As it dissolves a large number of solid, liquid and gaseous substances it's called a universal solvent. It's important for living thing because all of them depend on water to survive. For example, many organisms live in the water and they find some of the nutrients that are necessary for live dissolved in water - gases included.

Can anyone explain dipoles in chemistry?
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A dipole refers to a bond in which its two ends have opposite charges. A dipole results from a large difference in electronegativity between two atoms in a bond.

For instance, consider the bond between hydrogen and chlorine in HCl. The electronegativity of hydrogen is 2.2 while that of chlorine is 3.16. The significant electronegativity difference between the two atoms leads to a charge separation.

A partial positive charge appears on the atom that is less electronegative (hydrogen) while a negative charge appears on the more electronegative atom (chlorine).

This charge separation occurs because the shared electrons of the bond are more closely attracted to chlorine making it partially negative compared to hydrogen. A dipole moment now exists in the H-Cl bond hence the molecule is said to have a dipole.

What does the position of lithium (Li) on the periodic table tell you about its tendency to react with other elements?
Karolina [17]
For metals (lithium) reactivity increases down a group and from right to left across a period. So lithium is not that reactive. I think ‍♀️

Nickel carbonyl, Ni(CO)4 is one of the most toxic substances known. The present maximum allowable concentration in laboratory ai
vodomira [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of Ni(CO)_4 allowable in the laboratory is 4599.5 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the volume of cuboid, we use the equation:

V=l\times b\times h

where,

V = volume of cuboid

l = length of cuboid = 14 ft

b = breadth of cuboid = 22 ft

h = height of cuboid = 9 ft

Putting values in above equation, we get:

V=14\times 22\times 9=2772ft^3=78503.04L     (Conversion factor:  1ft^3=28.32L

To calculate the moles of gas, we use the equation given by ideal gas which follows:

PV=nRT

where,

P = pressure of the gas = 1.00 atm

V = Volume of the gas = 78503.04 L

T = Temperature of the gas = 23^oC=[23+273]K=296K

R = Gas constant = 0.0821\text{ L. atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

n = number of moles of hydrogen gas = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1.00atm\times 78503.04L=n\times 0.0821\text{ L.atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 296K\\\\n=\frac{1.00\times 78503.04}{0.0821\times 296}=3230.4mol

Applying unitary method:

For every 109 moles of gas, the moles of Ni(CO)_4 present are 1 moles

So, for 3230.4 moles of gas, the moles of Ni(CO)_4 present will be = \frac{1}{109}\times 3230.4=26.94mol

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Moles of Ni(CO)_4 = 26.94 moles

Molar mass of Ni(CO)_4 = 170.73 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

26.94mol=\frac{\text{Mass of }Ni(CO)_4}{170.73g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of }Ni(CO)_4=(26.94mol\times 170.73g/mol)=4599.5g

Hence, the mass of Ni(CO)_4 allowable in the laboratory is 4599.5 grams
