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

A student dissolves of urea in of a solvent with a density of . The student notices that the volume of the solvent does not chan

Dimas [21]

The question incomplete , the complete question is:

A student dissolves of 18.0 g urea in 200.0 mL of a solvent with a density of 0.95 g/mL . The student notices that the volume of the solvent does not change when the urea dissolves in it. Calculate the molarity and molality of the student's solution. Round both of your answers to significant digits.

Answer:

The molarity and molality of the student's solution is 1.50 Molar and 1.58 molal.

Explanation:

Moles of urea = $\frac{18.0 g}{60 g/mol}=0.3 mol$

Volume of the solution = 200.0 mL = 0.2 L (1 mL = 0.001 L)

$Molarity(M)=\frac{\text{Moles of compound}}{\text{Volume of solution in L}}$

Molarity of the urea solution ;

$M=\frac{0.3 mol}{0.200 L}=1.50 M$

Mass of solvent = m

Volume of solvent = V = 200.0 mL

Density of the urea = d = 0.95 g/mL

$m=d\times V=0.95 g/mL\times 200.0 mL=190 g$

$m = 190 g = 190 \times 0.001 kg = 0.19 kg$

(1 g = 0.001 kg)

Molality of the urea solution ;

$Molality(m)=\frac{\text{Moles of compound}}{\text{Mass of solvent in kg}}$

$m=\frac{0.3 mol}{0.19 kg}=1.58 m$

The molarity and molality of the student's solution is 1.50 Molar and 1.58 molal.

How are protists different from plants

kotegsom [21]

Answer/ explanation :

Protist can be multicellular or unicellular organisms

Plants are all multicellular and also exhibit cellular differentiation.

Protist can be autotroph, heterotrophic or decomposer

Plants are only autotrophs because they manufacture their own food through photosynthesis

Protists are microscopic, more diverse and abundant in nature

Plants are big and complex in nature

Nuclear DNA strands in plants are of higher complexity than those of protist

Plants require oxygen for cellular respiration process unlike protist which can be aerobic and some other species facultative anaerobic

Plants only can reproduce asexually through bulbs and tubers as in yam, potatoes while protists reproduce either sexually through meiosis or asexually through simple cell division.

Explain why an indicator is used in titration

stellarik [79]

Answer:

Titrations. Because a noticeable pH change occurs near the equivalence point of acid-base titrations, an indicator can be used to signal the end of a titration. When selecting an indicator for acid-base titrations, choose an indicator whose pH range falls within the pH change of the reaction.
