Explanation:

A polar covalent bond is formed due to unequal sharing of electrons between the combining atoms.

For example, HCl is a polar covalent compound.

This is because of the difference in electronegativities of both hydrogen and chlorine, partial opposite charges tend to develop on the hydrogen and chlorine atoms.

Whereas CHCl_{3} is a non-polar compound and when HCl is added to it then HCl being polar in nature is unable to dissolve.

On the other hand, water is a polar compound and when HCl is dissolved in it then it will dissociate into hydrogen and chlorine ions.

As electricity is the flow of ions or electrons. Therefore, HCl in water is able to conduct electricity because it dissociates into ions.

Therefore, we can conclude that HCl in water exists as H^{+} and Cl^{-} ions. And, HCl in CHCl_{3} exists as HCl.

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) dissociate on positive ions or cations of hydogen (H⁺) and negative ions or anions of chlorine (Cl⁻). When there is free cations and ions, water solution can conduct electricity. Chloroform do not dissociate on ions in water, because that is not polar molecule, so chloroform is in molecular form in solution.

A mixture of 14.2 g of H2 and 36.7 g of Ar is placed in a 100.0 L container at
TiliK225 [7]

a) The total pressure of the system is  1.79 atm

b) The mole fraction and partial pressure of hydrogen is  0.89 and 1.59 atm respectively

c) The mole fraction and the partial pressure  of argon is 0.11 and 0.19 atm.

<h3>What is the total pressure?</h3>

We know tat we can be able to obtain the total pressure in the system by the use of the ideal gas equation. We would have from the equation;

PV = nRT

P = pressure

V = volume

n = Number of moles

R = gas constant

T = temperature

Number of moles of hydrogen = 14.2 g/2g = 7.1 moles

Number of moles of Argon = 36.7 g/40 g/mol

= 0.92 moles

Total number of moles =  7.1 moles + 0.92 moles = 8.02 moles

Then;

P = nRT/V

P = 8.02 * 0.082 * 273/100

P = 1.79 atm

Mole fraction of hydrogen = 7.1/8.02 = 0.89

Partial pressure of hydrogen =  0.89 * 1.79 atm

= 1.59 atm

Mole fraction of argon = 0.92 / 8.02

= 0.11

Partial pressure of argon = 0.11  *  1.79 atm

= 0.19 atm

Which of the following best explains why you sanded the copper wire before burning it? to create less friction between the coppe
artcher [175]

The copper wire was sanded before burning in order to make sure that copper metal was exposed on the surface of the wire.

Answer: B

Explanation

The copper wire when placed in atmosphere without coating leads to oxidation of copper metal with respect to the impurities present in the atmosphere.

As copper is electropositive in nature, so electronegative ions present in the universe will try to react with copper and the copper will react easily with other elements.

So generally copper wire is coated with color or polymer coating.

In this case, the copper wire without any coating is sanded, so that the eddy sheets or polishing materials on friction with copper wire will remove the impurities by the electrostatic law of conservation of charges and charge transfer.

As the impurities are removed when copper wire is sanded, the copper atoms will be exposed on the surface of the wire leading to burning of copper in the copper wire.
