Answer:

Explanation:

Well, obviously a molecule with polar bonds can be polar in itself. It's like saying I am an atheltic person who can just reach the basketball rim with my head and also I can dunk.

But if the question is how can a molecule that in non-polar have polar bonds, well, its because the polar bonds' dipole cancels each other out. It's like a tight rope. If a person pulls in one direction, it intuitively, the rope would go in that direction. However, if a person pulls in the other direction with the same amount of force, the rope stays still. This is the same case. Although molecules can have different electronegativities, the pull of electrons in one direction is cancelled out by a pull in the opposite direction, making the net dipole 0.

This is common for main VSERP shaped molecules like linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal, and octahedral.

the vapor pressure of a naqueous solution is found to be 24.9 mmgh at 25C. what is the mole fraction of solute in this solution?

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Mole fraction of solute is 0.0462

Explanation:

To solve this we use the colligative property of lowering vapor pressure.

First of all, we search for vapor pressure of pure water at 25°C = 23.8 Torr

Now, we convert the Torr to mmHg. Ratio is 1:1, so 23.8 Torr is 23.8 mmHg.

Formula for lowering vapor pressure is:

ΔP = P° . Xm

Where ΔP = P' (Vapor pressure of solution) - P° (Vapor pressure of pure solvent)

Xm = mole fraction

24.9 mmHg - 23.8 mmHg = 23mmHg . Xm

Xm = (24.9 mmHg - 23.8 mmHg) / 23mmHg

Xm = 0.0462

Imagine you are an astronaut and you travel to a planet with a much larger mass than Earth. How would this affect your weight? E

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Explanation:

It may not make any difference. The information missing is the radius of the planet.

However for the purposes of the question, let us assume that it is roughly the same diameter of the earth. Then the weight of anyone would increase if the mass is all that changes..

The formula governing your weight is F = G * m1 *m2 / r^2. If m1 is the mass of the planet and it increases a lot then m2 (you) should increase. The question is done by a proportion.

What is the kinetic energy of a 1-kilogram ball is thrown into the air with ab ititial velocity of 30m/s?

mariarad [96]

KE=1/2*mass*velocity^2
So u do 1/2 * 1 * 30^2
1/2 * 1 * 900
= 450kgm/s

P.s. I'm not sure if I would have to convert kg to g.
Anyways hope this helped

A 13.00 g sample of a compound contains 4.15 g potassium (k), 3.76 g chlorine (cl), and oxygen (o). calculate the empirical form

MrRissso [65]

To solve this problem, let us all convert the mass of each element into number of moles using the formula:

moles = mass / molar mass

Where,

molar mass K = 39.10 g / mol

molar mass Cl = 35.45 g / mol

molar mass O = 16 g / mol

and mass O = 13 g – 4.15 g – 3.76 g = 5.09 g

moles K = 4.15 g / (39.10 g / mol) = 0.106 mol

moles Cl = 3.76 g / (35.45 g / mol) = 0.106 mol

moles O = 5.09 g / (16 g / mol) = 0.318 mol

The ratio becomes:

0.106 K: 0.106 Cl: 0.318 O

We divide all numbers with the smallest number, in this case 0.106. This becomes:

K: Cl: 3O

Therefore the empirical formula is:

$KClO_{3}$
