Carbon dioxide is a nonpolar molecule true of false

Chemistry
1 answer:
denis-greek [22]3 years ago
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.

How many liters are equal to 8 megaliters (ML)?
Reika [66]

Answer:

8000000 litres

Explanation:

General formula,

→ 1 megaliter = 1000000 litres

Then 8 megaliters will be,

→ 8 × 1000000

→ [ 8000000 litres ]

Hence, the solution is 8000000 L.

How would an apple, potato, and onion all taste the same?
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

If you were to plug your nose, it would block out more than 80% of taste, causing all three items to have no taste- therefore making them taste the same.

A certain liquid X has a normal boiling point of 108.30 °C and a boiling point elevation constant Kb=1.07 °C kg/mol. A solution
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

34,6g of (NH₄)₂SO₄

Explanation:

The boiling-point elevation describes the phenomenon in which the boiling point of a liquid increases with the addition of a compound. The formula is:

ΔT = kb×m

Where ΔT is Tsolution - T solvent; kb is ebullioscopic constant and m is molality of ions in solution.

For the problem:

ΔT = 109,7°C-108,3°C = 1,4°C

kb = 1.07 °C kg/mol

Solving:

m = 1,31 mol/kg

As mass of X = 600g = 0,600kg:

1,31mol/kg×0,600kg = 0,785 moles of ions. As (NH₄)₂SO₄ has three ions:

0,785 moles of ions×\frac{1(NH_{4})_{2}SO_{4}}{3Ions} = 0,262 moles of (NH₄)₂SO₄

As molar mass of (NH₄)₂SO₄ is 132,14g/mol:

0,262 moles of (NH₄)₂SO₄×\frac{132,14g}{1mol} = <em>34,6g of (NH₄)₂SO₄</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!
