Answer:

The right choice is c. Water molecules have a weakly positive hydrogen end.

Explanation:

The unequal sharing of electrons in water molecule gives a slight negative charge near its oxygen atom ( see image below) and a slight positive charge near its hydrogen atoms. A neutral molecule that has a partial positive charge at one end and a partial negative charge at the other, it is a polar molecule.

a. Water molecules have a nonpolar bond.

It is wrong choice because water has polar bond .

b. Water molecules have a weakly positive oxygen end.

Also, a wrong choice due to water molecule gives a slight negative charge near its oxygen atom.

c. Water molecules have a weakly positive hydrogen end.

This is the right choice.

d. Water molecules have two oxygen and two hydrogen atoms

It is wrong choice because water has one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms

<u>So, the right choice is</u>

c. Water molecules have a weakly positive hydrogen end.

A student wants to make a 0.600 M aqueous solution of barium sulfate, BaSO4, and has a bottle containing 12.00 g of barium sulfa

love history [14]

<u>Answer: </u>The volume of the solution is 85.7 mL

<u>Explanation:</u>

Molarity is defined as the amount of solute expressed in the number of moles present per liter of solution. The units of molarity are mol/L. The formula used to calculate molarity:

$\text{Molarity of solution}=\frac{\text{Given mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (mL)}}$ .....(1)

We are given:

Molarity of solution = 0.600 M

Given mass of $BaSO_4$ = 12.00 g

We know, molar mass of $BaSO_4=[(1\times 137.33)+(1\times 32.07)+(4\times 16)]=233.4g/mol$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.600=\frac{12.00\times 1000}{233.4\times \text{Volume of solution}}\\\\\text{Volume of solution}=\frac{12.00\times 1000}{233.4\times 0.600}=85.68mL=85.7mL$

The rule of significant number that is applied for the problems having multiplication and division:

The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.

Here, the least number of significant figures is 3 that is determined by the number, 0.600. Thus, the answer must have these many significant figures only.

Hence, the volume of the solution is 85.7 mL

What's the (snowy sour) mixture?

The Story Behind The Snowy Sour
As the air gets cooler and winter creeps in, I’m looking forward to the first snowfall of the season. This cocktail is all you will need to help you through. I took a classic sour cocktail and elevated it with a winter-citrus-infused simple syrup, made by combining clementine, orange, and honey with sugar and water. All the flavors came together really well, and the gin and fresh lemon juice amalgamate beautifully.

Ingredients In The Snowy Sour:

1.5 ounces gin
1 ounce lemon juice
¾ ounce winter citrus syrup
1 egg white
Snowy Sour Directions:

Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice.
Shake hard to chill and combine.
Strain out ice.
Shake hard again to create a silky consistency.
Finely strain into your cocktail glass.
Garnish and enjoy!
Winter Citrus Simple Syrup Ingredients:
2 ounces clementine juice
2 ounces orange juice
2 ounces honey
2 ounces sugar
1 cup water
Winter Citrus Simple Syrup Directions:
Combine all ingredients into a small saucepan.
Bring to a boil.
Remove from heat element and stir while cooling.
Allow to sit for 30 minutes to an hour.

The empirical formula of a group of compounds is CHCl. Lindane, a powerful insecticide, is a member of this group. The molar mas

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Explanation:

since, n = molar mass / empirical formula mass

Empirical formula mass = Total mass of atoms present in empirical formula

CHCl = 12+1+35.5

= 48.5

Given, Molar mass = 290.8 g.

So, n = 290.8/48.5

= 5.995 , that is approx 6.

So, Molecular formula = n × Empirical formula

= 6 × CHCl

= $C_{6}H_{6}Cl_{6}$

So, Number of C = 6
