Answer: option B happens to be correct since we can somewhere say that the electron density is more near oxygen atom which leads to polarization of bond and development of bond.

Explanation:

The reason why the water molecule is polar is due to the electronegativity difference between the Oxygen  and hydrogen atoms.

Oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen and hence the covalent bond formed between oxygen and hydrogen would be polarized . Since the oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen so more electron density would remain around oxygen. Due to the bond polarity partial positive and negative charges would develop on the atoms.

Hydrogen would develop a partial positive charge since it is losing its electron density to more electronegative oxygen atom.

Oxygen would develop a partial negative charge as it is gaining electron density from hydrogen due to its more electronegativity.

The development of partial charges on account of polarity differences in polar molecules are not at all complete electron transfer.The bonds are still covalent in nature and the electrons are shared among atoms but just because one of the atoms is more electronegative so it is having more amount of electron density .

Out of the given options option B happens to be correct since we can somewhere say that the electron density is more near oxygen atom which leads to polarization of bond and development of bond.

If CO2 is not removed by boiling the solution after the addition of HCl, how will this affect the amount of NaOH required to rea
zimovet [89]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

CO2 reacts with water to form carbonic acid as follows;

CO2(g) + H2O(l) ---------> H2CO3(aq)

This makes the solution more acidic hence it will require more NaOH to reach end point due to the increase in acidity.

Hence, if CO2 is not removed by boiling the solution, a greater amount of NaOH is required to reach end point.

Heat is being removed from a substance, but its temperature does not change. What is
ololo11 [35]
So its temperature will not rise, since kinetic energy of molecules remains the same. The quantity of heat absorbed or released when a substance changes its physical phase at constant temperature (e g. From solid to liquid at melting point or from liquid to gas at boiling point) is termed as its latent heat.

A gas has a volume of 62.65 L at STP. At what temperature (in oC) would the volume of the gas be 78.31 L at a pressure of 612.0
masha68 [24]

Answer:

1.788 C DEGREES

Explanation:

STP is 1 atm at  273.15 K

P1V1/T1  = P2V2/T2

(1)(62.65) / (273.15) = (612/760)(78.31)/T2

T2 = 274.93 K     = 1.788 C
