Can we use electrical equipment near water? Explain Why?

Chemistry
1 answer:
tiny-mole [99]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

You may, but it is too risky.

Even though you are being cautious around using electric equipment around water, you'll never know what can happen. You might accidentally drop that piece of electrical equipment you are using into the water. Water can be splashed around by someone or something without you noticing it and it may affect the object you are using. Sometimes, if water comes in contact with an electrical object, it may cause you electric shocks or the equipment you are using has a chance of exploding and may hurt you. You can guarantee that waterproof electrical equipment is safe to use, but it is better not to risk it too much.

To determine the electronegativity for each bond you need to calculate the difference of electronegativity of the atoms forming the bond.  

If the difference is equal or greater than 1.7 you have an ionic bond.

If the difference is between 0.4 and 1.6  you have a polar covalent bond.

If the difference is between 0 and less than 0.4 you have a nonpolar covalent bond.  

1) In NH₃ there is a nitrogen - hydrogen bond.  

electronegativity of nitrogen - electronegativity of hydrogen =

3 - 2.2 = 0.8 → polar covalent bond

2) In N₂ there is a nitrogen-nitrogen bond.

electronegativity of nitrogen - electronegativity of nitrogen =

3 - 3 = 0 → nonpolar covalent bond

3) In H₂O there is an oxygen - hydrogen bond.  

electronegativity of oxygen - electronegativity of hydrogen =

3.5 - 2.2 = 1.3 → polar covalent bond

4) In PCl₃ there is a chlorine - phosphorus bond.  

electronegativity of chlorine - electronegativity of phosphorus = 3 - 2.1 = 0.9 → polar covalent bond

4) In HBr there is a bromine - hydrogen bond.  

electronegativity of bromine - electronegativity of hydrogen = 2.8 - 2.2 = 0.6 → polar covalent bond

5) In MgCl₂ there is a chlorine - magnesium bond.  

electronegativity of chlorine - electronegativity of magnesium = 3 - 1.2 = 1.8 → ionic bond

6) In F₂ there is a fluorine - fluorine  bond.  

electronegativity of fluorine - electronegativity of fluorine =

4 - 4 = 0 → nonpolar covalent bond

7) In CO₂ there is an oxygen - carbon bond.  

electronegativity of oxygen- electronegativity of carbon =

3.5 - 2.5 = 1 → polar covalent bond

8) In LiCl there is a chlorine - lithium bond.  

electronegativity of chlorine - electronegativity of lithium =

3 - 1 = 2 → ionic bond

9) In Na₂O there is an oxygen - sodium bond.

electronegativity of oxygen - electronegativity of sodium =

3.5 - 0.9 = 2.6 → ionic bond

10)  In CCl₄ there is a chlorine - carbon bond.  

electronegativity of chlorine - electronegativity of carbon =

3 - 2.5 = 0.5 → polar covalent bond

Minerals are very useful to us. Which of the following is a false statement? Question options: Pyrite is an ore of gold and is u
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

The false statement is :

  • Pyrite is an ore of gold and is used in jewelry making.
  • Cobalt is not used in medicine.

Explanation:

Pyrite is an ore of iron sulfide found on the Earth and in coal, limestone and in many deposits of metallic ores. Due to its luster and pale yellowish color it appears as gold due to which it is also termed as Fool's gold.

It is used in firearms , in production of sulfur dioxide gas, etc.

Cobalt is used as medicine to treat cancer patient. Co-60 is used in treatment of cancer in which gamma rays produced by Co-60 are used  to kill tumor cells in a cancer patient.

Where as talc is used in industries like : paper making, food, paints, plastics etc. Quartz is primary material used to prepare glass and cobalt is used as

What does a mole of iron weigh
r-ruslan [8.4K]

As the atomic mass of iron is 55.847u

We say that it is the mass of one mole of iron.

By formula it can be find by

No.of mole=mass in g/molar mass

Mass in gram = no.of mole x molar mass

No.of mole =1

Molar mass = 55.847g

Mass in gram = 1x55.847

= 55.847g of Fe
