Answer: The correct answer is Option B.

Explanation:

A covalent bond is formed when sharing of electrons takes place between the atoms combining. The atom which attracts the shared pair of electron towards itself is more electronegative and the atom which does not attracts the shared pair of electron towards itself is less electronegative.

In HCl molecule, more electronegative atom is chlorine atom having an electronegativity of 3.16 and hydrogen has an electronegativity of 2.1

So, majority of shared electrons will be found near to the chlorine atom in hydrochloric molecule.

Hence, the correct answer is Option B.

Calculate the molarity of a solution obtained dissolving 10.0 g of cobalt(Ⅱ) bromide tetrahydrate in enough water to make 450 mL

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

The molarity of the CoBr2•4H2O solution is 7.64 × 10-2 M

Explanation:

Cobalt (II) bromide tetrahydrate

• Cobalt - A transition metal with Roman numeral (II) → charge: +2 → Co2+

• Bromide - anion from group 7A → -1 charge → symbol: Br-

• Tetrahydrate- tetra- means 4 and hydrate is H2O

The chemical formula of the compound is: CoBr2•4H2O

We then need to determine the number of moles of CoBr2•4H2O since this is the only information missing for us to find molarity. Notice that the volume of the solution is already given.

We’re given the mass of CoBr2•4H2O. We can use the molar mass of CoBr2•4H2O4 to find the moles.

•The molar mass of CoBr2•4H2O is:

CoBr2•4H2O

1 Co x 58.93 g/mol Co = 58.93 g/mol

2 Br x 79.90 g/mol Br = 159.80 g/mol

8 H x 1.008 g/mol H = 8.064 g/mol

4 O x 16.00 g/mol O = 64.00 g/mol

________________________________________

Sum = 290.79 g/ mo

The moles of CoBr2•4H2O is:

= 10.0 g CoBr2•4H2O x $\frac{ 1 mol CoBr_2 . 4H_2O}{290.79 g CoBr_2 . 4H_2O}$

= 0.0344 mol CoBr2•4H

We know that the volume of the solution is 450 mL.

We can now calculate for molarity:

Convert mL to L → 1 mL = 10-3 L

Formula:

Molarity (M)= Mole of solute / Liters of solution

= 0.0344 mol CoBr2•4H / 450 mL x 1 ml / 10^ -3 L

= 0.0764

= 7.64 × 10-2 mol/L

Based on the kinetic molecular theory, which of the following statements is correct about the particles in a sample of gas at a

fgiga [73]

Answer:

There is a lot of empty space between them.

Explanation:

The kinetic molecular theory postulates that a substance is made up of tiny particles called molecules. The molecules of a gas are in constant random motion and collide elastically with each other. They also collide with the walls of the container.

The magnitude of intermolecular forces of attraction between gas molecules is very small. Hence gas molecules are largely apart with a lot of empty space between gas molecules.

Making a pancake from batter is an example of blank change

lesantik [10]

Answer is: chemical.

Making a pancake from batter is chemical change (chemical reaction), because new substances are formed, the atoms are rearranged and the reaction is followed by an energy change.

Batter is thin dough that is poured into a pan to make pancakes.

In physical change, the same substance is present before and after the psysical change, just with different form or state of matter.
