In a covalent bond, the atoms bond by sharing electrons. Covalent bonds usually occur between nonmetals. For example, in water (H2O) each hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) share a pair of electrons to make a molecule of two hydrogen atoms single bonded to a single oxygen atom.

Comment on whether each of the following is a homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture: (a) air in a closed bottle, (b) ai

Colt1911 [192]

Explanation:

A mixture in which there is uniform distribution of solute particles into the solvent is known as a homogeneous mixture.

For example, sugar dissolved in water is a homogeneous mixture.

On the other hand, a mixture in which there is uneven distribution of solute particles into the solvent is known as a heterogeneous mixture.

For example, sand present in water is a heterogeneous mixture.

Comment on given situations will be as follows.

(a) Air in a closed bottle - It is a homogeneous mixture because there will be even distribution of other gases that are present in air.

(b) Air over New York City - It is a heterogeneous mixture because there will be presence of some dust particles, fog or smoke into the air. Distribution of all these particles will be uneven. This will make air over New York City heterogeneous in nature.

The freezing point of a nonelectrolyte solution containing 30.0 g of a solute dissolved in 250.0 g of water is observed to be -2

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Molar mass of solute is 89.28 g/m

Explanation:

Colligative property of freezing point depression to solve this:

ΔT = Kf . m . i

i = number of particles, dissolved in solution. In this case, it is a nonelectrolyte, so i = 1.

m = molalilty (mol of solute/1kg of solvent

ΔT = T° freeze pure solvent - T° freeze solution

0°C - (-2.50°C) = 1.86 °C/m . m

2.50°C / 1.86 m/°C = m

1.34 mol solute/kg solvent = m

This means, that in 1000 g of solvent, we have 1.34 moles but we have 250 g of solvent, so let's make a rule of three.

1000 g ____ 1.34 moles

250 g _____(2.50 . 1.34) / 1000 = 0.336 moles

To find the molar mass, we divide mass / moles

30 g/ 0.336 moles = 89.28 g/m

How do the chemical characteristics of carbon affect the characteristics of organic molecules?

Tom [10]

Answer:

The chemical characteristics of carbon affect the characteristics of organic molecules due to its tetravalent nature. It has four valence electrons in which it shares with other elements in order to form an octet configuration.

Carbon atoms are also capable of forming double and triple bonds with other atoms. These properties help determine the functional group present and gives us a knowledge of the chemical features such as polarity, melting and boiling present in the compound.
