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.

A force of attraction that holds atom together
When atoms react they form a chemical bond which is defined as a force of attraction that holds atom together. A force of attraction is defined as a kind of force that draws two or more objects together regardless of distance. There are two major categories of forces of attraction, one is intramolecular and intermolecular. Intramolecular forces is the presence of forces in atoms internally. While intermolecular is the force by which the force that is existent in two or more elements.

Air at 25°C with a dew point of 10 °C enters a humidifier. The air leaving the unit has an absolute humidity of 0.07 kg of water
madreJ [45]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

         Temperature of dry bulb of air = 25^{o}C

          Dew point = 10^{o}C = (10 + 273) K = 283 K

At the dew point temperature, the first drop of water condenses out of air and then,

        Partial pressure of water vapor (P_{a}) = vapor pressure of water at a given temperature (P^{s}_{a})

Using Antoine's equation we get the following.

            ln (P^{s}_{a}) = 16.26205 - \frac{3799.887}{T(K) - 46.854}

            ln (P^{s}_{a}) = 16.26205 - \frac{3799.887}{283 - 46.854}

                               = 0.17079

                   P^{s}_{a} = 1.18624 kPa

As total pressure (P_{t}) = atmospheric pressure = 760 mm Hg

                                   = 101..325 kPa

The absolute humidity of inlet air = \frac{P^{s}_{a}}{P_{t} - P^{s}_{a}} \times \frac{18 kg H_{2}O}{29 \text{kg dry air}}

                  \frac{1.18624}{101.325 - 1.18624} \times \frac{18 kg H_{2}O}{29 \text{kg dry air}}

                 = 0.00735 kg H_{2}O/ kg dry air

Hence, air leaving the humidifier has a has an absolute humidity (%) of 0.07 kg H_{2}O/ kg dry air.

Therefore, amount of water evaporated for every 1 kg dry air entering the humidifier is as follows.

                 0.07 kg - 0.00735 kg

              = 0.06265 kg H_{2}O for every 1 kg dry air

Hence, calculate the amount of water evaporated for every 100 kg of dry air as follows.

                0.06265 kg \times 100

                  = 6.265 kg

Thus, we can conclude that kg of water the must be evaporated into the air for every 100 kg of dry air entering the unit is 6.265 kg.

What is the hybridization of the central atom in CO2? Hybridization = What are the approximate bond angles in this substance? Bo
const2013 [10]

Answer:

sp

Explanation:

Hybridization is the combination of atomic orbitals to yield equivalent hybrid orbitals of appropriate energy which can participate in bonding.

In every compound there is a central atom. The central atom is usually the least electronegative atom in the molecule. In this case the least electronegative atom in the molecule is carbon.

The bond between carbon and oxygen in CO2 is intermittent between a pure double and a pure triple bond. Hence, carbon is sp hybridized.
