The correct answer is this: WATER MOLECULES HAVE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE SIDES.

Water is a polar liquid, this means that, the oxygen and the hydrogen atoms in water molecules has partial charges, the oxygen atom is partially negatively charged while the hydrogen atom is partially positively charged. This arrangement makes it possible for water molecule to be attracted to different types of other molecules, thus it is easy for water to dissolve these substances. Water is described as a universal solvent because of its ability to dissolve a wide variety of substances.

Because they have positive and negative sides, the oxygen and hydrogen atoms have a polar arrangement.

A closed container holds 2.0 moles of CO2 gas at STP. How many moles of oxygen can be placed in a container of the same size at

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer: 2 moles

Explanation:

STP is Standard Temperature and Pressure. That means the pressure is 1.00 atm and the temperature is 273K. Since the oxygen is placed in the same container, we can use Ideal Gas Law to figure out what container the CO₂ used.

Ideal Gas Law: PV=nRT

P=1.00 atm

n=moles

R=0.08206 Latm/Kmol

T=273K

CO₂

$V=\frac{nRT}{P}$

$V=\frac{(2.0 mol)(0.08206Latm/Kmol)(273K)}{1.00atm}$

$V=44.8L$

Since we know that CO₂ has a 44.8 L container, we can use that to find the moles of oxygen.

$n=\frac{PV}{RT}$

$n=\frac{(1.00atm)(44.8L)}{(0.08206Latm/Kmol)(273K)}$

$n=1.99=2mol$

There are 2 mol of oxygen.

Answer:

C₃H₄O₄

Explanation:

In order to get the empirical formula of a compound, we have to follow a series of steps.

Step 1: Divide the percent by mass of each element by its atomic mass.

C: 34.6/12.01 = 2.88

H: 3.9/1.01 = 3.86

O: 61.5/16.00 = 3.84

Step 2: Divide all the numbers by the smallest one, i.e., 2.88

C: 2.88/2.88 = 1

H: 3.86/2.88 ≈ 1.34

O: 3.84/2.88 ≈ 1.33

Step 3: Multiply all the numbers by a number that makes all of them integer

C: 1 × 3 = 3

H: 1.34 × 3 = 4

O: 1.33 × 3 = 4

The empirical formula is C₃H₄O₄.

Calculate the specific heat of the substance if 373 J is required to raise the temperature of a 312 gram sample by 25°C?

I am Lyosha [343]

Explanation:

Q = 373J

∆∅ = 25°C

m = 312g

c = x

Q = mc∆∅

373 = 312(x)(25)

373 = 7800x

x = 373/7800

x = 0.0478J/(g°C)
