Why the dipole moment of Co2 is zero and that of H2O is 1.85D?

Chemistry
1 answer:
valentina_108 [34]2 years ago
6 0

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.

Answer:

7.65 moles of silver are produced

Explanation:

Zinc, Zn, reacts with silver nitrate, AgNO3, as follows:

Zn + 2AgNO3 → Zn(NO3)2 + 2Ag

<em>Where 1 mole of Zn reacts with an excess of AgNO3 to produce 2 moles of Ag</em>

To solve this question we must convert the mass of Zn to moles and, using the chemical equation, we can find the moles of Ag as follows:

<em>Moles Zn (Molar mass: 65.38g/mol):</em>

250g Zn * (1mol / 65.38g) = 3.824 moles Zn

<em>Moles Ag:</em>

3.824 moles Zn * (2mol Ag / 1mol Zn) =

Sati [7]
Hypothesis is a smart guess that you make on the result of your experiment. You make this even before doing the experiment through inferential analysis. If the hypothesis you made was that, cotton will grow larger balls, then in the experiment, you should measure the cotton boll's size. The size should be in terms of diameter. So, the answer is b.

When an atom of calcium (Ca) forms an ion by losing two electrons, what is the ion’s type and charge?
Svetllana [295]

Answer: it would be cation, 2+

Explanation: electrons are negatively charged by 1. So if you get rid of 2 electrons it would be positive and cation is used to represent positive ions.
