Water is known as the universal solvent. One reason water makes a good solvent is because it is composed of polar molecules. Wha

t makes a water molecule a polar molecule?
A. The water molecule never develops a charge and is always neutral.
Water molecules are rod-shaped.
B. The water molecule has a negative charge at cold temperatures.
C. Water molecules have a positive charge on one end and a negative charge on
the other.

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A water molecule is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Its molecular formula is H_{2}O.

It is known that hydrogen is electropositive in nature whereas oxygen is electronegative in nature. Therefore, oxygen will pull the electron of hydrogen towards itself as a result, there will be formation of partial positive charge on hydrogen and partial negative charge on oxygen atom.

Thus, the water molecule becomes polar. So, we can conclude that water molecule is a polar molecule because water molecules have a positive charge on one end and a negative charge on  the other.

If 12.5 grams of strontium hydroxide is reacted with 150 mL of 3.5 M carbonic acid, identify the limiting reactant.
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Sr(OH)2

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole of carbonic acid in 150mL of 3.5 M carbonic acid solution. This is illustrated below:

Molarity = 3.5M

Volume = 150mL = 150/1000 = 0.15L

Mole of carbonic acid, H2CO3 =..?

Mole = Molarity x Volume

Mole of carbonic acid, H2CO3 = 3.5 x 0.15 = 0.525 mole.

Next, we shall convert 0.525 mole of carbonic acid, H2CO3 to grams.

Mole of H2CO3 = 0.525 mole

Molar mass of H2CO3 = (2x1) + 12 + (16x3) = 62g/mol.

Mass of H2CO3 =..?

Mass = mole x molar mass

Mass of H2CO3 = 0.525 x 62 = 32.55g

Next, we shall write the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

Sr(OH)2 + H2CO3 → SrCO3 + 2H2O

Next, we shall determine the mass of Sr(OH)2 and H2CO3 that reacted from the balanced equation. This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of Sr(OH)2 = 88 + 2(16 + 1) = 88 + 2(17) = 122g/mol

Mass of Sr(OH)2 from the balanced equation = 1 x 122 = 122g

Molar mass of H2CO3 = (2x1) + 12 + (16x3) = 62g/mol.

Mass of H2CO3 from the balanced equation = 1 x 62 = 62g.

From the balanced equation above, 122g of Sr(OH)2 reacted with 62g of H2CO3.

Finally, we shall determine the limiting reactant as follow:

From the balanced equation above, 122g of Sr(OH)2 reacted with 62g of H2CO3.

Therefore, 12.5g of Sr(OH)2 will react with = (12.5 x 62)/122 = 6.35g.

We can see evidently from the calculations made above that it will take 6.35g out 32.55g of H2CO3 to react with 12.5g of Sr(OH)2. Therefore, Sr(OH)2 is the limiting reactant and H2CO3 is the excess reactant
