Which statement is true about water molecules?

1 answer:

4 0

1. The correct option is A, THE OXYGEN ATOM HAS A NEGATIVE CHARGE. A water molecule is made up of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. The molecules of water are arranged in such a way that, the negative hydrogen atom is attracted to the positive hydrogen atom and the overall structure is bent. Because oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, oxygen atom draws the shared electrons toward itself , this gives the oxygen end of the molecule a partial negative charge and the hydrogen end, a partial positive charge.

2. The correct option is: WITHOUT THE PROPER BALANCE OF WATER, CHEMICAL REACTIONS WILL NOT TAKE PLACE. Metabolic chemical reactions take place in living cells all the time because water, which is a necessary condition for the reaction is in place. Th fluids find in the cells are mostly water; water creates suitable conditions for biochemical reactions to take place. Without water, the cells will not be able to carry out any chemical reaction.

3. The correct option is A. Hydrogen bond allows oxygen and water molecules to be bonded together. Hydrogen bonds are weak interactions that formed between the hydrogen with a patial positive end and oxygen with a patial negative end. The hydrogen bond in water is responsible for the unique properties associated with water.

What volume (in mL) of a 0.200 MHNO3 solution is required to completely react with 27.6 mL of a 0.100 MNa2CO3 solution according

ladessa [460]

Answer:

There is 27.6 mL of a 0.200 M HNO3 solution required

Explanation:

Step 1: The balanced equation is:

Na2CO3(aq)+2HNO3(aq)→2NaNO3(aq)+CO2(g)+H2O(l)

This means for 1 mole Na2CO3 consumed, there is consumed 2 mole of HNO3 and there is produced 2 moles of NaNO3, 1 mole of CO2 and 1 mole of H2O

Step 2: Calculating moles of Na2CO3

moles of Na2CO3 =volume of Na2CO3 * Molarity of Na2CO3

moles of Na2CO3 = 27.6 *10^-3 * 0.1 M = 0.00276 moles

Step 3: Calculating moles of HNO3

In the balanced equation, we can see that for 1 mole of Na2CO3 consumed, there are consumed 2 moles of HNO3.

So for 0.00276 moles consumed of Na2CO3, there are consumed 0.00552 moles of HNO3.

This means 0.00276 moles of the base Na2CO3 would react with 0.00552 moles of the acid HNO3

Step 4: Calculating the volume of HNO3

volume of HNO3 = moles of HNO3 / Molarity of HNO3

volume of HNO3 = 0.00552 moles / 0.200 M = 0.0276 L

0.0276 L = 27.6 ml

There is 27.6 mL of a 0.200 M HNO3 solution required

How many daltons is in an ion with 15 protons, 16 neutrons and 17 electrons?

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

31
A dalton is the same as an atomic mass unit. And an atomic mass unit is approximately the mass of a nucleon (proton or neutron) such that the mass is 1 g/mol. So in this problem you have 15 protons and 16 neutrons, so the number of daltons is 15 + 16 = 31.
