Answer/ explanation :

In CO2 molecule, the angle between O-C-O is 180, therefore, when the oxygen atom attracts the electron pair towards itself, then it becomes partially negative and the carbon atom becomes partially positive. The bonds in O=C=O are pointing opposite each other and the bond dipoles cancels each other thereby making it zero.

The dipole in O-H bonds cannot cancel out and that is why water has an overall molecular dipole of 1.85D.

CO2 is a linear molecule, so the dipoles are symmetrical. The dipoles are equal in both magnitude but are differ in point facing opposite directions.

Why does water float on corn syrup

NISA [10]

Answer:

density.

Explanation:

A cubic centimeter of water weighs 1 gram. Since a cubic centimeter of vegetable oil weighs less than 1 gram, oil will float on water. Corn syrup is more dense than water so 1 cubic centimeter of corn syrup weighs more than 1 gram. Therefore, corn syrup sinks in water.

Combustion of 9.511 grams of c4h10 will yield ____ grams of CO2

Flauer [41]

Answer:

$\boxed{28.81}$

Explanation:

We know we will need an equation with masses and molar masses, so let’s gather all the information in one place.

M_r: 58.12 44.01

2C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂ ⟶ 8CO₂ + 10H₂O

m/g: 9.511

1. Moles of C₄H₁₀

$\text{Moles of C$_{4}$H$_{10} $} = \text{ 9.511 g C$_{4}$H$_{10} $} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol C$_{4}$H$_{10} $}}{\text{ 58.12 g C$_{4}$H$_{10} $}} = \text{0.1636 mol C$_{4}$H$_{10}$}$

2. Moles of CO₂

The molar ratio is 8 mol CO₂:2 mol C₄H₁₀

$\text{Moles of CO}_{2} =\text{0.1636 mol C$_{4}$H$_{10} $} \times \dfrac{\text{8 mol CO}_{2}}{\text{2 mol C$_{4}$H$_{10}$}} = \text{0.6546 mol CO}_{2}$

3. Mass of CO₂

$\text{Mass of CO}_{2} = \text{0.6546 mol CO}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{44.01 g CO}_{2}}{\text{1 mol CO}_{2}} = \textbf{28.81 g CO}_{2}\\\\\text{The combustion will form $\boxed{\textbf{28.81 g CO}_{2}}$}$

Which Locations are likely to have subatomic particles with the GREATEST mass?

wlad13 [49]

2 and 3, because there are the protons and neutrons which have a greater mass than the electrons which are found in the locations 1 and 4.

Explanation:

The atom contains a nucleus, which is made from protons and neutrons, and electrons which are found around the nucleus.

The mass of the atoms is concentrated in the very tiny space represented by the nucleus. Of course the electrons have a mass too, but is very small compared to the protons and neutrons, and we usually neglect its mass.
