Answer : The molecule $OF_2$ is a polar molecule.

Explanation :

Polar molecule : When the arrangement of the molecule is asymmetrical then the molecule is polar.

Non-polar molecule : When the arrangement of the molecule is symmetrical then the molecule is non-polar.

The given molecule is, $OF_2$

The electronegativities of oxygen and fluorine are different. The molecular geometry of $OF_2$ is bent. As, Fluorine is more elctronegative than the oxygen. So, the arrows putting towards the more electronegative element i.e, fluorine. These arrows do not balance each other. Due to this, the asymmetrical arrangement of these bonds makes the molecule polar.

Hence, the given molecule $OF_2$ is polar.

8. What is the heat of reaction when hydrogen and oxygen combine to form water?

valina [46]

Answer:

The heat of reaction when hydrogen and oxygen combine to form water is :

Explanation:

Enthalpy Change = The enthalpy change for the formation of 1 mole of the substance from their standard state is called the enthalpy of formation.

This is intensive quantity as it is fixed for 1 mole .

Intensive properties = Those properties which are independent on the amount of the substance are intensive properties.

The value of these quantities does not get halve if you divide the substance into two equal parts. example , density, refractive index.

However , the enthalpy of reaction is extensive. Because on increasing the amount the value of the enthalpy also get doubles

Hence for this reaction :

$2H_{2}(g)+O_{2}\rightarrow 2H_{2}(l)$

Its value is -285.8 kJ for 1 mole

And here two moles are present . so the value of molar enthalpy is:

-285.8 x 2 = -571.6 kJ

When an aqueous solution of AgNO3 is electrolyzed, a gas is observed to form at the anode. The gas is

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Oxygen

Explanation:

First, list out all the ions in the aqueous solution:

Ag+, NO3-

H+, OH-

In the anode, the substance lose electrons to undergo oxidation.

From the 4 ions, only OH- can lose electrons to form water and oxygen,

4OH- ---> O2 + 2H2O + 4e-

While others tend to gain electrons to form new substances instead (they undergo reduction).

Oxygen is the gas produced.

What happen in the dark reaction

Firdavs [7]

Answer

Dark reactions make use of these organic energy molecules (ATP and NADPH). This reaction cycle is also called Calvin Benison Cycle, and it occurs in the stroma. ATP provides the energy while NADPH provides the electrons required to fix the CO2 (carbon dioxide) into carbohydrates.
