Why is CF4 a non polar molecule, even though it contains polar bonds?

Chemistry
1 answer:
adell [148]4 years ago
7 0
The molecule is symmetric, a tetrahedron. Thus, the 4 polar bonds cancel each other out. (It is easier to see with a one dimensional molecule like CO2, which is linear with the C in the middle. The 2 polar bonds cancel each other.

Do you think creativity can contribute to scientific inquiry and investigation? Provide an example and explain your answer.
frez [133]

Creativity is often defined as the ability to generate innovative ideas and manifest them from thought into reality. Any science experiment that is being done for the first time is creative because it's an innovative idea that's being transformed into reality by creating/doing the experiment.

If the temperature of air in gabor's lungs is 37∘c (98.6∘f), and the volume is 6l, how many moles of air n must be released by t
umka21 [38]
Missing question:
Suppose Gabor, a scuba diver, is at a depth of 15 m. Assume that:
1. The air pressure in his air tract is the same as the net water pressure at this depth. This prevents water from coming in through his nose.
2. The temperature of the air is constant (body temperature).
3. The air acts as an ideal gas.
4. Salt water has an average density of around 1.03 g/cm^3, which translates to an increase in pressure of 1.00 atm for every 10.0 m of depth below the surface. Therefore, for example, at 10.0 m, the net pressure is 2.00 atm.

T = 37°C = 310 K.
p₁ = 2,5 atm = 253,313 kPa.
p₂ = 1 atm = 101,325 kPa.
Ideal gas law: p·V = n·R·T.
n₁ = 253,313 kPa · 6 L ÷ 8,31 J/mol·K · 310 K.
n₁ = 0,589 mol.
n₂ = 101,325 kPa · 6 L ÷ 8,31 J/mol·K · 310 K.
n₂ = 0,2356 mol.
Δn = 0,589 mol - 0,2356 mol = 0,3534 mol.
