Why are the molecules of hydrogen chloride gas (hcl) more tightly bound to each other than molecules of oxygen gas (o2)?

Answer : If we consider the molecule of oxygen gas which in diatomic state, is bonded to other atom which is of same element this is called as homonuclear.

While in HCl there is a heteronuclear bonding observed because there are two different elements getting involved in the bond formation, also  it creates a electrovalent species in itself and makes it more polar. They are creating a dipole moment by separating different charges in the molecule which cause it to get tightly bonded with each other.

Olin [163]

Answer:

The answer is 6.25g.

Explanation:

First create your balanced equation. This will give you the stoich ratios needed to answer the question:

2C8H18 + 25O2 → 16CO2 + 18H2O

Remember, we need to work in terms of NUMBERS, but the question gives us MASS. Therefore the next step is to convert the mass of O2 into moles of O2 by dividing by the molar mass:

7.72 g / 16 g/mol = 0.482 mol

Now we can use the stoich ratio from the equation to determine how many moles of H2O are produced:

x mol H2O / 0.482 mol O2 = 18 H2O / 25 O2

x = 0.347 mol H2O

The question wants the mass of water, so convert moles back into mass by multiplying by the molar mass of water:

0.347 mol x 18 g/mol = 6.25g

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

carbon in  group 4A needs 4 more electrons to be stable

hydrogen in group 1A has one electron needs 1 more t o be stale

oxygen in group 6A has 6 and needs 2 more to be stable

They all obtain this by sharing electrons  8 around C &O, 2 around H

Q.1-

Given,

mass - 10grams

volume - 24 cm³

density = mass/volume

density = 10/24

density = 0.416 g/cm³

Q.2-

Given,

mass - 700grams

volume - 1100cm³

density = mass/volume

density = 700/1100

density = 0.6363 g/cm³
