Depicted below you will see the molecules COH2 and SO3 . Why is COH2 polar while SO3 isn’t?

Chemistry
1 answer:
tia_tia [17]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

When we look at SO3 we will notice that the compound is trigonal planar and it is symmetric. This means that it has equal charge distribution hence its dipoles cancel out resulting in a zero net dipole moment.

However, COH2 is also trigonal planar but is non-symmetric. Hence, its dipole moments do not cancel out, hence the molecule has a resultant dipole moment and is a polar molecule

The graph below shows the volume and the mass of four different substances at STP.
sladkih [1.3K]
The formula of density is mass / volume

This means that
- high mass, low volume = high density
- high mass, high volume = so-so
- low mass, high volume = low density

From the graph shown, 
D has the lowest density because it has low mass yet high volume.

Sulfur undergoes combustion to yield sulfur trioxide by the following reaction equation:
12345 [234]

Answer:

Therefore, the amount of heat produced by the reaction of 42.8 g S = <u>(-5.2965 × 10²) kJ = (-5.2965 × 10⁵) J</u>

Explanation:

Given reaction: 2S + 3O₂ → 2 SO₃

Given: The enthalpy of reaction: ΔH = - 792 kJ

Given mass of S: w₂ = 42.8 g, Molar mass of S: m = 32 g/mol

In the given reaction, the number of moles of S reacting: n = 2

As, Number of moles: n = \frac{mass\: (w_{1})}{molar\: mass\: (m)}

∴  mass of S in 2 moles of S: w_{1} = n \times m = 2\: mol \times 32\: g/mol = 64\: g

<em>Given reaction</em>: 2S + 3O₂ → 2 SO₃

<em>In this reaction, the limiting reagent is S</em>

⇒ 2 moles S produces (- 792 kJ) heat.

or, 64 g of S produces (- 792 kJ) heat.

∴ 42.8 g of S produces (x) amount of heat

⇒ <u><em>The amount of heat produced by 42.8 g S:</em></u>

x = \frac{(- 792\: kJ) \times 42.8\: g}{64\: g} = (-529.65)\: kJ

\Rightarrow x = (-5.2965 \times 10^{2})\: kJ = (-5.2965 \times 10^{5})\: J

(\because 1 kJ = 10^{3} J)

<u>Therefore, the amount of heat produced by the reaction of 42.8 g S = (-5.2965 × 10²) kJ = (-5.2965 × 10⁵) J</u>
