Explain what makes a covalently bonded molecule polar. Use the molecules of CH4 and CH3F as examples in your explanation.

Chemistry

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The magnitude of electronegativity difference between atoms in a bond determines whether that bond will be polar or not.

If the electronegativity difference between atoms in a bond is about 1.7, the bond is ionic. If the electronegativity difference is greater than 0.4 and less than 1.7, the bond will have a polar covalent character. Lastly, if the electronegativity difference between the bond is less than or equal to 0.4, the covalent bond is non polar.

The electronegativity difference between carbon and hydrogen is about 0.4 which corresponds to a nonpolar covalent bond hence the molecule is nonpolar.

The electronegativity difference between carbon and fluorine is about 1.5 indicating a highly polar bond. This gives CH3F an overall dipole moment thereby making the molecule polar.

(7th grade chemistry) What makes a polyester, nylon and acrylic a synthetic materials/ products, in other words what happen duri
Andre45 [30]

Explanation:

What you call polyester is technically polyethylene terephthalate or PET plastic molded into filaments that are then woven into fabric. It's made in a chemical reaction between ethylene glycol and therephthalic acid, and these chemicals are derived from fossil fuels, air, and water.

Nylons are condensation polymers or copolymers, formed by reacting difunctional monomers containing equal parts of amine and carboxylic acid, so that amides are formed at both ends of each monomer in a process analogous to polypeptide biopolymers. Most nylons are made from the reaction of a dicarboxylic acid with a diamine or a lactam or amino acid with itself

The binder resin in acrylic paint is man-made, most of the time in some sort of lab. It is made generally from the monomer methyl methacrylate and also any real common catalyst. The catalyst speeds up the reaction to where the monomers create extremely long chains. Which result in polymethyl methacrylate, an acrylic plastic polymer.

The pigments are also mostly made in labs/factories. Most of the time they are either pure elements like pure cobalt powder and carbon charcoal, or they basic bounded compounds like cadmium sulfide. To make cadmium sulfide you react cadmium chloride with hydrogen sulfide to make a bright yellow solid. It is then washed and heated to make a spectrum of different colors.

Basically all of acrylic paints are man-made through various chemical reactions.

In a container there were 5 L of a gas at 25 °C. If the temperature decreases to -10 °C, what will be the new volume of the gas?
MariettaO [177]
Okay, so this is a PV=NRT problem
We know that V1/T1 = V2/T2 from the formula.
T1 is given as 25 degrees
V1 is given as 5 Liters
If the temperature decreases by 10 degrees, then T2 would be 25-10, so V2 is 15

Now, we can plug everything into the formula
5/25 = T2/15
(5/25) * 15 = T2
Therefore, T2 = 5/25 * 15L. When you simplify this, you get 3L
Therefore, the new volume of the gas is 3L

Hope this helped ^_^

Calculate the molarity of each aqueous solution: (a) 25.5 ml of 6.25 m hcl diluted to 0.500 l with water (b) 8.25 ml of 2.00×10–
Gnoma [55]
1. Using the dilution equation;
M1V1=M2V2
M1 = 6.25 m, v1= 25.5 ml or 0.0255 liters
Therefore; (6.25 ×0.0255)= M (0.5)
                 M = 0.159375/0.5
 Therefore Molarity is 0.31875 M Hcl

2. From the same equation 
 M1v1=m2v2
m1 = 0.02 m, v1=8.25 ml or 0.00825 l, while v2= 0.012 l
Thus, 0.02 ×0.00825 = M (0.012)
          M = 0.000165/0.012
              = 0.01375 m
Thus molarity is 0.01375 M KI

A geochemist measures the concentration of salt dissolved in Lake Parsons, an isolated salt lake. He finds a concentration of 21
VikaD [51]

Answer:

68,2%

Explanation:

Supposing the initial salt concentration of lake Parsons is the same of non-isolated lakes, 6,67L, and the change of salt concentration in isolated lake is just for water evaporation it is possible to write:

6,67gL⁻¹×X = 21gL⁻¹×Y

<em>-Where X is the initial water and Y is the water that remains in the isolated lake-</em>

Thus:

6,67X = 21Y

0,318 = Y/X

0,318 is the ratio of water that remains between total water. To obtain the ratio of evaporated water:

1-0,318 = 0,682

In percentage: <em>68,2%</em>

I hope it helps!

What are the words that describe how matter changes state
k0ka [10]
<span>"Phase" describes a physical state of matter. The key word to notice is physical. Things only move from one phase to another by physical means. If energy is added (like increasing the temperature) or if energy is taken away (like freezing something), you have created a physical change. </span>
