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.

Milk of magnesia has the chemical formula Mg(OH)2. What is the mass of 3.2 moles of milk of magnesia? The molar Mass of magnesiu
GenaCL600 [577]
To calculate the mass of milk of magnesia given, we need certain data like molar mass of the compound which needs the atomic mass of the atoms in the compound. We calculate as follows:

Molar mass of <span>Mg(OH)2 = 24.3 g/mol + (2 x (16 + 1.0)) = 58.30 g/mol

Mass = 3.2 mol (</span>58.30 g/mol) = 186.56 grams

In terms of energy what kind of system is a sealed glass terrarium on a windsill?
Snezhnost [94]
If the sealed glass is permeable to sunlight or to transfer of heat will be an open system, but if the sealed glass is a thermic glass and doesn't allow exchange of heat and exchange of solar energy (for example a mirrored glass that reflect the sunlight) and the terrarium is not exchanging energy with the surroundings will be a closed system. It is a question that doesn't specify too many details about the system in the study. It is hard to give a final answer without making some assumptions.

18. a) The materials that are in contact. The two materials and the nature of their surfaces. ...
b) The force pushing the two surfaces together. Pushing the surfaces together causes the more of the asperities to come together and increases the surface area in contact with each other.

19. the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its mass and velocity.

20. According to Newton's third law of motion, action force is equal to reaction but acts on two different bodies and in opposite directions. When a horse pushes the ground, the ground reacts and exerts a force on the horse in the forward direction. This force is able to overcome friction force of the cart and it moves.

21. The mass of an object is a measure of the object's inertial property, or the amount of matter it contains. The weight of an object is a measure of the force exerted on the object by gravity, or the force needed to support it. The pull of gravity on the earth gives an object a downward acceleration of about 9.8 m/s2.

22. R12. Mass is more fundamental because it is an intrinsic property of an object. Weight varies with location depending upon the acceleration due to gravity eg. for a mass m = 10kg on Earth it`s weight is W = mg = 10 x 10 = 100N.
