On the basis of molecular structure and bond polarity, which of the following compounds is most likely to have the greatest solu

Drupady [299]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{c) NH$_{3}$; hydrogen bonding}}$

Explanation:

For each of these molecules, you must determine their VSEPR structure and then identify the strongest intermolecular forces.

Remember that water is a highly polar molecule.

a) CH₄

Electron geometry: tetrahedral

Molecular geometry: tetrahedral

Bond polarity: C-H bond nonpolar

Molecular polarity: nonpolar

Strongest IMF: London dispersion forces

Solubility in water: low

A nonpolar molecule is insoluble in a polar solvent.

b) CCl₄

Electron geometry: tetrahedral

Molecular geometry: tetrahedral

Bond polarity: C-Cl bond nonpolar

Molecular polarity: nonpolar (symmetrical molecule. All bond dipoles cancel)

Strongest IMF: London dispersion forces

Solubility in water: low

A nonpolar molecule is insoluble in a polar solvent.

d) PH₃

Electron geometry: tetrahedral

Molecular geometry: trigonal pyramidal

Bond polarity: P-H bonds are polar

Molecular polarity: polar (all P-H bond dipoles point towards P)

Strongest IMF: dipole-dipole

Solubility in water: soluble

A polar molecule is soluble in a polar solvent.

c) NH₃

Electron geometry: tetrahedral

Molecular geometry: trigonal pyramidal

Bond polarity: N-H bonds are highly polar

Molecular polarity: highly polar (all N-H bond dipoles point towards N)

Strongest IMF: hydrogen bonding

Solubility in water: highly soluble

NH₃ is so polar that it can form hydrogen bonds with water.

$\boxed{\textbf{The compound with the greatest solubility in water is NH$_{3}$}}$

Suppose you have a bucket of sand containing 2.5 billion grains of sand (2.5 x 10 grains). Most of the grains of sand are white,

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

a. 5.0 x 10⁷ brown grains = 50 million

b. 5.0 x 10³ brown grains = 5000

Explanation:

The concentration of 2 % brown sand means we have for every 100 grains of sand 2 are brown.

We need to calculate the number of brown sand in the bucket as follows:

= 2.5 x 10⁹ billion grains of sand x (2 brown grains/ 100 grains of sand)

= 5.0 x 10⁷ brown grains

Likewise if the concentration of brown sand is 2.0 ppm, it mean that we have 2 brown grain per every million grains of sand.

= 2.5 x 10⁹ billion grains of sand x ( 2.0 brown grains/10⁶ grains of sand )

= 5.0 x 10³ brown grains

The answers make sense since a concentration of 1 part per million is ten thousandths of a 1 percent

What is the hydroxide [OH-] concentration of a solution that has a pOH of 4.90? 14 14 1.26 x10-5 1.26 x10, -5 9.1 9.1 7.94 x 104

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

The hydroxide [OH-] concentration of the solution is 1.26*10⁻⁵ M.

Explanation:

The pOH (or potential OH) is a measure of the basicity or alkalinity of a solution.

POH indicates the concentration of hydroxyl ions [OH-] present in a solution and is defined as the negative logarithm of the activity of hydroxide ions (that is, the concentration of OH- ions):

pOH= -log [OH-]

A solution has a pOH of 4.90. Replacing in the definition of pOH:

4.90= -log [OH-]

Solving:

-4.90= log [OH-]

1.26*10⁻⁵ M= [OH-]

The hydroxide [OH-] concentration of the solution is 1.26*10⁻⁵ M.

The peregrine falcon has been measured as Traveling up to 350 km/hr in a dive. if this falcon can fly to the moon at this speed,

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

4 × 10⁶ sec

Explanation:

The distance between the earth and the moon = 384,400 km

The speed of the peregrine falcon = 350 km/hr

Considering,

Distance = Speed × Time

So,

Time = Distance / Speed = 384,400 km / 350 km/hr = 1098.28571 hrs

Also,

1 hr = 3600 sec

So,

1098.28571 hrs = 3600 × 1098.28571 s ≅ 4 × 10⁶ sec

Thus time taken by peregrine falcon if falcon fly to the moon = 4 × 10⁶ sec
