Why is water called "polar"?

1 answer:

6 0

Water (H2O) is polar because of the bent shape of the molecule. The shape means most of the negative charge from the oxygen on side of the molecule and the positive charge of the hydrogen atoms is on the other side of the molecule. This is an example of polar covalent chemical bonding. When solutes are added to water, they may be affected by the charge distribution.

How many grams of h2 will be produced if 175g of HCI are allowed to react completely with sodium

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

4.8 grams of H₂ will be produced if 175g of HCI are allowed to react completely with sodium

Explanation:

By stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction) you can see that the following amounts in moles of each compound react and are produced:

HCl: 2 moles
Na: 1 mole
NaCl: 2 moles
H₂: 1 mole

You know the following masses of each element:

H: 1 g/mole
Cl: 35.45 g/mole
Na: 23 g/mole

So, the molar mass of each compound participating in the reaction is:

HCl: 1 g/mole + 35.45 g/mole= 36.45 g/mole
Na: 23 g/mole
NaCl: 23 g/mole + 35.45 g/mole= 58.45 g/mole
H₂: 2* 1 g/mole= 2 g/mole

Then, by stoichiometry of the reaction, the following amounts in grams of each of the compounds participating in the reaction react and are produced:

HCl: 2 moles* 36.45 g/mole= 72.9 g
Na: 1 mole* 23 g/mole= 23 g
NaCl: 2 moles* 58.45 g/mole= 116.9 g
H₂: 1 mole* 2 g/mole= 2 g

So, a rule of three applies as follows: if by stoichiometry, when reacting 72.9 grams of HCl 2 grams of H₂ are formed, when reacting 175 grams of HCl how much mass of H₂ will be formed?

$mass of H_{2} =\frac{175 g of HCl*2g ofH_{2} }{72.9 g of HCl}$

mass of H₂= 4.8 g

<u><em>4.8 grams of H₂ will be produced if 175g of HCI are allowed to react completely with sodium</em></u>

Why is it important for someone to hold enzymes in their functional shapes

kumpel [21]

Answer:

there are spaces within the enzymes that is active. That active site allows substrates to join in. This helps the enzyme carry out the chemical reaction with the substrate.

What type of system is Earth ?

Gnoma [55]

The planet Earth itself is considered to be a closed system because there is a limit to the amount of matter that is exchanged. However, there are open systems that are ON Earth.
