The water molecule<span> has two </span>hydrogen<span> atoms joined to one </span>oxygen<span> atom by single covalent bonds. </span>Because oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen<span>, the electrons of the covalent bond spend </span>more <span>time closer to the </span>oxygen<span> then </span>hydrogen<span> which creates a polar covalent bond. Hope this answers your question. Have a great day!</span>

In an accident, a solution containing 2.5 kg of nitric acid was spilled. Two kilograms of Na2CO3 was quickly spread on the area
storchak [24]

First we must write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction

Na_2CO_3 _(_a_q_)+ 2HNO_3_(_a_q_) \implies 2NaNO_3_(_s_) + CO_2_(_g_) + H_2O_(_l_)

The mole ratio for the reaction between HNO_3 and Na_2CO_3 is 1:2. This means 1 moles of Na_2CO_3 will neutralize 2 moles HNO_3. Now we find the moles of each reactant based on the mass and molar mass.

2500g HNO_3 \times \frac{mol}{63.01g\ HNO_3} = 39.67 mol\ HNO_3

2000g\ Na_2CO_3 \times \frac{mol}{105.99g \ Na_2CO_3} = 18.87 mol\ Na_2CO_3

\frac{18.87 mol Na_2CO_3}{39.67\ HNO_3} = \frac{1 molNa_2CO_3}{2 mol HNO_3}

The Na_2CO_3 was enough to neutralize the acid because 18.87:39.67 is the same as 1:2 mol ratio.

A student writes the following explanation of how certain molecules are formed.A process is used to chemically link smaller unit
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

polymerization

Explanation:

Student is explaining the process of formation of a polymer and the process is called polymerization.

Polymer is made up of joining repeating units. The repeating units are called monomers.  

Properties of the polymer is determined by the structure of monomer molecule.

For example, consider a well-known polymer Teflon.is made by the polymerization of tetrafluoroethane.  

Thus, the student is explaining polymerization.
