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.

A sample of CO2 weighing 86.34g contains how many molecules?
irakobra [83]

Answer:

1.181 × 10²⁴ molecules CO₂

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Chemistry - Atomic Structure</u>

  • Reading a Periodic Table
  • Using Dimensional Analysis
  • Avogadro's Number - 6.022 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

86.34 g CO₂

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversion</u>

Avogadro's Number

Molar Mass of C - 12.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of CO₂ - 12.01 + 2(16.00) = 44.01 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

<u />86.34 \ g \ CO_2(\frac{1 \ mol \ CO_2}{44.01 \ g \ CO_2} )(\frac{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ molecules \ CO_2}{1 \ mol \ CO_2} ) = 1.18141 × 10²⁴ molecules CO₂

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>We are given 4 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.</em>

1.18141 × 10²⁴ molecules CO₂ ≈ 1.181 × 10²⁴ molecules CO₂

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

I cant answer B, but I can answer A, and I don't think it is  a scientifically reasonable plan.  

Explanation:

The bag of sand weighs less than the gold statue, and yes the bag of sand seems like it would keep the trap from activating, but you would scientifically have to put something that was the same weight as the gold statue on the pedestal that the statue is on.
