A water molecule is composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom arranged in a bent shape. Since oxygen is significantly m

ore electronegative than hydrogen, oxygen atoms have a much stronger attraction to shared electrons than does hydrogen. This unequal sharing of electrons and bent shape results in water being called a _________________ .

Answer: A)  polar molecule  

Explanation: Polar molecules are molecules which contain atoms of different electronegativities.

Non polar molecules are molecules which contains atoms of same electronegativities.

Water is a polar covalent molecule formed by unequal sharing of electrons. Oxygen being more electronegative tend to keep the electron pair towards itself thus generating a partial negative charge. The hydrogen acquire a partial positive charge thus resulting in a polar molecule.

The bent shape is due to repulsion between lone pairs and bond pairs of electrons.

Consider two equal-volume flasks of gas at the same temperature and pressure. One gas, oxygen, has a molecular mass of 32. The o
san4es73 [151]

Answer: The ratio of the number of oxygen molecules to the number of nitrogen molecules in these flasks is 1: 1

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, equal volumes of all gases at same temperature and pressure have equal number of moles.

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

Thus as oxygen and nitrogen are at same temperature and pressure and are in equal volume flasks , they have same number of moles and thus have same number of molecules.

The ratio of the number of oxygen molecules to the number of nitrogen molecules in these flasks is 1: 1

In the second step of this reaction, isocyanic acid reacts to form melamine and carbon dioxide: hnco(l)→c3n3(nh2)3(l)+co2(g) bal
slava [35]

Formula of isocyanic acid is HNCO. It colourless, volatile compound. It is poisonous inorganic compound. Melamine is synthesized from urea. The reaction involves two steps. In first step, urea gets converted to isocyanic acid  which is an intermediate. In the second step, isocyanic acid gives melamine (molecular formula C₃H₆N₆) and carbon dioxide (CO₂). The balanced chemical reaction involved in second step is given below:

6 HNCO → 1 C₃N₃(NH₂)₃ + 3CO₂

The co-efficient of the reaction are: 6, 1, 3
