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.

Kepler was able to determine that the planets move slowest when they are _____.

kherson [118]

Planets move slower when they are furthest from the sun. But when they are closer they move faster because of the gravitational pull of the Sun.

Hope this helps.

The amount of gas that occupies 36.52 L at 68.0°C and 672 mm Hg is __________ mol.

ASHA 777 [7]

We assume that this gas is an ideal gas. We use the ideal gas equation to calculate the amount of the gas in moles. It is expressed as:

PV = nRT
(672) (1/760) (36.52) = n (0.08206) ( 68 +273.15)
n = 1.15 mol of gas

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Which statement is always true of the cathode in an electrochemical cell? Reduction occurs here. It is considered the "negative"

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

It Is Considered The "negative" Electrode

Explanation:

An electrochemical cell is an electrolytic cell that drives a non-spontaneous redox reaction through the application of electrical energy. This cell is used to decompose chemical compounds, in a process called electrolysis. An electrode at which reduction take place is called the cathode. In reduction, electrons travel toward the site of reduction such that the negative charge is on the cathode.

The Density of pure carbon in Diamond form is 3.52 g/cm^3. How many cubic inches would 23.7 moles of pure diamond occupy?

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer : The volume of pure diamond is $0.493inch^3$

Explanation : Given,

Density of pure carbon in diamond = $3.52g/cm^3$

Moles of pure diamond = 23.7 moles

Molar mass of carbon = 12 g/mol

First we have to calculate the mass of carbon or pure diamond.

$\text{ Mass of carbon}=\text{ Moles of carbon}\times \text{ Molar mass of carbon}$

Molar mass of carbon = 12 g/mol

$\text{ Mass of carbon}=(23.7moles)\times (12g/mole)=284.4g$

Now we have to calculate the volume of carbon or pure diamond.

Formula used:

$Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}$

Now putting all the given values in this formula, we get:

$3.52g/cm^3=\frac{284.4g}{Volume}$

Volume = $80.8cm^3$

As we know that:

$1cm^3=0.061inch^3$

So,

Volume = $0.061\times 80.8inch^3$

Volume = $0.493inch^3$

Therefore, the volume of pure diamond is $0.493inch^3$

Dana is trying to determine if an unknown sample is a pure substance or not. The sample has a cloudy white color, and it seems e

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Dana filtered the sample and larger granules of the sample were left behind.

Explanation:

If a substance is pure, it will have a uniform composition throughout. It will not separate into particles of various sizes.

One of the characteristics of pure substances is that they are homogeneous. A mixture is definitely made up of particles of various sizes.

Since the particles was filtered and larger granules were left behind, the sample has been separated by a physical method (filtration). Only a mixture can be separated by physical methods. It is not a pure substance.
