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.

A chemistry graduate student is given 125.mL of a 1.00M benzoic acid HC6H5CO2 solution. Benzoic acid is a weak acid with =Ka×6.3
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

53.9 g

Explanation:

When talking about buffers is very common the problem involves the use of the Henderson Hasselbach formula:

pH = pKa + log [A⁻]/[HA]

where  [A⁻] is the concentration of the conjugate base of the weak acid HA, and [HA] is the concentration of the weak acid.

We can calculate pKₐ from the given kₐ ( pKₐ = - log Kₐ ), and from there obtain the ratio  [A⁻]/HA].

Since we know the concentration of HC6H5CO2 and the volume of solution, the moles and mass of KC6H5CO2  can be determined.

So,

4.63 = - log ( 6.3 x 10⁻⁵ ) + log [A⁻]/[HA] = - (-4.20 ) + log [A⁻]/[HA]

⇒ log [A⁻]/[HA]  = 4.63 - 4.20 =  log [A⁻]/[HA]

0.43 = log [A⁻]/[HA]

taking antilogs to both sides of this equation:

10^0.43 =  [A⁻]/[HA] = 2.69

 [A⁻]/ 1.00 M = 2.69 ⇒ [A⁻] = 2.69 M

Molarity is moles per liter of solution, so we can calculate how many moles of  C6H5CO2⁻ the student needs to dissolve  in 125. mL ( 0.125 L ) of a 2.69 M solution:

( 2.69 mol C6H5CO2⁻ / 1L ) x 0.125 L  = 0.34 mol C6H5CO2⁻

The mass will be obtained by multiplying 0.34 mol times molecular weight for KC6H5CO2 ( 160.21 g/mol ):

0.34 mol x 160.21 g/mol = 53.9 g

A graduated cylinder is filled with 34.4 mL of water. A toy Car that weighs 43.672-g is Gently placed in the cylinder and the wa
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:9.49g/mL

Explanation:

Mass of toy = 43.672g

Volume of water = 34.4mL

Volume of toy + volume of water = 39mL

Volume of toy = 39 — 34.4 = 4.6mL

Density = Mass /volume

Density = 43.672/4.6 = 9.49g/mL

A and b are two gases that are mixed together: 2.50 mol a is mixed with 0.850 mol b. if the final pressure of the mixture is 1.7
USPshnik [31]

Partial pressure of gas A is 1.31 atm and that of gas B is 0.44 atm.

The partial pressure of a gas in a mixture can be calculated as

Pi = Xi x P

Where Pi is the partial pressure; Xi is mole fraction and P is the total pressure of the mixture.

Therefore we have Pa = Xa x P and Pb = Xb x P

Let us find Xa and Xb

Χa = mol a/ total moles = 2.50/(2.50+0.85) = 2.50/3.35 = 0.746

Xb = mol b/total moles = 0.85/(2.50+0.85) = 0.85/3.35 = 0.254

Total pressure P is given as 1.75 atm

Pa = Xa x P = 0.746 x 1.75 = 1.31atm

Partial pressure of gas A is 1.31 atm

Pb = Xb x P = 0.254 x 1.75 = 0.44atm

Partial pressure of gas B is 0.44 atm.
