Select the correct answer. Which characteristic is a property of water?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Dafna1 [17]2 years ago
3 0

Answer: A. It is made of polar molecules.

Explanation:

A polar molecule refers to a molecule that has a covalent bond but has an uneven distribution of electrons due to an atom in the molecule having strong electronegativity which will attract more of the electrons from the other atom.

Water is such a molecule because Oxygen has strong electronegativity which leads to electrons being pulled to it.

4. How would you calculate the poH of a base when given the<br><br> concentration of [OH]-?
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Use pOH = -log₁₀ [OH-]

Explanation:

pOH can be calculated from the concentration of hydroxide ions using the formular below:

pOH = -log₁₀ [OH-]

The pOH is the negative logarithm of the hydroxide ion concentration.

About 6 × 109 g of gold is thought to be dissolved in the oceans of the world. If the total volume of the oceans is 1.5 × 1021 L
Lelechka [254]

First, determine the number of moles of gold.

Number of moles  = \frac{given mass in g}{molar mass}

Given mass of gold  =6 \times 10^{9} g

Molar mass of gold  = 196.97 g/mol

Put the values,

Number of moles of gold  = \frac{6 \times 10^{9} g}{196.97 g/mol}

= 0.03046\times  10^{9} mole or 3.046\times  10^{7} moles

Now, molarity  = \frac{moles of solute}{volume of the solution in liters}

Put the values, volume of ocean  =1.5 \times 10^{21} L

Molarity = \frac{3.046\times 10^{7} moles}{1.5 \times 10^{21} L}

= 2.03\times 10^{-14} M

Thus, average molar concentration = 2.03\times 10^{-14} M

I don’t need the answers to this but u can if u want but I’m just asking what is this is asking for and how to solve it? I hope

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Salts are produced from the reaction of an acid and a base. In general ...

Acid + Base => Salt + Weak Electrolyte

Acids from the 'Arrhenius Definition' contain an 'ionizable' hydrogen (-H). Such as, HCl, HBr, HI, HNO₃, HClO₄, HF, etc.

Bases from the 'Arrhenius Definition' contain an 'ionizable' hydroxide (-OH). Such as, LiOH, NaOH, KOH, CsOH, Ca(OH)₂, etc.

When the acid and base react, they proceed by what is known as a 'Double Replacement Reaction' or 'Metathesis Reaction'. In the process, the ions of the reactant compounds exchange positions such that a 'Driving Force' compound is formed on the product side. The Driving Force compound is <u>always</u> on the product side of the equation and is a compound that takes one of three forms => A precipitating salt, a compound of a weak acid or weak base (weaker than the starting acid or base) or gas decomposition product (~ vinegar + backing soda rxn => CO₂ gas).

For your problem, split the compound into cations and anions. You can usually tell which is which by using this format on formulas like those listed in your question => reading formula from left to right, place an imaginary line after the 1st metal => this metal will be the cation & the remaining formula will be the anion.

KBr => K | Br => K (Potassium) is the cation (K⁺) and Br (Bromide) is the anion (Br⁻)

KBr => K⁺ + Br⁻

Now. Apply this rule => Add 'H' to anion => HBr,  then add 'OH' to cation => KOH.

HBr is the acid and KOH is the base. Therefore ...        

Acid + Base => Salt + Wk Electrolyte

HBr + KOH => KBr + H₂O (note how ions of reactants exchange places to form products).

So, KBr comes from the reaction of acid HBr and base KOH.

HBr + KOH => KBr + H₂O

To determine the acid and base origins of LiCl and NaF, use the same logic. Hope this helps. Doc :-)

A glass of water would be at equilibrium when the gaseous water molecules were greater than the liquid molecules. Please select
Nataly_w [17]
That statement is false

If the gaseous water molecules were greater than the liquid molecules ( which commonly happened if the temperature of the water is increased) , the water will evaporate
