C. Oxygen has a different attraction for electrons in H2O than in CO2

the covalent bond between Hydrogen-Oxygen and Carbon-Oxygen is different because the difference of electronegativity (the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself) between Hydrogen and Oxygen is a lot higher than the difference of electronegativity between Carbon and Oxygen. This difference in electronegativity results in separation of partial electric charge creating polar bonds and giving the molecule a polarity.

Answer:

These compounds have different shapes.

Explanation:

Two things determine whether a molecule is polar or no polar. The size and shape of the molecule.

A six pack of your favorite beverage (12 fl. oz. cans, assumed to have the same characteristics as water) is placed in a cooler
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Q = 169 BTU

Explanation:

As we know that volume is given as

V = 12 Fl oz

so it is given in liter as

V = 12 fl oz = 0.355 Ltr

now we have six pack of such volume

so total volume is given as

V = 6\times 0.355 Ltr

V = 2.13 ltr

so its mass is given as

m = 2.13 kg

now the change in temperature is given as

\Delta T = 70 - 34 = 36 ^oF

\Delta T = 20^oC

now the heat given to the liquid is given as

Q = ms\Delta T

Q = 2.13(4186)(20)

Q = 1.78 \times 10^5 J

Q = 169 BTU

Similarities and differences between<br> distance Time graph and velocity time<br> graph?
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Similarity: >>Time is independent variable and such is on the x-axis. ... >>Distance time graph tells you how much distance you have travelled, while velocity time graph tells you your acceleration.  The difference between them is that the velocity-time graph reveals the speed of an object (and whether it is slowing down or speeding up), while the position-time graph describes the motion of an object over a period of time.

What is the escape speed of an electron launched from the surface of a 1.1-cm-diameter glass sphere that has been charged to 8.0
zimovet [89]
At surface,
v = kq/r

And potential energy of an electron is given by,
PE = -ev = -ekq/r

At escape velocity,
PE + KE = 0.
Therefore,
1/2mv^2 - ekq/r =0
1/2mv^2 = ekq/r
v = Sqrt [2ekq/mr], where v = escape velocity, e = 1.6*10^-19 C, k = 8.99*10^9 Nm^2/C^2, m = 9.11*10^-31 kg, r = 1.1*10^-2 m, q = 8*10^-9 C

Substituting;
v = Sqrt [(2*1.6*19^-19*8.99*10^9*8*10^-9)/(9.11*10^-31*1.1*10^-2)] = 47949357.23 m/s ≈ 4.795 *10^7 m/s

Decide whether the attribute describes Earth, Venus, or both Earth and Venus.
masha68 [24]

1). both

2). Venus

3). Venus catastrophically; Earth too but much less.

4). Earth

5). Earth

6). Venus (It would be pretty hard for US to mistake Earth for a star.)
