Answer:
The electronegativity differences between carbon and oxygen are not very large.
Explanation:
Between the atoms of carbon monoxide exists a covalent bond which attaches the carbon to the oxygen.
In this type of bonding, both atoms shares a given number of valence electrons to attain chemical stability.
A substance is polar when there is a distinct charge separation between the species.
For covalent bonds, the electronegativity difference plays in important role in determining the polarity of the compound. When the difference is large, the compound will be polar but when the difference is very small or zero, no polarity will exist.
In between carbon and oxygen of carbon monoxide, the electronegativity difference is very low.
Answer:
49.4 g Solution
Explanation:
There is some info missing. I think this is the original question.
<em>A chemistry student needs 20.0g of acetic acid for an experiment. He has 400.g available of a 40.5 % w/w solution of acetic acid in acetone. </em>
<em>
Calculate the mass of solution the student should use. If there's not enough solution, press the "No solution" button. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.</em>

We have 400 g of solution and there are 40.5 g of solute (acetic acid) per 100 grams of solution. We can use this info to find the mass of acetic acid in the solution.

Since we only need 20.0 g of acetic acid, there is enough of it in the solution. The mass of solution that contains 20.0 g of solute is:
