Which of the following best explains the polarity of water (H2O)?

Chemistry
1 answer:
34kurt3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

B). Electrons are more attracted to the oxygen atom, so there is a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom.

Explanation:

The above statement most aptly describes the polarity or uneven distribution of the density of electrons. In water, two hydrogen atoms and one atom of oxygen leading to the formation of polar covalent bonds. Thus, <u>there is the presence of a partial negative charge close to the oxygen atom and partial positive charge near the hydrogen atom as the former has unshared pair of electrons</u>. This polarity of water allows it to dissolve sugar or other ionic substances in it. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.

a chemical company makes pure silver by reacting silver nitrate with Zinc. the company needs to make 800 grams of pure silver fo
shutvik [7]

The reaction between zinc and silver nitrate is

Zn + 2 AgNO3 \rightarrow  Zn(NO3)2 + 2 Ag

Moles of Zn = m /M = 599 /65 = 9.2 mol

Moles of AgNO3 = m /M = 1500 /169 = 8.87 mol

Silver nitrate is reacting completely to give silver

Thus, moles of Silver nitrate is equivalent to silver = 8.87

For mass of silver produced

m /M = 8.87 = m /107

m = 949.24 g

Hence, the given quantity of reactants are sufficient to produce 800 g of silver as the amount of silver produced is 949.24 g

Can someone explain to me the differences between atom vs molecule vs compound vs element with examples? HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
sveta [45]
An element is a substance made from only one type of atom (e.g. oxygen is an element made up of only oxygen atoms).

An atom is the simplest form of an element that can exist, such as a lithium atom (Li).

Atoms of different elements can be combined together to create compounds, e.g sodium oxide (Na2O).

A molecule is a combination of 2 or more atoms that form chemical bonds. When these atoms are of the same element, they can be called molecules (e.g. O3 - ozone).

However when a molecule is made up of atoms of different elements, they are classified as compounds (e.g. CO2 - carbon dioxide).
So all compounds are molecules, but not all molecules are compounds.

Which of the following processes is endothermic? Group of answer choices water droplets condensing on a soda can on a hot summer
fgiga [73]

Answer: an ice pack getting cold (due to ammonium nitrate dissolving in water inside the pack)

Explanation:

Endothermic reactions: These are the reactions in which energy is required in the reaction. The energy of the products are more than the energy of the reactants.

Exothermic reactions: These are the reactions in which energy is released in the reaction. The energy of the products is less than the energy of the reactants.

a) water droplets condensing on a soda can on a hot summer day : As the gaseous molecules are changing into liquid phase, energy is released and is exothermic

b) an ice pack getting cold (due to ammonium nitrate dissolving in water inside the pack) : As the temperature is decreasing , energy is absorbed by the surroundings and thus is endothermic

c) thermite reaction between iron(III) oxide and aluminium (spectacular flames are observed)  : As flames are produced, the energy is released and thus is exothermic

d) freezing water to make ice cubes  : As the liquid molecules are changing into solid phase, energy is released and is exothermic
