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.

How many molecules of isopently acetate C7H1402 are released (1x10^ -6g) in a typical bee sting
sashaice [31]

The  number of molecules of isopently acetate is  4.63  x 10¹⁵  molecules

 <u><em>calculation</em></u>

Step 1:  find the moles of isopently acetate( C₇H₁₄O₂)

moles  =  mass÷  molar mass

From periodic table the molar mass of C₇H₁₄O₂

= (12 x7 ) + (1 x14) +(16 x2) =130 g/mol

moles = 1 x10⁻⁶ g÷ 130 g/mol =  7  x 10⁻⁹ moles

step 2 ; use the Avogadro's  law  constant to calculate the number of molecules

That  is according to Avogadro's law  1 mole  = 6.02 x 10²³  molecules

                                                          7 x 10⁻⁹ moles = ?  molecules

<em>by cross multiplication</em>

= { (7 x 10⁻⁹ moles x  6.02 x10²³  molecules) / 1  mole} = 4.63 x 10¹⁵  molecules

At what temperature does uranium hexafluoride have a density of 0.5820 g/L at 0.5073 atm?
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

4204 K

Explanation:

Step 1: Data

<em>Given data</em>

  • Density of uranium hexafluoride (ρ): 0.5820 g/L
  • Pressure of uranium hexafluoride (P): 0.5073 atm

<em>Required data</em>

  • Universal gas constant (R): 0.08206 atm.L/mol.K
  • Molar mass of uranium hexafluoride (M): 352.02 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate the temperature of the gas

We will use the following expression derived from the ideal gas equation.

P × M = ρ × R × T

T = P × M/ρ × R

T = 0.5073 atm × (352.02 g/mol)/(0.5820 g/L) × (0.08206 atm.L/mol.K)

T = 4204 K

What is the total pressure of a gas mixture containing partial pressures of
Advocard [28]

Answer:

1.54 atm

Explanation:

By Dalton's Law Of partial pressure,

Total Pressure = Sum of all partial pressures

So,P= P1 + P2 + P3

Therefore, P=0.23+0.42+0.89

=1.54 atm

The electron configuration of an element is 1s22s22p63s1. Describe what most likely happens when an atom of this element comes n
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

The element with electron configuration 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ will most likely not react with an element having seven Valence electrons.

The electron configuration of the element in discuss is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.

The element has enough electrons to fill it's energy level, n = 2 shell.

In essence, the element in discuss is unreactive as it has attained it's octet configuration and as such is neither in need of an electron nor ready to donate an electron.

As such, although an atom having seven Valence electrons is highly electronegative and as such is an electron attractor, the element with the full octet configuration does not react with it.

This unreactive nature of noble gases is attributed to the full octet configuration of noble gases.

P.S: The electron configuration above is the electron configuration of Neon, Ne.
