The permanent electric dipole moment of the water molecule 1H2O2 is 6.2 * 10-30 C m. What is the maximum possible torque on a wa
stellarik [79]

Answer:

3.1 x 10⁻²¹ Nm

Explanation:  

When placed in an external electric filed, an electric dipole experiences a torque. and this torque is represented mathematically with the equation:

torque (τ) = dipole moment vector (P) x electric field vector (E)

τ = P. E . sin θ

where θ is the angle between the water molecule and the electric field, which in this case is 90° (because this is where the torque is maximum)

τ = 6.2x10⁻³⁰Cm . 5.0x10⁸ N/C . sin90

τ = 6.2x10⁻³⁰Cm . 5.0x10⁸ N/C . 1

solve for τ

τ = 3.1 x 10⁻²¹ Nm

the maximum possible torque on the water molecule is therefore 3.1 x 10⁻²¹ Nm

1. How many moles of CO2 can be produced from a reaction of 10.0 moles CzHg?
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

20 moles of CO2 can be produced from a reaction of 10.0 moles C2H6

Explanation:

In this reaction -

2 moles of C₂H6 produces four molecules of Carbon dioxide (CO2)

So 1 mole of C₂H6 will produce \frac{4}{2} = 2 moles of Carbon dioxide (CO2)

Thus, 10 moles of C₂H6 will produce 2 * 10 = 20 moles of Carbon dioxide (CO2)
