C-Cl bond is polar.


As Cl is more electronegative than C,  

Cl pulls the shared electrons towards its side making the C-Cl bond polar.


Polar meaning C gets a partial positive charge and Cl gets a partial negative charge. Thus C-Cl bond becomes polar.


CCl4 molecule is tetrahedral.

And its shape is symmetrical.


That means its similar on all corners or all planes and it can be cut into equal halves from any plane.


C-Cl bond is polar.But the C-Cl polairty gets cancelled out as its pulled equally from all sides.


Since the molecule is symmetrical CCl4 is non polar.

Answer

The particle theory is used to explain the properties of solids, liquids and gases. The strength of bonds (attractive forces) between particles is different in all three states.

Compounds A and B react to form compounds C and D according to the equation: aA + bB → cC + dD. Under which conditions will the
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer: A. The reaction takes place in one step.

Explanation:

Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.

Molecularity of the reaction is defined as the number of atoms, ions or molecules that must colloid with one another simultaneously so as to result into a chemical reaction.

Order of the reaction is defined as the sum of the concentration of terms on which the rate of the reaction actually depends. It is the sum of the exponents of the molar concentration in the rate law expression.

Elementary reactions are defined as the reactions for which the order of the reaction is same as its molecularity and order with respect to each reactant is equal to its stoichiometric coefficient as represented in the balanced chemical reaction.

aA=bB\rightarrow cC+dD

Rate=k[A]^a[B]^b

k= rate constant

a= order with respect to A

b = order with respect to B

What volume of 1.10 M SrCl2 is needed to prepare 525 mL of 5.00 mM SrCl2?
grigory [225]

Answer:- 2.39 mL are required.

Solution:- It's a dilution problem and to solve this type of problems we use the dilution equation:

M_1V_1=M_2V_2

Where, M_1 and M_2 are molarities of concentrated and diluted solutions and V_1 and V_2 are their respective volumes.

M_1 = 1.10M

M_2 = 5.00mM = 0.005M    (since, mM stands for milli molar and M stands for molar. 1M = 1000mM)

V_1 = ?

V_2 = 525 mL

Let's plug in the given values in the formula:

1.10M(V_1)=0.005M(525mL)

V_1=(\frac{0.005M*525mL}{1.10M})

V_1=2.39mL

So, 2.39 mL of 1.10M are needed to make 525 mL of 5.00mM solution.
