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.

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The time required to melt the frost is 3.25 hours.

Explanation:

The time required to melt the frost dependes on the latent heat of the frost and the amount of heat it is transfered by convection to the air .

The heat transferred per unit area can be expressed as:

$q=h_c*A*\Delta T\\\\q/A=h_c*\Delta T$

being hc the convective heat transfer coefficient (2 Wm^-2K^-1) and ΔT the difference of temperature (20-0=20 °C or K).

$q/A=h_c*\Delta T=2\frac{W}{m^2K}*20K=40\frac{W}{m^2}$

If we take 1 m^2 of ice, with 2 mm of thickness, we have this volume

$V=T*A = 0.002 m * 1 m^2=0.002m^3$

The mass of the frost can be estimated as

$M=\rho * V=700\frac{kg}{m^3}*0.002m^3= 1.4 kg$

Then, the amount of heat needed to melt this surface (1 m²) of frost is

$Q=L*M=334\frac{kJ}{kg}*1.4kg= 467.6kJ$

The time needed to melt the frost can be calculated as

$t=\frac{Q}{(q/A)}=\frac{467.6kJ/m2}{40W/m2} = 11.69\frac{kJ}{W}*\frac{1W*s}{1J}*\frac{1000J}{1kJ}= 11690s=3.25h$

rite stepwise equations for protonation or deprotonation of this polyprotic species in water. What are the products of the first

adoni [48]

<u>Answer:</u> The products of the given chemical equation are $HCO_3^-\text{ and }OH^-$

<u>Explanation:</u>

Protonation equation is defined as the equation in which protons get added in the substance.

The chemical equation for the protonation of carbonate ion in the presence of water follows:

$CO_3^{2-}+H_2O\rightarrow HCO_3^-+OH^-$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of carbonate ion reacts with 1 mole of water to produce 1 mole of hydrogen carbonate ion and 1 mole of hydroxide ion

Hence, the products of the given chemical equation are $HCO_3^-\text{ and }OH^-$

Why calcium oxide and magnesium oxide used as soil treatment

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Chemically speaking, lime refers only to calcium oxide

(CaO); however, in common usage the term includes the calcination products of calcitic and dolomitic limestones. Calcitic (high-calcium) limes are produced by calcination of

calcareous materials (e.g., calcitic limestone, calcite,

oyster shells, and chalk) containing from 95 to 99 percent

calcium carbonate (CaCO^). Dolomitic limes are produced from

dolomitic limestone or dolomite which contains from 30 to ^+0

percent magnesium carbonate (MgCO^), the rest being calcium

carbonate.

At atmospheric pressure, calcite in limestone decomposes

at approximately 900°C to form CaO and COg. The decomposition of dolomite, CaMg is a two-stage process. At

temperatures between 650°C to 750°C dolomite decomposes to

form MgO, CO^ and CaCO^. It is necessary to raise the temperature to 900°C to decompose the CaCO^ (15, 35)» This

phenomenon is extremely important, as is shown later.

Various investigators have studied the effects of stone

size, temperature, and time of calcination of commercial
