Which of the following is a nonpolar molecule?

Chemistry
1 answer:
mylen [45]2 years ago
6 0

<u>Answer:</u> The correct option is A) a nitrogen molecule.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Polar covalent molecules are defined as chemical compounds in which the difference in electronegativity between the atoms is not equal to 0. These molecules are formed by heteronuclear molecules.

Heteronuclear molecules are defined as the molecules which are formed by the combination of more than one type of atom having a different nucleus.

Non-polar covalent molecules are defined as chemical compounds in which the difference in electronegativity between the atoms is equal to 0. These molecules are formed by homonuclear molecules.

Homonuclear molecules are defined as the molecules which are formed by the combination of one type of atom having the same nucleus.

From the given options:

  • A) A nitrogen molecule

It is a homonuclear molecule formed by the combination of 2 nitrogen atoms

  • B) A nitrogen monoxide molecule

It is a heteronuclear molecule formed by the combination of 1 nitrogen and 1 oxygen atoms

  • C) A linear nitrogen oxide molecule (N_2O) with nitrogen in the center

It is a heteronuclear molecule formed by the combination of 2 nitrogen and 1 oxygen atom and has some dipole moment. Thus, is considered a polar molecule

  • D) A bent nitrogen dioxide molecule (NO_2) with nitrogen in the center

It is a heteronuclear molecule formed by the combination of 1 nitrogen and 2 oxygen atoms and has some dipole moment. Thus, is considered a polar molecule

Hence, the correct option is A) a nitrogen molecule.

If a system performs 147 kJ of work while receiving 47 kJ of heat, what is change in its internal energy?
Verdich [7]

Answer:

-100 kJ

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by applying the first law of thermodynamics, which states that:

\Delta U = Q-W

where:

\Delta U is the change in internal energy of a system

Q is the heat absorbed/released by the system (it is positive if absorbed by the system, negative if released by the system)

W is the work done by the system (it is positive if done by the system, negative if done on the system)

For the system in this problem we have:

W = +147 kJ is the work done by the system

Q = +47 kJ is the heat absorbed by the system

So , its change in internal energy is:

\Delta U = +47 - (+147) =-100 kJ

Do the gas laws apply to liquids ?
Contact [7]

Answer:

The Ideal Gas Law cannot be applied to liquids. The Ideal Gas Law is #PV = nRT#. That implies that #V# is a variable. But we know that a liquid has a constant volume, so the Ideal <u><em>Gas Law cannot apply to a liquid.</em></u>
