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

1 answer:

4 0

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.

A chemist combined 0.440 L of an unknown calcium solution with an excess of ammonium chromate. This resulted in the precipitatio

Rina8888 [55]

The concentration of the original calcium ions is 0.005 M

<h3>What is concentration?</h3>

The term concentration has to do with the amount of substance in solution. We know that the concentration can be measured in a lot of units such as mole/litre, grams per litre, percentage and so on.

As such we have the equation;

Ca^2+(aq) + (NH4)2CrO4(aq) --------> CaCrO4(s) + 2NH4^+(aq)

Number of moles of the precipitate = 346.7 * 10^-3 g/156 g/mol

= 0.0022 moles

Now;

1 mole of Ca^2+ produces 1 mole of CaCrO4 hence 0.0022 moles of CaCrO4 was produced by 0.0022 moles of CaCrO4.

Given that the volume of the solution is 0.440 L, the concentration of the solution is; 0.0022 moles/0.440 L

= 0.005 M

During our phase changes lab, where did we place the thermometer?

IrinaK [193]

The thermometer must be <u>in contact with the ice/water only</u>

Explanation:

In this experiment in the lab, the aim is to measure the specific latent heat of fusion of water.

The specific latent heat of fusion of a substance is the amount of heat energy required to completely melt a certain amount of the substance, mathematically:

$\lambda = \frac{Q}{m}$

where

Q is the heat supplied to the substance

m is the mass of the substance

In this experiment, the aim is to measure the specific latent heat of fusion of water. In order to do that, a mix of ice/water is heated with a certain amount of heat Q, and then it is evaluated the amount of mass m that undergoes melting.

An important precaution that must be taken in this experiment is that the temperature of the water/ice mixture remains constant and equal to the melting point of ice (otherwise, part of the heat supplied to the mixture is used to increase the temperature of the water, resulting in an inaccurate measure of Q). Therefore, a thermometer must be used to check constantly the temperature, and this thermometer must be placed inside the ice/water mixture only (It should not touch the saucepan, whose temperature can be higher).

So, the correct answer is

in contact with the ice/water only
