Describe the molecular structure of water and explain why the water molecule is polar

Chemistry
1 answer:
pentagon [3]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

Hybridization of O in H_2O = sp^3

So, water molecule has four hybrid orbitals.

Two hybrid orbitals form 2 sigma bond with two H atoms.

Remaining two hybrid orbitals are occupied by two lone pairs.

Because of lone pair-lone pair repulsion, shape of H_2O becomes bent.

Water molecule is polar because of difference in eletronegativities of O and H.

O is more electronegative as comapared to hydrogen. So bonding electrons get attracted towards O atom which results in the development of partial negative charge on O atom and partial positive charge on H atoms.

Because of development of partial negative and partial positive charge, water molecule becomes polar.

A 2.1−mL volume of seawater contains about 4.0 × 10−10 g of gold. The total volume of ocean water is about 1.5 × 1021 L. Calcula
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Total worth of gold in the ocean = $5,840,000,000,000,000

Explanation:

As stated in the question above, 4.0 x 10^-10 g of gold was present in 2.1mL of ocean water.

Therefore, In 1 L of ocean water there will be,

(4.0 x 10^-10)/0.0021

= 1.9045 x 10^-7 g of gold per Liter of ocean water.

So in 1.5 x 10^-21 L of ocean water, there will be

(1.9045 x 10^-7) * (1.5 x 10^-21)

= 2.857 x 10^14 g of gold in the ocean.

1 gram of gold costs $20.44, that is 20.44 dollars/gram. The total cost of the gold present in the ocean is

20.44 * (2.857 x 10^14)

= $5,840,000,000,000,000
