Why were you not asked to predict whether or not an ion is polar?

1 answer:

4 0

I believe ions (polyatomic or otherwise) would be neither polar nor nonpolar, but rather ionic. Polar and nonpolar are terms used to refer to molecules with an overall neutral charge, while ions are charged molecules or atoms. However, ions would BEHAVE LIKE polar molecules in the way that they are water soluble and lipid insoluble<span>

Does the mass of water increase or decrease when it changes to ice

NikAS [45]

Answer:

The mass stays the same only volume changes, the volume decreases

Explanation:

The ice shrinks (decreases volume) and becomes more dense. The weight will not (and cannot) change.

Which example indicates that a chemical change has occurred? *

andrezito [222]

Answer:

A. When two aqueous solutions are mixed, a precipitate is formed.

Explanation:

The precipitate (a solid substance that falls from the liquid) is the result of a chemical reaction taking place between the liquids.

The other three answer choices are indicative of physical changes (temperature change, phase change, color change).

1. An electric power plant uses energy from burning coal to generate steam at 450 °C. The plant is cooled by 20 °C water

kap26 [50]

Answer:

Explanation:

Efficiency of the electric power plant is $e=1-\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}$

Here Temperature of hot source $T_{1} = 450^{o}C=450+273=723 K$

and Temperature of sink $T_{1} = 20^{o}C=20+273=293 K$

Hence the efficiency is $e=1-\frac{293}{723}=0.5947=59.47%$

Now another formula for thermal efficiency Is

$e_{therm}=\frac{Q_{1}-Q_{2}}{Q_{1}}=\frac{W}{Q_{1}}$

Here QI is the of heat taken from source 100 MJ ; Q2 of heat transferred to the sink (river) to be found

W is the of work done and W = QI -Q2

Hence From $e_{therm}=\frac{Q_{1}-Q_{2}}{Q_{1}}=\frac{W}{Q_{1}}$

$W=e(Q_{1})=(0.5947)(100)=59.47MJ$

Hence the of heat transferred to the river Is $Q_{2} -W = (100 -59.47=40.53$

How does photosynthesis and cellular respiration depend on each other

Monica [59]

Photosynthesis is the process where plants create energy. It requires water, carbon dioxide and sunlight. The end result is glucose, which the plants consume, and oxygen. Cellular respiration requires oxygen and glucose. The end result is carbon dioxide, ATP, and water.

How many grams of glucose are needed to prepare 144.3 mL of a 1.4%(m/v) glucose solution?

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

2.0202 grams

Explanation:

1.4% (m/v) glucose solution means: 1.4g glucose/100mL solution.

so ?g glucose = 144.3 mL soln

Now apply the conversion factor, and you have:

?g glucose = 144.3mL soln x (1.4g glucose/100mL soln).

so you have (144.3x1.4/100) g glucose= 2.0202 grams
