Water's unique properties, including its high heat capacity, high density, high boiling point and a solid phase that is less den

se than its liquid phase, can best be attributed to:______
A) Its formula, H2O.
B) The covalent oxygen-hydrogen bonds in the molecule.
C) The shape of the molecule.
D) The polarity of the molecule and hydrogen bonding between the molecules.

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

As the chemical formula of water is H_{2}O and due to the difference in electronegativity of hydrogen and oxygen atom there is formation of partial positive charge on hydrogen and partial negative charge on oxygen atom.

As a result, polarity arises on water molecule.

Also, there exists hydrogen bonding between molecules of water which is also responsible for providing unique properties to water.

Thus, we can conclude that water's unique properties, including its high heat capacity, high density, high boiling point and a solid phase that is less dense than its liquid phase, can best be attributed to the polarity of the molecule and hydrogen bonding between the molecules.

The mixture of rock particle sand humus is called the soil.
If soil contains greater proportion of big particles it is called sandy soil. If the proportion of fine particles is relatively higher, then it is called clayey soil. If the amount of large and fine particles is about the same, then the soil is called loamy.

Write the balanced chemical equation between H2SO4 and KOH in aqueous solution. This is called a neutralization reaction and wil
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

0.166M

Explanation:

In a neutralization, the acid, H₂SO₄, reacts with a base, KOH, to produce a salt, K₂SO₄ and water. The reaction is:

H₂SO₄ + 2KOH → K₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

To solve this problem, we need to determine moles of H2SO4 and moles of KOH that reacts to find the moles of sulfuric acid that remains after the reaction:

<em>Moles H2SO4:</em>

0.650L * (0.430mol /L) = 0.2795moles H2SO4

<em>Moles KOH:</em>

0.600L * (0.240mol / L) = 0.144 moles KOH

Moles of sulfuric acid that reacts with 0.144 moles of KOH are:

0.144 moles KOH * (1mol H2SO4 / 2 mol KOH) = 0.072 moles of H2SO4 react.

And remain:

0.2795moles H2SO4 - 0.072moles H2SO4 = 0.2075 moles of H2SO4 reamains.

In 0.650L + 0.600L = 1.25L:

Molar concentration of sulfuric acid:

0.2075 moles of H2SO4 / 1.25L =
