A molecule of carbon dioxide (CO2) contains two polar covalent bonds. Why is the molecule nonpolar?

Chemistry
1 answer:
DaniilM [7]4 years ago
4 0
The molecule is non-polar, because the difference in electronegativity between the two sides of the structure equals 0. The electronegativity difference between O (3.5) and C(2.5) is 1 and also on the other side, cancelling each other.

Which halogen is the most easily oxidized?
Tanya [424]
The Halogen that is most likely easy to be oxidised would be the Iodine. In addition, the property that makes the Iodine ideal for oxidation is due to the fact that its d-orbital contains more electrons compared to other halogens such as fluorine where oxidation would tend to be difficult to occur on the element.

Alyssa is trying to balance the following equation: Pb(OH)2 + 2H2SO4 => PbSO4 + 2H20 What number should be used to replace th
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

2 Pb(OH)2 + 2H2SO4 => 2 PbSO4 + 4 H20

Explanation:

Since there's no "?" shown in the equation, let's balance it and solve it entirely.

Pb(OH)2 + 2H2SO4 => PbSO4 + 2H20

1Pb + 10O + 6H + 2S ≠ 1Pb + 6O + 4H + 1S → it needs to be balanced.

To do this, let's start by looking at the elements that are only presnet once on each side:

On the products half, S is only present in PbSO4 → if we look at the reagents half, we can see it needs a "2" → then Pb is multiplied by 2 too → so Pb(OH)2 on the reagents half will also need a "2" → final count on O and H on the reagents side: 12O and 8H  → to balance it, you need 4 water molecules on the products side.

The complex [FeSCN]2+ has an absorptivity of 6.14×10−2 L/(mg⋅cm) at a wavelength of 580 nm. The transmittance of a solution samp
klio [65]

Answer:

4.36 ppm

Explanation:

First we convert percent transmittance to absorbance:

  • A = 2 - log(%T)
  • A = 0.268

Then we <u>calculate the concentration of the solution</u>, using <em>Lambert-Beer's equation</em>:

  • A = ε*l*C

It is usually used with molar concentrations but given that the given absortivity is in ppm terms and the answer is also in ppm, we can simply use the given value.

  • 0.268 = 6.14x10⁻²L·ppm⁻¹ * 1.00 cm * C
  • C = 4.36 ppm

Copper has two naturally occurring isotopes. Cu−63 has a mass of 62.939 amu and relative abundance of 69.17%.
fiasKO [112]
The answer is 64.907 amu.

The atomic mass of an element is the average of the atomic masses of its isotopes. The relative abundance of isotopes must be taken into consideration, therefore:
atomic mass of copper = atomic mass of isotope 1 * abundance 1 + atomic mass of isotope 2 * abundance 2

We know:
atomic mass of copper = 63.546 amu
The atomic mass of isotope 1 is: 62.939 amu
The abundance of isotope 1 is: 69.17% = 0.6917
The atomic mass of isotope 1 is: x
The abundance of isotope 2: 100% - 69.17% = 30.83% = 0.3083

Thus:
63.546 amu = 62.939 amu * 0.6917 + x * 0.3083
63.546 <span>amu = 43.535 amu + 0.3083x
</span>⇒ 63.546 amu - 43.535 amu = 0.3083x
⇒ 20.011 amu = 0.3083x
   ⇒ x = 20.011 amu ÷ 0.3083 = 64.907 amu
