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 cube has a height of 8 cm and a mass of 457 g. What is its density?
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

the answer is b,  0.89

Explanation:

A cube has a height of 8 cm and a mass of 457 g. What is its density?

a. 233,984 g/cm

b.  0.89g/cm3

c. 1.12 g/cm3

Density = mass/volume

the volume of the cube is 8X8X8=512cm3

the mass is 457 gm

the density is 457/512 = 0.889 gm/cm3

the answer is b, 0.89

What role do hydrogen ions play in the electron transport chain high?
jeka94
They are pumped across the mitochondrial inner membrane against their concentration gradient (to where their concentration is high); as the H+ ions flow back to where their concentration is low, they drive ATP synthase to form ATP

  • vegetable soup

5. The substance is not uniform in appearance and each part of the mixture contains a combination of different ingredients in different ratios.

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

  • heterogeneous mixtures

6. If a solution is saturated, which of these is true?

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

  • More solvent can be dissolved

7. Which of these substances are molecules?

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

  • All compounds are molecules but not all molecules are compounds. Molecular oxygen (O2) and molecular nitrogen (N2) are not compounds because each is composed of a single element. So correct option is 3 and 4.

8. What makes a solution a homogeneous mixture?

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

  • It is uniform in composition.

9. When a solute is added to a solution, why does it remain homogeneous?

<em>Answer:</em>

  • The solute dissolves.

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

  • pure substance.

11. <em>How many chlorine (Cl) atoms would be in 4 molecules of salt (4 NaCl)?</em>

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

  • 4

12. <em>In a solution of salt and water, which component is the solute?</em>

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

  • Salt

13. These substances are all   H2O2,   Li , NaCl , O2

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

  • Pure Substances

14. If you have 5 grams of product after a chemical reaction, how many grams of reactants did you have at the start of the reaction?

<em>Answer:</em>

  • 5

15. What is the difference between a compound and a mixture?

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

  • A compound is a pure substance, but a mixture is not.

16. A firework exploding would be an example of a(n) ________.

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

  • Exothermic reaction

17. If Lavoisier heated 100 grams of powdered mercuric oxide to produce 93 grams of liquid mercury, how much oxygen would be released?

Solution

                       2HgO ==> 2Hg + O2

Mass of HgO = 100 g

Molar mass of HgO = 216.59 g/mol

Moles = mass/molar mass = 0.46 moles

From balance chemcial equation

   HgO :  O2

      2  =    1

    0.46 = (1 × 0.46 ) ÷ 2 = 0.23 moles

mass of O2 = moles× molar mass = 0.23 × 32 = 7.36 g

18. Using the Law of Conservation of Matter, determine the number of grams of iron sulfide (FeS) that will be produced in this reaction.

<em><u>Solution</u></em>

                         12g Fe + 64g S → _____ g FeS

  • According to Law of Conservation of Matter, The total mass of reactant is equal to total mass of  product , so the number of grams of iron sulfide (FeS) that will be produced in this reaction as follow.

                              12 + 64 = 76 g of FeS


Hope this Help.
