Explain, in terms of charge distribution, why a molecule of carbon tetrachloride is a nonpolar molecule.​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Pie3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The covalent bond is the chemical bond between atoms where electrons are shared, forming a molecule. Covalent bonds are established between non-metallic elements, such as hydrogen H, oxygen O and chlorine Cl. These elements have many electrons in their outermost level (valence electrons) and have a tendency to gain electrons to acquire the stability of the electronic structure of noble gas.

The covalent bond between two atoms can be polar or nonpolar. If the atoms are equal, the bond will be nonpolar (since no atom attracts electrons more strongly). But, if the atoms are different, the bond will be polarized towards the most electronegative atom, because it will be the atom that attracts the electron pair with more force. Then it will be polar.

It can occur in a molecule that the bonds are polar and the molecule is nonpolar. This occurs because of the geometry of the molecule, which causes them to cancel the different equal polar bonds of the molecule.

In carbon tetrachloride the bonds are polar, but the tetrahedral geometry of the molecule causes all four dipoles to cancel out and the molecule to be apolar.

Write a double replacement precipitation reaction A precipitate forms when aqueous solutions of nickel(II) chloride and silver(I
harkovskaia [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The balanced chemical equation is written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Double displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which exchange of ions takes place.

AB+CD\rightarrow CB+AD

Precipitation reaction is defined as the reaction in which an insoluble salt is formed when two solutions are mixed containing soluble substances. The insoluble salt settles down at the bottom of the reaction mixture.

When nickel (II) chloride reacts with silver (I) nitrate, it leads to the formation of white precipitate of silver chloride and an aqueous solution of nickel (II) nitrate.

The balanced chemical equation for the above reaction follows:

NiCl_2(aq.)+2AgNO_3(aq.)\rightarrow 2AgCl(s)+Ni(NO_3)_2(aq.)

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of aqueous solution of nickel (II) chloride reacts with 2 moles of aqueous solution of silver (I) nitrate to produce 2 moles of solid silver chloride and 1 moles of aqueous solution of nickel (II) nitrate

Hence, the balanced chemical equation is written above.

A 0.02 molar solution of sodium chloride contains 0.1 mole of solute. What is the volume of the solution
Deffense [45]

Answer:

Volume of solution = 5 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Molarity of solution = 0.02 M

Moles of solute = 0.1 mol

Volume of solution = ?

Solution:

Molarity is used to describe the concentration of solution. It tells how many moles are dissolve in per litter of solution.

Formula:

Molarity = number of moles of solute / L of solution

by putting values,

0.02 M = 0.1 mol / volume of solution

Volume of solution = 0.1 mol / 0.02 M

Volume of solution = 5 L
