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

Chemistry

Oduvanchick [21]3 years ago
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.

Calculate the number of Na ions and Cl ions and total number of ions in 14.5g of NaCl.​
Elanso [62]

Answer:

Number of Na ions in 14.5 g of NaCl is 1.49 × 10²³.

Number of Cl ions in 14.5 g of NaCl is 1.49 × 10²³.

Total number of ions =  1.49 × 10²³  +  1.49 × 10²³ = 2.98 × 10²³.

Explanation:

1 mole of any compound contains 6.023 × 10²³ molecules.

molecular weight of NaCl is 23 + 35.5 = 58.5 g.

so, 58.5 grams of NaCl makes 1 mole

⇒ 14.5 g of NaCl = \frac{14.5}{58.5} =  0.248 moles.

⇒ 0.248 mole contains 0.248 × 6.023×10²³ molecules

=  1.49 × 10²³ molecules.

And 1 molecule contains 1 Na ion and 1 Cl ion.

⇒ number of Na ions in 14.5 g of NaCl is 1.49 × 10²³.

⇒ number of Cl ions in 14.5 g of NaCl is 1.49 × 10²³.

Total number of ions =  1.49 × 10²³  +  1.49 × 10²³ = 2.98 × 10²³.

What are the basic properties of waves
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

There are many properties that scientists use to describe waves. They include amplitude, frequency, period, wavelength, speed, and phase. Each of these properties is described in more detail below. When drawing a wave or looking at a wave on a graph, we draw the wave as a snapshot in time.

If a solution has a [H+] of 9.3x10-11, what is the pH?
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

<h2>10.03</h2>

Explanation:

The pH of a solution can be found by using the formula

pH = - log [ {H}^{+} ]

From the question we have

ph =  -  log(9.3 \times  {10}^{ - 11} )  \\  = 10.0315...

We have the final answer as

<h3>10.03</h3>

Hope this helps you

When copper ii chloride reacts with sodium nitrate copper ii nitrate and sodium chloride are formed?
Nesterboy [21]
The balanced chemical reaction would be written as follows:

CuCl2 + 2NaNO3 = Cu(NO3)2 + 2NaCl

This is an example of a double displacement type of reaction where the ions of the reactants displaces each other forming two new substances. Hope this answers the question.
