Why is the brcl molecules polar??

Chemistry
2 answers:
Dahasolnce [82]3 years ago
6 0

The electronegativity value of Br and Cl is 2.8 and 3.0 respectively.  

The electrinegativity difference in the Br-Cl bond is 3.0 – 2.8 = 0.2

If the electronegativity difference is below 0.5 the covalent bind is nonpolar

If the electronegativity difference is between 0.5 and 2.0 the covalent bond is polar.

If the electronegativity difference is above 2.0 the bond is ionic  

As the electronegativity difference is below 0.5 the Br-Cl covalent bond is nonpolar

<span>Because there is a permanent dipole between the Br and Cl atom. The Cl atom has a higher electronegativity, so it will tend to pull the "shared" electrons formed in the bond to its pole, creating a permanent dipole and partial electron deficiency on the bromine atom.</span>

The answer is : C. reduce their input force
they put wax on their kayak to make their boat cut smoothly through the water, which make it able to obtain further distance with less input force, which will increase it's overall speed

what is the molecular formula for a compound with the empirical formula: K2SO4 and a molecular mass of 696g​
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

K8S4O16 or K8(SO4)4 depending on if the SO4 is supposed to represent sulfate or not

Explanation:

Find the molar mass of K2SO4 first:

2K + S + 4O ≈ 174 g/mol

Divide the goal molar mass of 696 by the molar mass of the empirical formula:

696 / 174 = 4

This means you need to multiply everything in the empirical formula by 4:

K2SO4 --> K8S4O16 or K8(SO4)4 depending on if the SO4 is for sulfate or not

A solution that is 0.20 m in hcho2 and 0.15 m in nacho2 find ph
Mashutka [201]
We are given
0.2 M HCHO2 which is formic acid, a weak acid
and
0.15 M NaCHO2 which is a salt which can be formed by reacting HCHO2 and NaOH

The mixture of the two results to a basic buffer solution
To get the pH of a base buffer, we use the formula
pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - (pKa - log [salt]/[base])

We need the pKa of HCO2
From, literature, pKa = 1.77 x 10^-4
Substituting into the equation
pH = 14 - (1.77 x 10^-4 - log 0.15/0.2)
pH = 13.87

So, the pH of the buffer solution is 13.87
A pH of greater than 7 indicates that the solution is basic and a pH close to 14 indicates high alkalinity. This is due to the buffering effect of the salt on the base.

What is the new pressure if the temperature outside is 296k and his weight causes the tire's volume to drop to 2.0 liters
sukhopar [10]

Question:

At standard temperature and pressure, the volume of a tire is 3.5L. What is the new pressure if the temperature outside is 296k and its weight causes the volume of the gas is 2.0 L?

Answer:

The new pressure is: 1.896 atm

Explanation:

At standard temperature and pressure, we have:

P_1 = 1atm

T_1 = 273.15k

V_1 = 3.5L

Outside, we have:

T_2 = 296k

V_2 = 2.0L

Required

Determine the new pressure

Using combined gas law, we have:

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} =\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

This gives:

\frac{1 * 3.5}{273.15} =\frac{P_2*2.0}{296}

Solve for P_2

P_2 = \frac{296 * 1 * 3.5}{273.15*2.0}

P_2 = \frac{1036}{546.30}

P_2 \approx 1.896 atm
