Answer:
The correct statements that you must check are:
- The oxygen atom has a greater attraction for electrons than the hydrogen atom does (second statement).
- The electrons of the covalent bond are not shared equally between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms (fourth statement).
Explanation:
Electronegativity is the relative ability of an atom to pull the electrons in a covalent bond.
Hydrogen has an electronegativity of 2.20 and oxygen has 3.44. That means that oxygen attracts the electrons more strongly than hydrogen does (second statement).
As consequence, the electrons in the covalent bond H - O of water are not shared equally (fourth statement): the electron density will be higher around the O atoms.
Of course, this discards the statement telling that hydrogen atom attracts electrons much more strongly than the oxygen atom, and the statement telling that hydrogen and oxigen have same electronegativity.
Such difference in electron densities creates a dipole moment, so you discard the last statement (that the water dipole moment is equal to zero).
Answer:
a) False
b) False
c) True
Explanation:
a) Most sulfur oxides formed during combustion come from sulfur in the air: The sulfur burns in presence of oxygen to produce sulfur oxides, the source of sulfur is anthropogenic activities (Human activities).
So the given statement is false.
b) A flue gas scrubber removes SO2 pollution in a coal-fired power plant by using lime to convert the SO2 into alcohols:
False
The lime reacts with sulfur dioxide to give carbon dioxide and calcium sulfite.
c) True
c)
Answer:
One positive charge
Explanation:
In a neutral atom, the number of positive and negative particles are equal. This leaves the atom with a net charge of zero, 0.
When the number of protons in an atom is greater than the number of electrons, the atom becomes positively charged. When an atom loses an electron when a bond wants to form, it has a net positive charge.
The number of electrons lost or gained determines the charge.
Answer:
0.229 cm³.
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Volume (in in³) = 0.014 in³
Volume (in cm³) =?
1 in = 2.54 cm
Next, we shall determine a conversion scale to convert from in³ to cm³. This can be obtained as follow:
1 in = 2.54 cm
Therefore,
1 in³ = 2.54³ cm³
1 in³ = 16.387 cm³
Finally, we shall convert 0.014 in³ to cm³. This can be obtained as follow:
1 in³ = 16.387 cm³
Therefore,
0.014 in³ = 0.014 in³ × 16.387 cm³ / 1 in³
0.014 in³ = 0.229 cm³
Thus, 0.014 in³ is equivalent to 0.229 cm³.
