Why is methane, CH4, a nonpolar compound?

The molecule methane has four Carbon-Hydrogen single covalent bonds. These covalent bonds are called nonpolar covalent bonds because. The consequence of this equal sharing of electrons is that there is no charge separation (dipole moment).

Each covalent H bond is nonpolar.

There is a mixture of three gases. We know the total pressure is 2.50 atmosphere and the pressure of the oxygen and the nitrogen

Viktor [21]

Answer:

1.14 atm and 1.139 mol

Explanation:

The <em>total pressure</em> of the container is equal to the <u>sum of the partial pressure of the three gasses</u>:

P = Poxygen + Pnitrogen + Pcarbon dioxide

2.50 atm = 0.52 + 0.84 + Pcarbon dioxide

Now we <u>solve for the pressure of carbon dioxide</u>:

Pcarbon dioxide = 1.14 atm

To c<u>alculate the number of CO₂ moles </u>we use <em>PV=nRT</em>:

P = 1.14 atm

V = 25.0 L

n = ?

R = 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹

T = 32 °C ⇒ 32 + 273.16 = 305.16 K

1.14 atm * 25.0 L = n * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 305.16 K

n = 1.139 mol

Which of the following [H+] values describes the most basic (alkaline) solution?

Aleks04 [339]

The H+ concentration that would best describe a basic solution would be the one having values less than 10^-7. The pH of a solution is related to H+ concentration by pH = -log[H+]. Therefore, as the concentration of H+ decreases the alkalinity would rise.
