Answer: The correct answer is option (A).

Explanation:

Polar molecules are molecules in which formation of partial charges takes place due to which dipole moment gets created in a molecule. Molecules with polar bonds that s bond with partly ionic character. And water is of the example of polar molecule.

Electronegative oxygen atom in water molecule attracts the electron bond pair towards itself which generates partial negative charge on oxygen atom and partial positive charge on both hydrogen atoms.

Where as water has higher value surface tension due to strong intermolecular association of the water molecule due to presence of hydrogen bonding.And it is more denser is liquid state than in its solid state.

Hence,the correct answer is option (A).

A sample of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) contains 3 moles of the substance. How many atoms are there in the sample?

kaheart [24]

Answer:

1.806 × 10²⁴ atoms

Explanation:

To obtain the number of atoms a substance contain, we have to multiply the number of moles in that substance (n) by Avogadro's number, which is 6.02 × 10²³.

According to this question, a sample of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) contains 3 moles of the substance. The number of atoms in CCl4 is calculated thus:

number of atoms = 3 × 6.02 × 10²³

number of atoms = 18.06 × 10²³

number of atoms = 1.806 × 10²⁴ atoms.

You have a saturated solution of BaSO4, a slightly soluble ionic compound. What happens if you add Ba(OH)2, NaNO3, and CuSO4 to

igomit [66]

Answer:

- Addition of Ba(OH)2: favors the formation of a precipitate.

- Undergo a chemical reaction forming soluble species.

- Addition of CuSO4 : favors the formation of a precipitate.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the dissociation reaction of barium sulfate is:

$BaSO_4(s)\rightleftharpoons Ba^{2+}(aq)+SO_4^{2-}(aq)$

We must analyze the effect of the common ion:

- By adding barium hydroxide, more barium ions will be added to the equilibrium system so the formation of solid barium sulfate will be favored (reaction shifts leftwards towards reactants).

- By adding sodium nitrate, the following reaction will undergo:

$BaSO_4(s)+NaNO_3(aq)\rightarrow Ba(NO_3)_2(aq)+Na_2SO_4(aq)$

So the precipitate will turn into other soluble species.

- By adding copper (II) sulfate, more sulfate ions will be added to the equilibrium system so the formation of solid barium sulfate will be favored (reaction shifts leftwards towards reactants).

All of this is supported by the Le Chatelier's principle.

Best regards.

Rank these compounds by highest boiling point to lowest boiling point? Pentane, neopentane, isopentane

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

<span>Pentane has a boiling point of 36.1 C, while isopentane boils at 27.7C. Neopentane has the lowest boiling point at 9.5 C. Therefore from highest to lowest boiling points, it is pentane, isopentane, and neopentane.</span>
