Answer: if it was planar the center of the negative forces and the center of the positive forces would be at the same place, meaning no di-poles would form so it wouldnt be polar. as it is polar it therefore cannot be planar. the neagative center(pole) is above the the positive one due to the pair of unbonded electrons.

Which balanced equation represents a chemical change?

GarryVolchara [31]

Okay, so what you first do with this type of question is think about what a chemical change is. A chemical change is a change that can not be reversed. A physical change is something that can be reversed or done using temperature. e.x. Water freezing into ice is a physical change, where as combining vinegar and baking soda together releases a gas, which is chemical, or iron rusting in the presence of oxygen. Which one of these equations has one chemical molecule set that produces a different set?

When 32.5g of carbon is heated with silicone dioxide, 28.8 g of carbon monoxide is produced. What is the percent yield of carbon

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

Percent yield of carbon monoxide is approximately 38%.

Explanation:

Given reaction : C + SiO₂ → Si + CO

On balancing it : 2C + SiO₂ → Si + 2CO

⇒ 2 mole of carbon produces 2 mole of carbon monoxide

or 2×12=24 g of carbon produces 2×(12+16)=56 g of carbon monoxide

⇒ Expected yield of carbon monoxide when 32.5g of carbon is heated with silicon dioxide is 32.5× $\frac{56}{24}$
