Methylene chloride (CH2Cl2) has fewer chlorine atoms than chloroform (CHCl3). Nevertheless, methylene chloride has a larger mole

cular dipole moment than chloroform. Explain.
Chemistry
1 answer:
Talja [164]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation has been given below.

Explanation:

  • Chloroform has three polar C-Cl bonds. Methylene chloride has two polar C-Cl bonds. So it is expected that chloroform should be more polar and posses higher dipole moment than methylene chloride.
  • Two factors are liable for the opposite trend observed in dipole moments of methylene chloride and chloroform.
  • First one is the number of hyperconjugative hydrogen atoms present in a molecule. Hyperconjugation occurs with vacant d-orbital of Cl atom. Hyperconjugation amplifies charge separation in a molecule resulting higher dipole moment.
  • Methylene chloride has two hyperconjugative hydrogen atoms and chloroform has one hyperconjugative hydrogen atom.Therefore methylene chloride should have higher charge separation as compared to chloroform.
  • Second one is induction of opposite polarity in a C-Cl bond by another C-Cl bond in a molecule. Higher the opposite induction of polarity, lower the charge separation in a molecule and hence lower the dipole moment of a molecule.
  • Chloroform has three C-Cl bonds and methylene chloride has two C-Cl bonds. Therefore opposite induction is higher for chloroform resulting it's lower dipole moment.

The density of gas particles in a section of Earth’s atmosphere decreases. Which of the following is the most likely explanation
Bad White [126]
<span>This is due to the fact that the air pressure in that certain section of Earth’s atmosphere decreased. As density of gas particles decreases as air pressure decreases. Therefore, density of gas particles and air pressure have a direct relationship. An increase in air pressure would then effect to an increase in gas particles. </span>

The element carbon exists in several different forms. Pure carbon can be found in the form of diamonds, coal, and the graphite i
UNO [17]

Answer:

B) All carbon atoms have 6 neutrons.

Explanation:

The false statement from the given choices is that all carbon atoms have 6 neutrons.

There is a phenomenon called isotopy in chemistry.

Isotopy is the existence of two or more atoms of the same element having the same atomic number but different mass numbers due to the differences in the number of neutrons in their various nuclei.

  • These atoms of elements are called isotopes.
  • Carbon atoms generally have proton number of 6 which is the same as the atomic number.
  • As with all atoms, the mass number or atomic mass equals the number of protons and neutrons.

For the isotopes of carbon, their number of neutrons differs.

 For example:

            <em>¹²₆C                           ¹³₆C                        ¹⁴₆C</em>

The number of neutrons differs in the above isotopes.

 Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number;

    ¹²₆C  , number of neutrons  = 12 - 6  = 6

      ¹³₆C, number of neutrons  = 13 - 6  = 7

       ¹⁴₆C, number of neutrons = 14 - 6  = 8

Therefore, based on the concept of isotopy, all carbon atoms do not have 6 neutrons.

Which unit conversion allows you to convert 21.0 gallons into milliliters?
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Explanation:

we are given

there are in 0.073 gallons

we can see that there are two non-zero places after decimals

so, there are two siginificant figures

step-1: Change gallons to quarts

we know that

1 gallon = 4 quarts

so, we can write as

step-2: Change into liter

we know that

1 liter = 1.057 quarts

or

step-3: Change into millilitre

we know that

Since, it is asking for only two significant figures

so, we can also write as

a rectangular piece of aluminum foil measures 13.72 cm x 8.63 cm and has a mass of 3.1 g. Find how thick it is
Leona [35]

The two dimensions of aluminum foil are given 13.72 cm and 8.63 cm respectively with mass  3.1 g.

The density of aluminum is 2.7 g/cm^{3}. It is defined as mass per unit volume thus, volume of aluminum can be calculated as follows:

V=\frac{m}{d}

Putting the values.

V=\frac{3.1 g}{2.7 g/cm^{3}}=1.148 cm^{3}

The volume of cuboid is l\times b\times h, the length and breadth are given, height can be calculated as follows;

h=\frac{V}{l\times b}

Putting the values,

h=\frac{1.148 cm^{3}}{(13.72 cm)(8.63 cm)}=0.009695 cm

Or, approximately 9.7\times 10^{-3}cm

Therefore, thickness of aluminum foil is 9.7\times 10^{-3}cm
