Which characteristic is a property of water?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Rus_ich [418]3 years ago
5 0

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).

Using the systematic approach for equilibrium problems, calculate the pH of 0.05 M HOCl. Ka= 3.0*10-8 Group of answer choices 3.
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The pH is equal to 4.41

Explanation:

Since HClO is a weak acid, its dissociation in aqueous medium is:

                HClO   ⇄   ClO-  +  H+

start:          0.05            0         0

change       -x               +x       +x

balance     0.05-x         x         x

As it is a weak acid it dissociates very little, in its ClO- and H + ions, so the change is negative, where x is a degree of dissociation.

the acidity constant when equilibrium is reached is equal to:

Ka=\frac{[ClO-]*[H+]}{[HClO]}=\frac{x*x}{0.05-x}=3x10^{-8}

The 0.05-x fraction can be approximated to 0.05, because the ionized fraction (x) is very small, therefore we have:

3x10^{-8}=\frac{x^{2} }{0.05}

clearing the x and calculating its value we have:

x=3.87x10^{-5}=[H+]=[ClO-]

the pH can be calculated by:

pH=-log[H+]=-log[3.87x10^{-5}]=4.41

What type(s) of intermolecular forces exist between two molecules of hexane? (BLB Ch. 11)
kati45 [8]

Answer:

induced dipole-dipole forces or London Dispersion forces / van der Waals forces.

Explanation:

Hexane is non-polar in nature. This is due to :

The bond in the molecule is C-H, which is non-polar in nature because the carbon and the hydrogen having very similar electronegativity values.

Hexane is also symmetric.

The intermolecular force acting in the molecule of the hexane are induced the dipole-dipole forces or London Dispersion forces / van der Waals forces.
