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!

Answer:

Its shape is bent, and so since the oxygen is electronegative, it pulls the electrons towards itself.

Which best describes an oxidizing agent?

stellarik [79]

Answer:B) a reactant that undergoes reduction

Explanation:

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses electrons. The oxidation state of the substance increases during oxidation.

$M\rightarrow M^++e^-$

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced during reduction.

$N^++e^-\rightarrow N$

Overall reaction: $M+N^+\rightarrow M^++N$

The substance M which itself gets oxidized, reduces other and is called as reducing agent. The substance N which itself gets reduced, oxidizes other and is called as oxidizing agent.

Between 2014 and 2016, more than 25,000 children in Flint, Michigan, drank water that was contaminated with lead from lead pipes

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Regularly test the water in residents' homes.

Explanation:

The only way to know if tap water contains lead is to do tests to determine the levels of that metal in the water. Therefore, the state is under an obligation to constantly conduct such tests in the resident´s homes and thus determine whether the water supplied is fit for human consumption.

The state after the tests must guarantee the population the treatment of the water to reduce the levels of lead. The main pipes that contain lead pipes must be changed, as well as those parts of the service connections made of lead.

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Neither arre correct

Explanation:

Neither Anya nor Braden are correct. This is because if you use 90 degrees, 180 degrees, or even 270 degrees you will not get the exact image, which means that the image will not be found by just a rotation because there will be a curve in the image. You can solve it if you can do 90 degree rotation and translation.

The pressure of a 70.0L sample of gas is 600 mm Hg at 20.0C. If the temperature drops to 15.0C and the volume expands to 90.0L,

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

458.7 mmHg

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question. This includes:

Initial volume (V1) = 70L

Initial pressure (P1) = 600 mmHg

Initial temperature (T1) = 20°C

Final temperature (T2) = 15°C

Final volume (V2) = 90L

Final pressure (P2) =...?

Step 2:

Conversion of celsius temperature to Kelvin temperature.

This is illustrated below:

T(K) = T (°C) + 273

Initial temperature (T1) = 20°C

Initial temperature (T1) = 20°C + 273 = 293K

Final temperature (T2) = 15°C

Final temperature (T2) = 15°C + 273 = 288K

Step 3:

Determination of the new pressure of the gas.

The new pressure of the gas can be obtained by using the general gas equation as shown below:

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

600 x 70/293 = P2 x 90/288

Cross multiply to express in linear form

P2 x 90 x 293 = 600 x 70 x 288

Divide both side by 90 x 293

P2 = (600 x 70 x 288) / (90 x 293)

P2 = 458.7 mmHg

Therefore, the new pressure of the gas is 458.7 mmHg
