Which statement justifies that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a polar molecule?

Rudik [331]3 years ago

To determine whether a compound is polar or nonpolar you have to take into account:

1) formation of dipoles due to the difference in electronegativities of the atoms

2) shape of the molecule to conclude whether there is a net dipole momentum.

You already, likely, know that the electronegativities of H and O are significatively different, being O more electronegative thatn H. So, you can conclude easilty that the electrons are atracted more by O than by H, thus creating two dipoles H→O

Regarding the shape, it may appear that the molecule is symmetrical, which would lead to the cancellation of the two dipoles. But that is not the true. The H2O2 is not symmetrical.

The lewis structure just show this shape

      **   **
H - O - O - H
      **   **

which is what may induce to think that the molecule is symmetrical, leading to the misconception that it is nonpolar.

But in a three dimensional arrangement you could see that the hydrogens are placed in non symmetrical positions, which leads to the formation of a net dipole momentum, and thus to a polar molecule.

The fact that H2O2 is a polar compound is the reason why it can be mixed with water and the H2O2 that you buy in the pharmacy is normally a solution in water.

So, the hydrogen peroxide is polar because the hydrogens are not placed symmetrically in the molecule, which result in a net dipole momentum.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[Given] 1.00 × 10²⁴ atoms Mn

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Avogadro's Numer

[PT] Molar Mass of Mn - 54.94 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

  1. [DA] Set up:                                                                                                      \displaystyle 1.00 \cdot 10^{24} \ atoms \ Mn(\frac{1 \ mol \ Mn}{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ atoms \ Mn})(\frac{54.94 \ g \ Mn}{1 \ mol \ Mn})
  2. [DA] Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units]:                                                           \displaystyle 91.2321 \ g \ Mn

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

An order is given to administer methylprednisolone, an anti-inflammatory drug, by IV at a rate of 39 mg every 30 min. The IV bag
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The Flow rate = 0.0208 mL/min

Explanation:

Data provided:

Rate of dose = 39 mg every 30 min = (39/30) mg/min  = 1.3 mg/min

also,

125mg of methylprednisolone is present in every 2 mL

thus,

concentration = (125/2) mg/mL = 62.5 mg/mL

Now,

The flow rate is given as:

Flow rate = Rate / Concentration

on substituting the respective values, we get

Flow rate = (1.3 mg/min) / (62.5mg/mL)

or

The Flow rate = 0.0208 mL/min
