Answer:- First choice is correct, "It has two polar single bonds and a bent shape."

Explanations:- In water, O atom is the central atom and two H atoms are bonded with a single bond by the sharing of electrons to the central atom. Since there is a sharing of electrons, the bonds between O and H atoms are covalent.

Oxygen atom is more electron negative as compared to H atom, so the shared electrons are more towards oxygen atom and it generates a partial negative charge on O and partial positive charge on H atoms and makes the bond polar covalent.

The molecule would be linear if the central atom doesn't have lone pair of electrons. Since, there are two lone pair of electrons around O atom, there becomes repulsion between two lone pairs and the lone pairs and bond pairs also and the molecule becomes asymmetrical and it's shape becomes bent.

So, the water molecule has two polar single bonds and a bent shape.

The complete balanced equation for the reaction between barium hydroxide and acetic<br> acid is
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

2 CH3COOH + Ba(OH)2 --> Ba(C2H3O2)2 + 2H2O

To make it less clustered, you can use Ac for C2H3O2.

2 HAc + Ba(OH)2 --> Ba(Ac)2 + 2H2O

The acetic acid reacts with the base barium hydroxide to form the salt barium acetate and water.

Explanation:

final answer. C

Why do different substances heat up and cool down at different rates?
shepuryov [24]
Each substance has its own unique structure and properties that are based on these structures.

One of those most important properties is the "specific heat" value.
Specific heat is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by 1 degree Celsius.

Each substance has its own specific heat. The higher the specific heat of a substance, the longer it will take to heat up or cool down.

Hope this helps :)

5. The heat of fusion of lead is 25 J/g and its melting point is 601 K. How much heat is given off as 3.0 g
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

the heat given off is 75 J.

Explanation:

Given;

latent heat of fusion of lead, L= 25 J/g

mass of liquid lead, m = 3.0g

The heat given off is calculated as;

H = Lm

Where;

H is the quantity of heat given off

H = 25 x 3

H = 75 J.

Therefore, the heat given off is 75 J.

What is the Basis of chemistry
Kipish [7]

Answer: In chemistry, there are three definitions in common use of the word base, known as Arrhenius bases, Brønsted bases and Lewis bases. All definitions agree that bases are substances which react with acids as originally proposed by G.-F. Rouelle in the mid-18th century.
