Answer:

Water (H2O) is polar due to the  bent shape of the molecule. The shape means most of the negative charge from the oxygen is one one side of the molecule and the positive charge of the hydrogen atoms is on the other side of the molecule. This is an example of polar covalent chemical bonding.

Hope this helps!

What is the molarity of 122.5 g of AlCl3 in 1.0 L of solution? (MM = 133 g/mol)
yawa3891 [41]
Answer: Molarity is defined as moles of solute per liter of solution. So, find the moles of solute and divide by the liters of solution.
molar mass AlCl3 = 133g/mole
moles AlCl3 = 127 g x 1 mole/133 g = 0.955 moles
liters of solution = 400 ml x 1 liter/1000 ml = 0.400 liters
Molarity = 0.955 moles/0.400 liters = 2.39 M

Why are scientists worried that climate change will cause these toxic algae blooms to become more frequent?
ipn [44]

Answer: Eutrophication is the enhancement of the growth of algae in the water body.

Explanation:

The scientists are worried for the climate change as if the climate changed to prolonged rainy then the frequent raining can remove toxic chemicals from the agricultural sites, landfills, industries, and from other locations and deposit them to the water body (river, lakes, ponds, and others). The deposition of the salts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur promotes the growth of algae in the water body. This leads to reduction in the concentration of oxygen in the water body. This is called eutrophication. The lack of oxygen can lead to mortality of aquatic animals.

Which statement about the density of warm water is most likely correct?
Damm [24]
Density is a property of a material which describes the mass of a material per unit volume. Density is said to be slightly dependent on temperature. We look at the density of water at different temperatures:
<span>
100 </span>°C: 958.4 kg/m^360 °C: 983.2 kg/m^320 <span>°C</span>: 998.2 kg/m^3

Therefore, warm water has a lower density than water in colder temperature.
