Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Polarity is defined as the development of partial charges on the atoms of a molecule.

Whereas polarizability is defined as the ability or measure of how readily an electron cloud is able to get distorted. More is the polarizability more will be the electron is distorted in nature.

A dipole moment is defined as the measurement of the separation of two opposite electrical charges.

Thus, we can conclude that when the electron cloud of a molecule is easily distorted, the molecule has a high polarizability.

What energy sources boil the water in geothermal energy
GREYUIT [131]
The steam rotates a turbine that activates a generator, which produces electricity. Many power plants still use fossil fuels to boil water for steam. Geothermal power plants, however, use steam produced from reservoirs of hot water found a couple of miles or more below the Earth's surface.

If 65.5 moles of an ideal gas is at 9.15 atm at 50.30 °C, what is the volume of the gas?
qwelly [4]
To calculate for the volume, we need a relation to relate the number of moles (n), pressure (P), and temperature (T) with volume (V). For simplification, we assume the gas is an ideal gas. So, we use PV=nRT.

PV = nRT  where R is the universal gas constant
V = nRT / P
V = 65.5 ( 0.08205 ) (273.15 + 50.30) / 9.15 
V = 189.98 L
