What is meant by polar molecule?

1 answer:

3 0

A polar molecule has a net dipole as a result of the opposing charges (i.e. having partial positive and partial negative charges) from polar bonds arranged asymmetrically. Water (H2O) is an example of a polar molecule since it has a slight positive charge on one side and a slight negative charge on the other.

Calculate the molarity of each solution. 28.33 g c6h12o6 in 1.28 l of solution

QveST [7]

Molarity is number of moles of solute in 1 L of solution
number of moles of glucose -28.33 g / 180 g/mol = 0.1574 mol
volume of solution is 1.28 L
since molarity is number of moles in 1 L
the number of moles in 1.28 L - 0.1574 mol
therefore number of moles in 1 L - 0.1574 mol / 1.28 L = 0.123 M
molarity is 0.123 M

In the reaction of chlorine with calcium, explain which atom is oxidized.

romanna [79]

Answer:

The atom is oxidized is Ca.

Explanation:

The oxidation-reduction reaction contains a reductant and an oxidant (oxidizing agent).

The oxidation process is the process in which electrons are lost and produce positively charged ions.

The reduction process is the process in which electrons is gained and negatively charge ions are produced.

In the reaction of chlorine with calcium:

Ca + Cl₂ → CaCl₂,

Ca loses 2 electrons and is oxidized to Ca²⁺. (Ca → Ca²⁺ + 2e).

Cl is gains 2 electrons in "Cl₂, oxidation state zero" and is reduced to Cl⁻. (Cl₂ + 2e → 2Cl⁻).

If 14 moles of Oxygen burn how many moles of water are created? *

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

A) 12 mol H2O.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the given reaction:

$2C_2H_6+7O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2 + 6 H_2O$

We notice that oxygen is in a 7:6 molar relationship with water, for that reason, the resulting moles of water turn out:

$n_{H_2O}=14molO_2*\frac{6molH_2O}{7molO_2} \\\\n_{H_2O}=12molH_2O$

Thus, the answer is A) 12 mol H2O.

Best regards.

Explain how dalton’s atomic theory offered a convincing explanation of the observation that mass is conserved in chemical reacti

podryga [215]

Dalton's atomic theory was based on the law of conservation of mass which states that the matter can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only transformed into one form or another. In a chemical reaction, total mass of the reactants will be equal to the total mass of the products.

Taking an example,

$methane+oxygen\rightarrow \text{carbon dioxide}+water$
