Answer:

Each hydrogen atom is bonded to the oxygen atom with a single bond.

The oxygen atom has two lone pairs.

The molecule is bent.

Oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen.

Each O-H bond is polar.

The molecule is asymmetrical.

The asymmetry and the polar bonds produce an overall molecular dipole.

The oxygen atom has a partial negative charge, and the hydrogen atoms have a partial positive charge.

What is the concept of galactic recycling?

frozen [14]

Galactic recycling is a natural phenomenon in which the stars expel some gas into the space so that it would mix with the interstellar medium. As a result, this would produce new younger stars. So, basically, the concept done here is the mass and energy conservation. In order to create new species, the energy must come from another source.

Consider the reaction below.

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

<u>First choice: 0.042</u>

Explanation:

Given decomposition reaction:

1PCl₅ (g) ⇄ 1PCl₃ + 1Cl₂(g)

Equilibrium constant:

$K_{eq}=\frac{[PCl_3]^1[Cl_2]^1}{[PCl_5]^1}$

Stoichiometric coefficients and powers equal to 1 are not usually shown as they are understood, but I included them in order to shwow you how they intervene in the equilibrium expressions: each concentration is raised to a power equal to the respective stoichiometric coefficient in the equilibrium equation.

So, your calculations are:

$K_{eq}=\frac{(0.020M)(0.020M)}{0.0095M}=0.042M$
