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.

C. the square root of 2gh

Explanation:

The square root of 2gh is equivalent to Torricelli's law in the equation.

  given expression:

         \frac{1}{2} m v² = mgh

 to find v, we make it the subject of the expression:

    *multiply both sides of the equation by 2:

             

                     2 x( \frac{1}{2} m v² )= 2 (mgh)

                                      mv²  = 2mgh

    *cancel the mass, m appearing on both sides:

                                    v²  = 2gh

  * find the square root of both side

                                     v = √2gh

What is the total number of moles represented by 20 grams of CACO3
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

B. 0.2.

Explanation:

  • We can use the relation:

<em>n = mass/molar mass</em>

mass of CaCO₃ = 20 g, molar mass of CaCO₃ = 100.0869 g/mol.

<em>∴ n = mass/molar mass = </em>(20 g)/(100.0869 g/mol) <em>= 0.1998 ≅ 0.2 mol.</em>

<em></em>

<em>So, the right choice is: B. 0.2.</em>
