Water is a polar molecule because of its shape
Neporo4naja [7]3 years ago
6 0

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.

Consider an element Z that has two naturally occuring isotopes with the following percent abundances: the isotope with a mass nu
rodikova [14]

Answer:

Z=22.70

Explanation:

It is given that,

An element Z that has two naturally occurring isotopes with the following percent abundances as follows :

The isotope with a mass number 22 is 65.0% abundant; the isotope with a mass number 24 is 35.0% abundant.

The average atomic mass for element Z is given by :

Z=\dfrac{22\times 65+24\times 35}{100}\\\\Z=22.7

So, the average atomic mass for element Z is 22.70.

Why is the Lithium ion (Li+1) stable even though it does not have an octet?
Elan Coil [88]
I think Lithium, an alkali metal with three electrons, is also an exception to the octet rule. Lithium tends to lose one electron to take on the electron configuration of the nearest noble gas, helium, leaving it with two valence electrons. There are two ways in which atoms can satisfy the octet rule

When 150. g zinc sulfide are burned in excess oxygen, 68.5 g of zinc oxide are actually produced, along with sulfur dioxide. Det
Bumek [7]

%yield = 54.6%

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Percent yield is the compare of the amount of product obtained from a reaction with the amount you calculated

(theoretical)

General formula:

Percent yield = (Actual yield / theoretical yield )x 100%

<h3 />

Reaction

2ZnS+3O₂ ⇒ 2ZnO+2SO₂

MW ZnS = 97.474 g/mol

  • mol ZnS

\tt \dfrac{150}{97.474}=1.54

MW ZnO = 81.38 g/mol

  • mol ZnO (from mol ZnS as limiting reactant, O₂ excess)

\tt \dfrac{2}{2}\times 1.54=1.54

  • Actual ZnO produced

\tt 1.54\times 81.38=125.33~g

Theoretical production = 125.388

  • %yield

\tt \dfrac{68.5}{125.33}\times 100\%=\boxed{\bold{54.6\%}}
