I don't understand what makes a covalent bond "polar." What exactly is polarity?

1 answer:

5 0

Say you have a bond A-B.

Even though in this bond each atom shares electrons, one might attract electrons more than another. If one atom, A for instance, attracts those electrons way better than B, then the bond will be polar, and the electronic cloud will be more important around A than around B, which gives chemical properties to the molecule.

In an open system the vapor pressure is equal to the

erica [24]

Answer: In an open system the vapor pressure is equal to the outside air pressure.

Explanation:

An open system is a system that is capable of exchanging both matter and energy with its surroundings.

For example, a hot cup of coffee is an open system as the cup is not covered with a lid. Therefore, heat energy from the coffee goes into the surroundings.

Vapor pressure is defined as the ability of a substance to change into vapor state. pressure

Therefore, we can conclude that in an open system the vapor pressure is equal to the outside air pressure.

A 25.0 L tank of nitrogen gas is at 25 oC and 2.05 atm . If the temperature stays at 25 oC and the volume is decreased to 14.5 L

NeTakaya

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf P_2 \approx 3.53 \ atm}}$

Explanation:

In this problem, the temperature stays constant. The volume and pressure change, so we use Boyle's Law. This states that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to the volume. The formula is:

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

Now we can substitute any known values into the formula.

Originally, the gas has a volume of 25.0 liters and a pressure of 2.05 atmospheres.

$25.0 \ L * 2.05 \ atm = P_2V_2$

The volume is decreased to 14.5 liters, but the pressure is unknown.

$25.0 \ L * 2.05 \ atm = P_2 * 14.5 \ L$

Since we are solving for the new pressure, or P₂, we must isolate the variable. It is being multiplied by 14.5 liters and the inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 14.5 L .

$\frac {25.0 \ L * 2.05 \ atm }{14.5 \ L}=\frac{P_2 *14.5 \ L}{14.5 \ L}$

$\frac {25.0 \ L * 2.05 \ atm }{14.5 \ L}= P_2$

The units of liters cancel.

$\frac {25.0 * 2.05 \ atm }{14.5 }=P_2$

$\frac {50.25\ atm }{14.5 }=P_2$

$3.53448276 \ atm = P_2$

The original values of volume and pressure have 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same.

For the number we found, that is the hundredth place.

3.53448276

The 4 in the thousandth place (in bold above) tells us to leave the 3 in the hundredth place.

$3.53 \ atm \approx P_2$

The new pressure is approximately <u>3.53 atmospheres.</u>

What does Hess's law state about the total enthalpy change for a reaction?OA. It depends on the reaction pathway.B. It can only

Dimas [21]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option D is correct. It is independent of the reaction pathway.

<h2>Explanations:</h2><h2>What is Hess's law?</h2>

Hesslaw states that the enthalpy change of a reaction does not change regardless whether the reaction takes place in a single or multiple reaction pathways.

This shows that the total entalpy change of a reaction does not depend on the reaction pathway.
