Chemistry

SpyIntel [72]3 years ago

Explanation:

It is known that an atom consists of protons, neutrons and electrons. Both protons and neutrons are located inside the nucleus of an atom whereas electrons revolve around the nucleus.

Atomic number is the total number of protons present in an atom. On the other hand, atomic mass is the sum of total number of protons and neutrons present in an atom.

That is,     Atomic mass = no. of protons + no. of neutrons

                 no. of neutrons = atomic mass - no. of protons

Therefore, we can conclude that to find the number of neutrons in an atom, subtract its number of protons from atomic mass.

Which statement justifies that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a polar molecule?
Rudik [331]
To determine whether a compound is polar or nonpolar you have to take into account:

1) formation of dipoles due to the difference in electronegativities of the atoms

2) shape of the molecule to conclude whether there is a net dipole momentum.

You already, likely, know that the electronegativities of H and O are significatively different, being O more electronegative thatn H. So, you can conclude easilty that the electrons are atracted more by O than by H, thus creating two dipoles H→O

Regarding the shape, it may appear that the molecule is symmetrical, which would lead to the cancellation of the two dipoles. But that is not the true. The H2O2 is not symmetrical.

The lewis structure just show this shape

      **   **
H - O - O - H
      **   **

which is what may induce to think that the molecule is symmetrical, leading to the misconception that it is nonpolar.

But in a three dimensional arrangement you could see that the hydrogens are placed in non symmetrical positions, which leads to the formation of a net dipole momentum, and thus to a polar molecule.

The fact that H2O2 is a polar compound is the reason why it can be mixed with water and the H2O2 that you buy in the pharmacy is normally a solution in water.

So, the hydrogen peroxide is polar because the hydrogens are not placed symmetrically in the molecule, which result in a net dipole momentum.

What is the temperature of 0.5 moles of water vapor that occupies 120 dm3 and applies a pressure of 15,000 Pa to its container?
MArishka [77]
Use the ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

so, T = PV / nR

n=0.5
V= 120 dm^3 = 120 L  (1 dm^3 = 1 L)
R = 1/12
P = 15,000 Pa =  0.147 atm     (1 pa = 9.86 10^{-6} )

Put the values:

T = PV / nR
T = (0.147) (120) / (0.5) (1/12)
T= 426 K
