Water is a polar molecule, meaning the electrons that are shared between the atoms aren't shared equally so oxygen attracts more

electrons than hydrogen. What analogy best compares this?

Answer:

Magnet with a positive and a negative pole

Explanation:

A great analogy to demonstrate what a polar molecule looks like is to imagine a magnet. A magnet has one positively charged end and one negatively charged end, two poles, that is.

Imagine that we have a magnet of a shape of a prism (water molecule has a bent shape). The two base vertices of the face of the triangle are positively charged, that's because hydrogen is less electronegative than oxygen and, hence, the two hydrogen atoms are partially positively charged in a water molecule.

Oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen meaning it has a greater electron-withdrawing force, so electrons are closer to oxygen within the O-H bonds. Oxygen, as a result, becomes partially negatively charged, so it's our negative pole of the magnet.

Which resources are significantly polluted by heavy metals like mercury?
arlik [135]
<span>Heavy metals like mercury enter waterways by industrial dumping and poor regulatioin of effluent, and they also enter soil through a similar manner, in which waste is disposed of imporperly. Another source of heavy metals are the gases leaving industry carrying these metals. The metals fall as a solid on to soil and water ways. Therefore, the answer is D.</span>

Which of the following is true: A. Gamma rays are too dangerous to be used in a medicinal way. B. Gamma radiation is used common
ratelena [41]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Gamma radiation penetrates the cell wall of prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria and can inhibit their metabolic functions as well as destroy their DNA.

Debunking the other answers:

A is incorrect as Gamma radiation is used in the treatment of cancer via radiotherapy.

B is incorrect as Gamma rays are too small and would just penetrate any smoke particles.

C is incorrect because Gamma rays are used to disinfect food products to prevent food borne illness. Irradiation is safe to use on food and does not make it radioactive.

Thus, D is correct.

Select the single best answer. Which mechanism properly shows the movement of electrons in the reaction? 2xsafari
sweet [91]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

We must study the reaction pictured in the question closely before we begin to attempt to answer the question.

Now, the reaction is a free radical reaction. This implies that only one electron is transferred. The transfer of one electron is shown using a half arrow rather than a full arrow. The both species are radicals (odd electron species) and contribute one electron each.

Hence we must show electron movements in both species using a half arrow.

1. How many moles of nitrogen monoxide can be made using 5.0 moles of oxygen in
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

1)  <u>10.0 moles of NO</u>

<u>2) 25 moles of NaCl</u>

3) <u>1200 moles of CO2</u>

<u>4) 1.03 moles of MgO</u>

<u>5) 0.72 moles H2</u>

<u>6) 1041.15 grams BaCl2</u>

<u>7) </u>9.55 grams MgO

8) <u>45.5 grams Au</u>

<u>9 )14.93 grams AlCl3</u>

Explanation:

1. How many moles of nitrogen monoxide can be made using 5.0 moles of oxygen in the following composition reaction?

N2 + O2 → 2NO

For 1 mol N2 we need 1 mol O2 to produce 2 moles of NO

For 5.0 moles of N2 we need 5.0 moles of O2 to produce <u>10.0 moles of NO</u>

2. The neutralization of an acid with a base is a double replacement reaction in which a salt and water are formed. If you start with 25 moles of HCl and neutralize it with  NaOH how many moles of NaCl will be formed?

HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O

For 1 mol HCl we need 1 mol NaOH to produce 1 mol of NaCl and 1 mol H2O

For 25 moles of HCl we need 25 moles of NaOH to produce <u>25 moles of NaCl</u> and 25 moles of H2O

3. A car burns gasoline (octane – C8H18) with oxygen. If you drive to Salt Lake and  burn 150 moles of octane how many moles of carbon dioxide are you producing?

2C8H18 + 25O2 → 16CO2 + 18H2O

For 2 moles of octane we need 25 moles of O2 to produce 16 moles of CO2 and 18 moles of H2O

For 150 moles of octane we need 25*75 = 1875 moles of O2

To produce 16*75 = <u>1200 moles of CO2</u> and 18*75= 1350 moles

4. If 25 gram of magnesium combines with oxygen in a composition reaction, how  many moles of magnesium oxide will be formed?

2Mg + O2 → 2MgO

Moles of Mg = 25.0 g/24.3 g/mol = 1.03 moles

For 2 moles Mg we need 1 mol O2 to produce 2 moles MgO

For 1.03 moles Mg we'll have <u>1.03 moles of MgO</u>

5. . Lithium reacts with water in a single replacement reaction. How many moles of  hydrogen gas a produced by 10 grams of lithium?

2Li + 2H2O → 2LiOH + H2

Moles Li = 10.0 grams/ 6.94 g/mol = 1.44 moles

For 2 moles Li we need 2 mole H2O to produce 2 moles LiOH and 1 mol H2

For 1.44 moles Li we need 1.44 moles H2O to produce 1.44 moles H2O and <u>0.72 moles H2</u>

<u />

<u />

6. Barium chloride reacts with sodium sulfate in a double replacement reaction. How  many grams of barium chloride are required to react with 5 moles of sodium sulfate?

BaCl2 + Na2SO4 → BaSO4 + 2NaCl

For 1 mol of BaCl2 we need 1 mol of Na2SO4 to produce 1 mol of BaSO4 and 2 moles NaCl

For 5 moles Na2SO4 we need 5 moles BaCl2

mass BaCl2 = 5 moles * 208.23 g/mol = <u>1041.15 grams BaCl2</u>

7. Magnesium carbonate when heated decomposes to form magnesium oxide and carbon dioxide. How many grams of magnesium oxide will be formed if 20 grams of  magnesium carbonate are heated?

MgCO3 → MgO + CO2

Moles MgCO3 = 20.0 grams / 84.31 g/mol

Moles MgCO3 = 0.237 moles

For 1 mol MgCO3 we'll have 1 mol MgO and 1 mol CO2

For 0.237 moles MgCO3 we'll have 0.237 moles MgO and 0.237 moles CO2

Mass MgO = 0.237 moles * 40.30 g/mol = 9.55 grams MgO

8. If 70 grams of gold III chloride decomposes into its elements, how many grams of  gold will be produced?

2AuCl3 → 2Au + 3Cl2

Moles AuCl3 = 70 grams / 303.33 g/mol = 0.231 moles

For 2 moles AuCl3 we'll have 2 moles gold and 3 moles Cl2

For 0.231 moles AuCl3 we'll have 0.231 moles gold

Mass of gold =  0.231 moles * 196.97 g/mol = <u>45.5 grams Au</u>

<u />

<u />

9. Chlorine is more reactive element than bromine, thus chlorine will replace bromine in compound through a single replacement reaction. If 30 grams of aluminum bromide react with chlorine in this fashion how many grams of aluminum chloride will be formed?

2AlBr3 + 3Cl2 → 2AlCl3 + 3Br2

Moles AlBr3 = 30 g /266.69 g/mol = 0.112 moles

For 2 moles AlBr2 we need 3 moles Cl2 to produce 2 moles AlCl3 and 3 moles Br2

For 0.112 moles AlBr3 we need 3/2 * 0.112 = 0.168 moles of Cl2

To produce 0.112 moles of AlCl3 and 0.168 moles of Br2

Mass AlCl3 = 0.112 moles * 133.34 g/mol = <u>14.93 grams AlCl3</u>
