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.

What is the oxidation state of Hg in Hg2Cl2?​
Anna [14]

Answer:

+1

Explanation:

Electrochemistry. In oxidation–reduction (redox) reactions, electrons are transferred from one A redox reaction is balanced when the number of electrons lost by the reductant Hg(l)∣Hg2Cl2(s)∣Cl−(aq) ∥ Cd2+(aq)∣Cd(s).

As is evident from the Stock number, mercury has an oxidation state of +1. This makes sense, as chlorine usually has an oxidation state of -1.

12.5 mL of 0.280 M HNO3 and 5.0 mL of 0.920 M KOH are mixed. Is the resulting solution acidic, basic or neutral?
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

The resulting solution is basic.

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

  • HNO₃ + KOH → KNO₃ + H₂O

First we <u>calculate the added moles of HNO₃ and KOH</u>:

  • HNO₃ ⇒ 12.5 mL * 0.280 M = 3.5 mmol HNO₃
  • KOH ⇒ 5.0 mL * 0.920 M = 4.6 mmol KOH

As <em>there are more KOH moles than HNO₃,</em> the resulting solution is basic.

I WILL MARK YOU BRAINLIST PLEASE HELP
tekilochka [14]

Answer:  See below

Explanation:  a.  The mass of an element is composed of:

protons:     1 amu each

neutrons:   1 amu each

electrons:   0 amu each

Only the protons and neutrons are counted in the atomic mass of an element

b.  Electrons are assigned a mass of 0.  They do have a mass, but it is exceedingly small compared to the protons and neutrons, so they are left out of the calculation of an element's mass.

c.  An element becomes unstable if the neutrons exceed the protons by a certain ratio, dependent on the element.
