When oxygen has an electronegativity of 3.5, and carbon has an electronegativity of 2.5, then the oxygen atom would have a slightly negative charge. The oxygen atom in the carbon monoxide molecule would pull more electrons to its side since it has higher electronegativity making it slightly negative and the carbon would have a slightly positive charge as it would contain less electrons. This results to the formation of a polar molecule. A polar molecule is made when the molecule contains a slightly positive end and a slightly negative end. It would have a net dipole which is a result of the partial opposing charges in the molecule.
Answer:
Zn(s) → Zn⁺²(aq) + 2e⁻
Explanation:
Let us consider the complete redox reaction:
Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)
This is a redox reaction because, both oxidation and reduction is simultaneously taking place.
- Oxidation (loss of electrons or increase in the oxidation state of entity)
- Reduction (gain of electrons or decrease in the oxidation state of the entity)
- An element undergoes oxidation or reduction in order to achieve a stable configuration. It can be an octet configuration. An octet configuration is that of outer shell configuration of noble gas.
Here Zn(s) is undergoing oxidation from OS 0 to +2
And H in HCl (aq) is undergoing reduction from OS +1 to 0.
Therefore, for this reaction;
Oxidation Half equation is:
Zn(s) → Zn⁺²(aq) + 2e⁻
Reduction Half equation is:
2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂(g)
Answer: 1,013.32 cal × 4.18 J/cal = 4,235.68 J
Explanation:
1) Data:
Water ⇒ C = 1 cal/g°C
m = 65.8 g
Ti = 31.5°C
Tf = 36.9°C
Heat, Q = ?
2) Formula:
Q = mCΔT
3) Calculations:
Q = 65.8g × 1 cal/g°C × (46.9°C - 31.5°C) = 1,013.2 cal
4) You can convert from calories to Joules using the conversion factor:
1 cal = 4.18 J
⇒ 1,013.32 cal × 4.18 J/cal = 4,235.68 J
Answer:
when an atom, typically a metal, loses an electron or electrons, and becomes a positive ion, or cation. Another atom, typically a non-metal, is able to acquire the electron(s) to become a negative ion, or anion.
