The electronegativities of carbon and sulfur are almost the same. Both elements form covalently bonded compounds with hydrogen.

Why is hydrogen sulfide a polar compound while methane is a nonpolar compound?
a.Sulfur has a stronger attraction for electrons than does carbon
b.A hydrogen sulfide molecule has lone pairs of electrons
c.Sulfur forms ionic bonds with hydrogen while carbon forms covalent bonds
d.Sulfur ions are larger than carbon ions

Answer:

b. A hydrogen sulfide molecule has lone pairs of electrons

Explanation:

The presence of lone pairs indictates that the molecule will be polar unless its molecular geometry is linear or square planar. In the case of H2S, its shape is bent due to the lone pair and it is a slightly polar molecule.

A container is filled with hydrogen gas. It has a volume of 4 liters and a pressure of 2 atm. If the pressure of the container i
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

1.33 L.

Explanation:

  • We can use the general law of ideal gas: PV = nRT.

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.

V is the volume of the gas in L.

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.

R  is the general gas constant,

T is the temperature of the gas in K.

  • If n and T are constant, and have different values of P and V:

<em>(P₁V₁) = (P₂V₂)</em>

<em></em>

Knowing that:

V₁  =  4.0 L, P₁ = 2.0 atm,

V₂  =  ??? L, P₂ = 6.0 atm.

  • Applying in the above equation

(P ₁V₁) = (P₂V₂)

<em>∴ V₂ = P ₁V₁/P₂</em> = (2.0 atm)(4.0 L)/(6.0 atm) =<em> 1.33 L.</em>

If you dive out just past the continental slope and look at the living things on the ocean floor which zone are you exploring
mamaluj [8]
Lies just beyond the continental slope is the open ocean zone and it has three subzones namely the epipelagic(sunlit zone), mesopelagic(disphotic zone) and bathypelagic zones(aphotic zone). The oceanic zone covers 65% of the ocean's water and where different types of terrains can be found. From deep trenches, deep sea volcanoes and basins. A variety of sea creatures can also be found on each subzone.

If you mix cu2+ with? a. nacl, b. nano2, c. h2o , arrange the solutions based on their absorption from highest frequency to lowe
erica [24]

The arrangement of the solutions based on their absorption from highest frequency to lowest frequency :

b.NaNO_{2} > c.H_{2} O > a.NaCl

<h3>What is absorption frequency?</h3>
  • The frequency of the molecular vibration that led to the absorption is the same as the absorption frequency of a basic IR absorption band.
  • In a way, an emission spectrum is the opposite of an absorption spectrum.
  • The discrepancies in the energy levels of each chemical element's orbitals correspond to absorption lines for each chemical element at various particular wavelengths.
  • Therefore, it is possible to identify the constituents in a gas or liquid using its absorption spectrum.
  • Absorption spectroscopy is most frequently used to measure infrared, atomic, visible, ultraviolet (UV), and x-ray waves.

Can someone pls help me with this question
artcher [175]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 24.325

Explanation:

Data

Magnesium-24  Abundance = 78.70%

Magnesium-25  Abundance = 10.13%

Magnesium-26  Abundance = 11.17%

Process

1.- Convert the abundance to decimals

Magnesium-24  Abundance = 78.70/100 = 0.787

Magnesium-25  Abundance = 10.13/100 = 0.1013

Magnesium-26  Abundance = 11.17/100 = 0.1117

2.- Write an equation

Average atomic mass = (Atomic mass-1 x Abundance 1) + (Atomic mass 2 x

                                       Abundance-2) + (Atomic mass 3 x Abundance 3)

3.- Substitution

Average atomic mass = (24 x 0.787) + (25 x 0.1013) + (26 x 0.1117)

4.- Simplification

Average atomic mass = 18.888 + 2.533 + 2.904

5.- Result

Average atomic mass = 24.325
