heh.......... sorry man............... but this was posted over 5 hours ago........ so nobody is gonna see it and you probably dont need the answer anymore..... so errrr..... imma justtttt..... take these points :D
To determine whether a compound is polar or nonpolar you have to take into account:
1) formation of dipoles due to the difference in electronegativities of the atoms
2) shape of the molecule to conclude whether there is a net dipole momentum.
You already, likely, know that the electronegativities of H and O are significatively different, being O more electronegative thatn H. So, you can conclude easilty that the electrons are atracted more by O than by H, thus creating two dipoles H→O
Regarding the shape, it may appear that the molecule is symmetrical, which would lead to the cancellation of the two dipoles. But that is not the true. The H2O2 is not symmetrical.
The lewis structure just show this shape
** **
H - O - O - H
** **
which is what may induce to think that the molecule is symmetrical, leading to the misconception that it is nonpolar.
But in a three dimensional arrangement you could see that the hydrogens are placed in non symmetrical positions, which leads to the formation of a net dipole momentum, and thus to a polar molecule.
The fact that H2O2 is a polar compound is the reason why it can be mixed with water and the H2O2 that you buy in the pharmacy is normally a solution in water.
So, the hydrogen peroxide is polar because the hydrogens are not placed symmetrically in the molecule, which result in a net dipole momentum.
Answer:
18,8kg of wood
Explanation:
The energy you need to to raise the temperature of 1000 kg of water from 25.0 to 100.0 °C is:
q = C×m×ΔT
Where: q is heat, C is specific heat of water (4,184J/g°C), m is mass in grams (1000x10³g), and ΔT is 100,0°C - 25,0°C = 75,0°C
Replacing:
q = 4,184J/g°C×1000x10³g×75,0°C
<u><em>q = 3,14x10⁸ J of heat are required</em></u>
<u><em /></u>
Now, if the heating value of dry wood is 16,72 MJ/kg = 16,72x10⁶ J/kg, mass of wood required is:
3,14x10⁸J × (1kg / 16,72x10⁶ J) = <em>18,8 kg of wood are required</em>
<em></em>
I hope it helps!
Sodium is the reducing agent because a reducing agent is always the donor of electrons.
