Explain the role of molecular geometry in determining molecular polarity

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ede4ka [16]3 years ago
5 0
The molecular geometry of a compound helps to determine polarity b/c, it indicates the number of lone pairs on a central atom thus giving it specified angles and polarity (only if there are lone pairs b/c if there are no lone pairs on the central atom, then it is nonpolar.

What causes ionic bonding between two atoms?
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Ionic bonding happens when an atom of an element gives one or more of its electrons to the other element's atom..it usually takes place between metal and non metal atoms...like in NaCl, Na gives its valence electron to chlorine and completes its own octet. Chlorine accepts the electron and completes its own octet too...but now both the atoms have an opposing charge and hence they attract each other to form an IONIC bond.

Ionic bonds are the strongest of the bonds...here complete transfer of electrons takes place unlike covalent bonds.

A chemical reaction that removes electrons from an atom is called a(n) ________ reaction.
ch4aika [34]
A chemical reaction that removes electrons from an atom is called "O<span>xidation".
The term came from late 18th century from French.
When the electrons are removed from an atom it increase its valence.</span>

It was calculated that 4.3mL of 0.417 M HCl is required to titrate 11.9 mL of 0.151 M Mg(OH)2. Show evidence 2 HCl(aq) + Mg(OH)2
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the described chemical reaction:

2 HCl(aq) + Mg(OH)2(aq) → MgCl2(aq) + 2 H2O(l)

We can notice there is a 2:1 molar ratio between the moles of hydrochloric acid and magnesium hydroxide, therefore, at the equivalence point:

n_{HCl}=2*n_{Mg(OH)_2}

And in terms of volumes and concentrations we verify:

V_{HCl}M_{HCl}=2*V_{Mg(OH)_2}M_{Mg(OH)_2}

So we use the given data to proof it:

4.3mL*0.417M=2*11.9mL*0.151M\\1.793=3.594

Therefore, we can conclude the data is wrong by means of the 2:1 mole ratio that for sure was not taken into account. This is also supported by the fact that normalities are actually the same, but the nomality of magnesium hydroxide is the half of the hydrochloric acid normality since the acid is monoprotic and the base has two hydroxyl ions.

Best regards.

How many milliliters of 0.125 M FeCl3 are needed to react with an excess of Na2S to produce 3.75 g of Fe2S3 if the percent yield
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

0.912 mL

Explanation:

3 Na2S(aq) + 2 FeCl3(aq) → Fe2S3(s) + 6 NaCl(aq)

FeCl3 is the limiting reactant.

Number of moles of iron III sulphide produced= 3.75g/87.92 g/mol = 0.043 moles

Hence actual yield of Iron III sulphide = 0.043 moles

Theoretical yield of Iron III sulphide = actual yield ×100%/ %yield

Theoretical yield of iron III sulphide= 0.043 ×100/75 = 0.057 moles of Iron III sulphide

From the reaction equation,

2moles of iron III chloride produced 1 mole of iron III sulphide

x moles of iron III chloride, will produce 0.057 of iron III sulphide

x= 2× 0.057= 0.114 moles of iron III chloride

But

Volume= number of moles/ concentration

Volume= 0.114/0.125

Volume= 0.912 mL
