If water were a nonpolar molecule, how would its properties be different?

1 answer:

5 0

If water was nonpolar, life as it exists now would be impossible. Water is the means by which ionic substances ( Fe^3+, Na^+, Ca^2+, K^+, etc) and polar molecules are distributed around and in the cells of organisms.
<span>Water is a major contributor to erosion of mountains because of its polar nature. It is able to dissolve almost all minerals because of its attraction for the positive and negative parts of the minerals that it encounters. </span>
<span>If it was nonpolar, it would not exist in the solid and liquid state on earth. It is the attraction of the oppositely charged ends of different water molecules that makes it assume the liquid and solid state under the temperature ranges found on earth.</span>

What is the wavenumber of the radiation emitted when a hydrogen

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer: Wavenumber of the radiation emitted is $0.08\times 10^{8}m^{-1}$

Explanation:

The relationship between wavelength and energy of the wave follows the equation:

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where,

E = energy of the radiation = $1.634\times 10^{-18}J$

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}Js$

c = speed of light = $3\times 10^8m/s$

$\lambda$ = wavelength of radiation = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1.634\times 10^{-18}J=\frac{(6.626\times 10^{-34}Js)\times (3\times 10^8m/s)}{\lambda}\\\\\lambda=12.16\times 10^{-8}m$

$\bar {\nu}=\frac{1}{\lambda}=\frac{1}{12.16\times 10^{-8}}=0.08\times 10^{8}m^{-1}$

Thus wavenumber of the radiation emitted is $0.08\times 10^{8}m^{-1}$

For the reaction between aqueous silver nitrate and aqueous sodium chloride, write each of the following. The products of the re

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

A balanced ionic equation shows the reacting ions in a chemical reaction. These equations can be used to represent what happens in precipitation reactions or displacement reactions.

Precipitation reactions

In a typical precipitation reaction, two soluble reactants form an insoluble product and a soluble product.

For example, silver nitrate solution reacts with sodium chloride solution. Insoluble solid silver chloride and sodium nitrate solution form:

AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) → AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq)

The Na+ ions and NO3- ions remain separate in the sodium nitrate solution and do not form a precipitate. Ions that remain essentially unchanged during a reaction are called spectator ions.This means these can be ignored when writing the ionic equation. Only how the solid silver chloride forms is needed to be shown:

Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq) → AgCl(s)

In a balanced ionic equation:

the number of positive and negative charges is the same

the numbers of atoms of each element on the left and right are the same

Displacement reactions

Displacement reactions take place when a reactive element displaces a less reactive element from one of its compounds.

A common type of displacement reaction takes place when a reactive metal reacts with the salt of a less reactive metal. For example, copper reacts with silver nitrate solution to produce silver and copper(II) nitrate solution:

2AgNO3(aq) + Cu(s) → 2Ag(s) + Cu(NO3)2(aq)

In this reaction, the NO3- ions remain in the solution and do not react - they are the spectator ions in this reaction. So, they can be removed from the ionic equation:

2Ag+(aq) + Cu(s) → 2Ag(s) + Cu2+(aq)

Question

Explain why this ionic equation is balanced:

Ba2+(aq) + SO42-(aq) → BaSO4(s)

Hide answer

There are the same numbers of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation. The total charge on both sides is also the same (zero).

Question

Balance this ionic equation, which represents the formation of a silver carbonate precipitate:

Ag+(aq) + CO32-(aq) → Ag2CO3(s)

Hide answer

2Ag+(aq) + CO32-(aq) → Ag2CO3(s)

Question

Balance this ionic equation, which represents the displacement of iodine from iodide ions by chlorine:

Cl2(aq) + I-(aq) → I2(aq) + Cl-(aq)

Hide answer

Cl2(aq) + 2I-(aq) → I2(aq) + 2Cl-(aq

what is the diffrence between displacement ans double displacement reactions write equations for these reactions

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Single Displacement reaction

In a displacement reaction, a more reactive element replaces a less reactive element from a compound.

Change in colour takes place with no precipitate forms.

Metals react with the salt solution of another metal.

Examples:

2KI + Cl2 → 2KCl + I2

CuSO4 + Zn → ZnSO4 + Cu

Double displacement reaction

In a double displacement reaction, two atoms or a group of atoms switch places to form new compounds.

Precipitate is formed.

Salt solutions of two different metals react with each other.

Examples:

Na2SO4 + BaCl2 → BaSO4 + 2NaCl

2KBr + BaCl2 → 2KCl + BaBr2
