Carbon dioxide is a nonpolar molecule true of false

1 answer:

7 0

This statement is TRUE.

The polarity of the molecule is caused by unequal sharing of the electrons in the covalent bond. Even though the carbon dioxide molecule is made from two different atoms, two oxygen atoms and one carbon atom, the CO2 molecule is non polar because of the structure of the molecule.
The CO2 has a linear, symmetrical structure. This means that the two oxygen atoms with greater electronegativity are symmetrically placed around the carbon molecule. This arrangement of atoms causes a balance in the sharing of the electrons, making the molecule non polar.

What is the molar concentration of hydronium ions in a sample of a soft drink that has a ph of 4?

hammer [34]

[ $H^{+}$ ] value of soft drink is 0.0001mol/l when given pH is 4.

Given:

pH = 4

Needs to find: [ $H^{+}$ ]

Formula to find: pH=−log $_{10}$ [ $H^{+}$ ]

We can put the values of pH in above formula as,

pH=−log $_{10}$ [ $H^{+}$ ]

4 =−log $_{10}$ [ $H^{+}$ ]

To calculate hydonium ion concentration, formula is as follows;

[ $H^{+}$ ] = $10^{-pH}$

[ $H^{+}$ ] = $10^{-4}$ = 0.0001mol/l

[ $H^{+}$ ] value of soft drink is 0.0001mol/l

Differentiate between a single atom of gold and a single atom of lead. <br> (No Multiple Choice)

tatyana61 [14]

Lead has a different chemistry than most biological metals, but it can mimic some of them, such as calcium, iron, and zinc, because it tends to form 2+ ion like other metals, and these can be formed inside the body. Due to it different chemistry, lead prevents normal functioning of the enzymes it binds to, inhibiting them and poisoning the body.

Gold rarely forms ions, unless under extreme conditions that are not present in the human body. Gold ions, when ingested, are actually very toxic, so gold poisoning is possible. But because gold are so rare, gold poisoning is also a rare phenomenon.
