Identify the dominant intermolecular attraction in bh3.

1 answer:

6 0

The molecule BH3 is trigonal planar, with B in the center and H in the three vertices. Ther are no free electrons. All the valence electrons are paired in and forming bonds.

There are four kind of intermolecular attractions: ionic, hydrogen bonds, polar and dispersion forces.

B and H have very similar electronegativities, Boron's electronegativity is 2.0 and Hydrogen's electronegativity is 2.0.

The basis of ionic compounds are ions and the basis of polar compounds are dipoles.

The very similar electronegativities means that B and H will not form either ions or dipoles. So, that discards the possibility of finding ionic or polar interactions.

Regarding, hydrogen bonds, that only happens when hydrogen bonds to O, N or F atoms. This is not the case, so you are sure that there are not hydrogen bonds.

When this is the case, the only intermolecular force is dispersion interaction, which present in all molecules.

Then, the answer is dispersion interaction.

Answer:

1. Temperature, the average kinetic energy of particles, indicates how warm something is. Thermal energy, or the overall kinetic energy of the particles, indicates how a substance or material will transmit heat or chill something else.

2. A thermal expansion is a matter to change in volume in response to a change in temperature.

3. Heat is the form of energy that is transferred between systems or objects with different temperatures.

4. Air temperature near or over bodies of water is much different from that over land due to differences in the way water and land heat and cool. Properties that affect water temperature are transparency, ability to circulate, and specific heat.

5. Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through space by electromagnetic radiation.

6. Radiation is natural and found everywhere, it comes from outer space, the air we breathe, and the earth we tread.

7. When a fluid, such as air or a liquid, is heated and then travels away from the source, it carries the thermal energy along. The fluid above a hot surface expands, becomes less dense, and rises.

8. Convection currents in the Earth occur in the mantle

9. The fire's heat causes molecules in the pan to vibrate faster, making it hotter. These vibrating molecules collide with their neighboring molecules, making them also vibrate faster.

10. Since air is a poor conductor, most energy transfer by conduction occurs right near Earth's surface. Conduction directly affects air temperature only a few centimeters into the atmosphere.

- Hope this helps!

A 251 ml sample of 0.45M HCl is added to 455 mL of distilled water. What is the molarity of the

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

We are given:

251 mL sample of 0.45M HCl added to 455 mL distilled water

Whack a mole! (finding the number of moles):

We know that in order to find molarity, we use the formula:

Molarity = number of moles / Volume (in L)

so, number of moles is:

Number of moles = Molarity * Volume(in L)

now let's plug the values for the HCl solution to find the number of moles

Number of moles = 0.45M * 0.251 L

Number of moles = 0.113 moles

Time to concentrate (finding the final concentration):

Total final volume = 251 mL + 455 mL = 706 mL = 0.706 L

Number of moles of HCl = 0.113 moles

Molarity = Number of moles / Volume (in L)

Molarity = 0.113 / 0.706

Molarity = 0.16 M

___________________________________________________________

BONUS METHOD TIME!!!

We know the relation:

M1 * V1 = M2 * V2

where M1 and M2 are the initial and final molarities and V1 and V2 are initial and final volumes respectively

notice that I didn't mention that the volume has to be in Liters, that's because of the units being concerned with both sides of the equation, say I have the volume in mL and want to convert both these volumes to L, I would divide both sides by 1000, which would NOT change the overall value

Now, plugging values in this equation

(0.45) * (251) = (251 + 455)* (M2)

112.95 = (706)(M2)

M2 = 112.97/706 [dividing both sides by 706]

M2 = 0.16 Molar
