H2O consists of polar molecules. CO2 consists of nonpolar molecules. How do chemists explain this difference?

2 answers:

8 0

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.

An intravenous (IV) system is supplying saline solution to a patient at the rate of 0.06 cm3/s through a needle of radius 0.2 mm

horsena [70]

Answer:

Pressure applied to the needle is 7528 Pa

Explanation:

As we know by poiseuille's law of flow of liquid through a cylindrical pipe

the rate of flow through the pipe is given as

$Q = \frac{\Delta P \pi r^4}{8\eta L}$

now we know that

$Q = 0.06 \times 10^{-6} m^3/s$

radius = 0.2 mm

Length = 6.32 cm

$\eta = 1\times 10^{-3} Pa s$

now we have

$6 \times 10^{-8} = \frac{\Delta P \pi (0.2 \times 10^{-3})^4}{8(1 \times 10^{-3})6.32 \times 10^{-2}}$

$3.03 \times 10^{-11} = \Delta P 5.02 \times 10^{-15}$

$\Delta P = 6028 Pa$

now we have

$P - 1500 = 6028 Pa$

$P = 7528 Pa$

An airplane starts from rest and accelerates at 10.8 m/s2 . what is its speed at the end of a 400 m long runway?

Cloud [144]

The final speed of an airplane is v = 92.95 m/s

The rate of change of position of an object in any direction is known as speed i.e. in other word, Speed is measured as the ratio of distance to the time in which the distance was covered.

Solution-

Here given,

Acceleration a= 10.8 m/s2 .

Displacement (s)= 400m

Then to find final speed of airplane v=?

Therefore from equation of motion can be written as,

v²=u²+ 2as

where, u is initial speed, v is final speed ,a is acceleration and s is displacement of the airplane. Therefore by putting the value of a & s in above equation and (u =0) i.e. the initial speed of airplane is zero.

v²= 2×10.8 m/s²×400m

v²=8640m/s

v=92.95m/s

hence the final speed of airplane v =92.95m/s

In 0.60 seconds, a projectile goes from 0 to 610 m/s. What is the acceleration of the projectile?

IceJOKER [234]

Answer: $a=1016.66 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

Acceleration $a$ is expressed in the following formula:

$a=\frac{V_{f}-V_{o}}{t}$

Where:

$V_{f}=610 m/s$ is the final velocity of the projectile

$V_{o}=0 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the projectile

$t=0.6 s$ is the time

Solving:

$a=\frac{610 m/s-0 m/s}{0.6 s}$

$a=1016.66 m/s^{2}$ This is the acceleration of the projectile

The dimensions for force are the product of mass and length divided by time squared. Newton's second law states that force equal

maw [93]

Answer:

L/T^2.

Explanation:

Dimensional analysis is defined as the analysis of the relationships between different physical quantities by identifying their base quantities (such as length, mass, time, temperature etc.) and units of measure (such as miles vs. kilometers, pounds vs. kilograms etc.).

F = m * a

kg(m/s^2) = kg * a

In dimensions,

a = L/T^2.
