Solnce55 [7]3 years ago

Answer:

a) The molecule is always polar.

Explanation:

The molecule is always polar because of two reasons:

  • all the bonds are polar due to the difference in electronegativity between carbon and hydrogen & carbon and chlorine.

                                              AND IMPORTANTLY

  • The molecule is asymmetrical meaning that the dipoles cannot cancel each other out (like they do in methane or carbon dioxide for example) so the net effect is a polar molecule.

Solid sodium reacts violently with water, producing heat, hydrogen gas, and sodium hydroxide. How many molecules of hydrogen gas
Zinaida [17]

Answer: Number of molecules of hydrogen gas 6.32\times 10^{32}

Explanation:

2Na+2H_2O\rightarrow 2NaOH+H_2

Number of moles of sodium =\frac{\text{mass of sodium}}{\text{molar mass of sodium}}=\frac{48.7 g}{23 g/mol}=2.11mol

According to reaction , 2 moles of sodium produces 1 mole of hydrogen gas , then 2.11 mol of sodium will= \frac{1}{2}\times 2.11 mol of hydrogen gas that is 1.05 moles of hydrogen gas.

Number of molecules = N_A(\text{Avogadro number})\times moles of substance

Moles of hydrogen gas formed = 1.05 moles

Number of molecules of hydrogen gas = N_A\times moles of hydrogen gas

Number of molecules of hydrogen gas =6.022\times 10^{23} mole^{-1}\times 1.05 mole=6.32\times 10^{32}

Someone please explain how this works Which type of reaction occurs in the core of a nuclear reactor in a nuclear power plant?
Paul [167]

An example of a reaction that occurs within the core of a nuclear reactor is the nuclear fission reaction given:

  • ²³⁵₉₂U + ¹₀n ---> ⁹⁰₃₈Sr + ¹⁴³₅₄ + 3 ¹₀n

<h3>What is a nuclear reactor?</h3>

A nuclear reactor is a device which produces electrical energy as a result of the nuclear reactions that take place within it.

In a nuclear reactor, the reaction that takes place within the core is a nuclear fission chain reaction.

In a nuclear fission reaction, the nucleus of larger atoms are split into the nucleus of smaller atoms when fast moving neutrons are used to bombard the nucleus of the large atom. The fission of the nucleus of the large atom results in the formation of atoms of lighter nucleus as well as more protons which then bombard more nucleus of the large atoms resulting in a chain reaction.

The chain reaction occurring within the nuclear reactor core is controlled by the insertion of boron rods which absorbs the excess neutrons produced.

An example of a reaction that occurs within the core of a nuclear reactor is given below:

²³⁵₉₂U + ¹₀n ---> ⁹⁰₃₈Sr + ¹⁴³₅₄ + 3 ¹₀n

In some places timber companies remove all the trees from entire hillside when they are harvesting logs and farmers till the soi
laila [671]

Answer:

The timber companies removing all the trees from entire hillside when they are harvesting logs is a practice that could cause the following when it is time to plant in spring:

1. It could affect the quality of plant needed nutrients in the soil and beneficial microorganism population in the soil which could impact negatively the planting season.

2. Trees serves as protection of soil nutrients against wind erosions, so the soil nutrients would be affected.

The farmers tilling the soil means preparing the soil for a farming season as the following effect:

1. Helps control weed for the planting season.

2. This practice could further encourage soil erosion if not done well.

3. Tilling the soil could make leftover plants from the felling of trees mix well with the soil and also add nutrients to the soil when they decay.
