Which way would CCI2F2 orient in an electric field?

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

In looking at molecules to determine whether they are polar or not we have to look at two things basically;

i) presence of polar bonds

ii) geometry of the molecule

Now, we know that CCI2F2 is a tetrahedral molecule, but the molecule is not symmetrical. It has four polar bonds that are not all the same hence the molecule is polar.

In an electric field, polar molecules orient themselves in such a way that the positive ends of the molecule are being attracted to the negative plate while the negative ends of the molecules are attracted to the positive plate.

So the positive ends of CCI2F2 are oriented towards the negative plate of the field while the negative ends of CCI2F2 are oriented towards the positive ends of the field.

Balance the following oxidation-reduction reactions, which take place in acidic solution, by using the "half-reaction" method.

LuckyWell [14K]

First identify which is being oxidized and reduced. In this case, the Mg is being oxidized and the Hg is being reduced.

Mg --> Mg+2

<span>Hg+2 --> Hg+1
</span>
Then you have to balance each half reaction first with electrons before adding them together in one equation

$Mg$ ⇒ $Mg^{+2} + 2e^{-1}$

and

$2Hg^{+2} + 2e^{-1}$ ⇒ $Hg_{2} ^{+2}$

and then combine them together to form

$Mg + 2 Hg^{+2} + 2e$ ⇒ $Mg^{+2} + 2e ^{-} + 2 Hg^{+1} + 2 e^{-}$

It isn't necessary to keep the electrons but its essential to know how many there are in order to know how many are in the equation in order to calculate the reaction energy. Note: A<span>dd H+ and H2O to balance the H's and O's in acidic solution if needed.</span>

How much is a mole in chemistry? Like the mathematical term.

Svetach [21]

Well on a side note, a mole in chemistry is also the same as a Liter. A mole however, is the mass of an element,or compound. 1 mol of O would be 15.9994 grams/mol. It can also be represented as 6.022*10 to the 23 power. (1 mol of Carbon-12 atoms)

Why does salad become soggy and wilted when the dressing has been on it for a while? Explain why, in terms of osmosis. PLS HELP

musickatia [10]

This means the water from the leaves goes into the dressing, causing the leaves to appear wilted.
