:

There were 0.00735 moles Pb^2+ in the solution

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of the KI solution = 73.5 mL = 0.0735 L

Molarity of the KI solution = 0.200 M

Step 2: The balanced equation

2KI + Pb2+ → PbI2 + 2K+

Step 3: Calculate moles KI

moles = Molarity * volume

moles KI = 0.200M * 0.0735L = 0.0147 moles KI

Ste p 4: Calculate moles Pb^2+

For 2 moles KI we need 1 mol Pb^2+ to produce 1 mol PbI2 and 2 moles K+

For 0.0147 moles KI we need 0.0147 / 2 = 0.00735 moles Pb^2+

There were 0.00735 moles Pb^2+ in the solution

If a molecule can hydrogen bond, does it guarantee that it will have a higher boiling point than a molecule that cannot? Explain
saul85 [17]

Answer:

a): not necessarily due to London Dispersion Forces and dipole-dipole interactions.  

b): not necessarily due to London Dispersion Forces.

Explanation:

There are three major types of intermolecular interaction:

  • Hydrogen bonding between molecules with H-O, H-N, or H-F bonds and molecules with lone pairs.
  • Dipole-dipole interactions between all molecules.
  • London dispersion forces between all molecules.

The melting point of a substance is a result of all three forces, combined.

Note that the more electrons in each molecule, the stronger the London Dispersion Force. Generally, that means the more atoms in each molecule, the stronger the London dispersion force. The strength of London dispersion force between large molecules can be surprisingly strong.

For example, \rm H_2O (water) molecules are capable of hydrogen bonding. The melting point of \rm H_2O at \rm 1\; atm is around 0 \; ^{\circ}\rm C. That's considerably high when compared to other three-atom molecules.

In comparison, the higher alkane hexadecane (\rm C_{16}H_{34}, straight-chain) isn't capable of hydrogen bonding. However, under a similar pressure, hexadecane melts at around 18\; ^{\circ}\rm C above the melting point of water. The reason is that with such a large number of atoms (and hence electrons) per molecule, the London dispersion force between hexadecane molecules could well be stronger than that the hydrogen bonding between water molecules.

Similarly, the dipole moments in HCl (due to the highly-polar H-Cl bonds) are much stronger than those in hexadecane (due to the C-H bonds.) However, the boiling point of hexadecane under standard conditions is much higher (at around 287\; \rm ^\circ C than that of HCl.

Choose the statement below that is correct for gas particles according to KMT.
rewona [7]

Answer:

2.At a given temperature, the KE of all gases is the same.KE depends only on Kelvin temperature

Explanation:

The kinetic molecular theory of gases provides a succint expalantion and insight into the behaviour of gases. The assumptions of the theory are stated below:

  1. Gases are made up of large number of identical molecules which are moving at different speeds.
  2. Spaces occupied by molecules of gases are negligible compared to the volume of the container.
  3. Molecules of gases are independent of one another.
  4. The molecules collide with themselves and the walls of the container elastically.
  5. The temperature of a gas is a measure of only the average kinetic energy of the molecules.
