Why is water called "polar"?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Brilliant_brown [7]3 years ago
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.

An animal skeleton has a carbon-14 decay rate of 13.1 disintegrations per minute per gram of carbon. When did the animal die? (A
Olenka [21]

Answer:

1034 yrs

Explanation:

The equation to use in this question is:

t = -2.303/k log (A/A₀) where

A=    present number of disintegrations

A₀ =  intial number of disintegrations

k =  decay constant

The decay constant we will obtain it from the given hal-life:

k: 0.693/t₁/₂,        t₁/₂ = half-life   ⇒

k: 0.693 / 5730 y =  1.209 x 10⁻⁴ /y⁻¹

t = - 2.303 / 1.209 x 10⁻⁴ /y⁻¹ x log (13.1/15.3) =  1034 yrs

Calculate the molecular mass or formula mass (in amu) of each of the following substances: (a) BrN3 amu (b) C2H6 amu (c) NF2 amu
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Shown below

Explanation:

a) for BrN3

80+3(14)=122amu

b) forC2H6

2(12) + 6(1) = 30amu

C) for NF2

14+2(19) = 52amu

D) Al2S3

2(27) + 3(32)= 150amu

E) for Fe(NO3)3

56 + 3 [14+3(16)] =242amu

F) Mg3N2

3(24) + 2(14)= 100amu

G) for (NH4)2CO3

2[14 +4(1)] +12 +3(16)=96amu

What is the pH of a solution with a H+ ion of 2×10-¹²?​
kap26 [50]

Answer:

11.7

Explanation:

The pH is the negative logarithm of the concentration of H+ ions. If the concentration is 2×10-¹² the the pH will be -log(2×10-¹²) which is 11.698 which can be round up to 11.7.
