As you go down a group the atomic radius increases and so does the number of electron shells added to an atom.

What causes water molecules to be attracted to each other?
Fiesta28 [93]
This polarity makes water molecules attracted to each other. The oxygen-hydrogen bond in the alcohol molecule is also polar. But, the carbon hydrogen bonds in the rest of the alcohol molecule are nonpolar. In these bonds, the electrons are shared more or less evenly.

How can one kg of iron melt more ice than 1 kg lead at 100 °C
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Due to the specific heat capacity of iron, 0.444 J/(g·°C), is more than the specific heat capacity for lead, 0.160 J/(g·°C)

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The metals provided to melt the ice and their temperature includes;

One kg (1000 g) of iron;

Specific heat capacity = 0.444 J/(g·°C)

Temperature = 100°C

1 kg (1000 g) of lead

Specific heat capacity = 0.160 J/(g·°C)

Temperature = 100°C

Therefore, the heat provided to the ice of mass m, and latent heat of 334 J/g at 0°C by the metals are as follows;

For iron, we have;

ΔQ = Mass × Specific heat capacity × Temperature change

ΔQ_{iron} = Heat obtained from the iron by the ice

ΔQ_{iron} = 0.444 m × 1000 × (100 - 0) = 44400 J

Heat absorbed by the ice for melting, H_l = Heat obtained from the iron

∴ Heat absorbed by the ice for melting, H_l = Mass of ice × Latent heat of ice

H_l = Mass of ice × 334 J/g = 44400 J

Mass of ice melted by the iron = 44400 J/334 (J/g) ≈ 132.9 g

Mass of ice melted by the iron ≈ 132.9 g

For lead, we have;

ΔQ = Mass × Specific heat capacity × Temperature change

ΔQ_{lead} = Heat obtained from the iron by the ice

ΔQ_{lead} = 0.160 m × 1000 × (100 - 0) = 16000 J

Heat absorbed by the ice for melting, H_l = Heat obtained from the iron

∴ Heat absorbed by the ice for melting, H_l = Mass of ice × Latent heat of ice

H_l = Mass of ice × 334 J/g = 16000 J

Mass of ice melted by the lead = 16000 J/334 (J/g) ≈ 47.9 g

Mass of ice melted by the lead ≈ 47.9 g

Therefore, mass of  ice melted by the iron, approximately 132.9 g, is more than mass of ice melted by the lead, approximately 47.9 g.

If 10.7 grams of NH4Cl is dissolved in enough water to make 800 mL of solution,what will be it's molarity
olga nikolaevna [1]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Molarity = 0.25 M

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Molarity is given by moles/Liter.

First we find moles:

Number of moles = Mass /molar mass

= (10.7g NH4Cl)/(53.5g/mol NH4Cl)

= 0.200 moles NH4Cl  

Then  we convert to liters:

= (800mL)*(1L/1000mL) = 0.800L  

Therefore; molarity = 0.2moles/0.8L

                                = 0.25M

The dissociation of sulfurous acid (H2SO3) in aqueous solution occurs as follows:
aksik [14]

Answer:

The [SO₃²⁻]

Explanation:

From the first dissociation of sulfurous acid we have:

                         H₂SO₃(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + HSO₃⁻(aq)

At equilibrium:  0.50M - x          x            x

The equilibrium constant (Ka₁) is:

K_{a1} = \frac{[H^{+}] [HSO_{3}^{-}]}{[H_{2}SO_{3}]} = \frac{x\cdot x}{0.5 - x} = \frac {x^{2}}{0.5 -x}

With Ka₁= 1.5x10⁻² and solving the quadratic equation, we get the following HSO₃⁻ and H⁺ concentrations:

[HSO_{3}^{-}] = [H^{+}] = 7.94 \cdot 10^{-2}M

Similarly, from the second dissociation of sulfurous acid we have:

                              HSO₃⁻(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + SO₃²⁻(aq)

At equilibrium:  7.94x10⁻²M - x          x            x

The equilibrium constant (Ka₂) is:  

K_{a2} = \frac{[H^{+}] [SO_{3}^{2-}]}{[HSO_{3}^{-}]} = \frac{x^{2}}{7.94 \cdot 10^{-2} - x}  

Using Ka₂= 6.3x10⁻⁸ and solving the quadratic equation, we get the following SO₃⁻ and H⁺ concentrations:

[SO_{3}^{2-}] = [H^{+}] = 7.07 \cdot 10^{-5}M

Therefore, the final concentrations are:

[H₂SO₃] = 0.5M - 7.94x10⁻²M = 0.42M

[HSO₃⁻] = 7.94x10⁻²M - 7.07x10⁻⁵M = 7.93x10⁻²M

[SO₃²⁻] = 7.07x10⁻⁵M

[H⁺] = 7.94x10⁻²M + 7.07x10⁻⁵M = 7.95x10⁻²M

So, the lowest concentration at equilibrium is [SO₃²⁻] = 7.07x10⁻⁵M.

I hope it helps you!

Arranges the following molecules in order of increasing dipole moment: <br> H2O, H2S, H2Te, H2Se.
erastova [34]

Explanation:

Dipole moment is defined as the measurement of the separation of two opposite electrical charges.

H_{2}O is a bent shaped molecule with a dipole moment of 1.87.

H_{2}S is also a bent shaped molecule with a dipole moment of 1.10.

H_{2}Te is a also a bent shaped molecule and has a negligible dipole moment.

H_{2}Se has a dipole moment of 0.29.

Therefore, given molecules are arranged according to their increasing dipole moment as follows.

        H_{2}Te < H_{2}Se < H_{2}S < H_{2}O
