Can anyone explain dipoles in chemistry?

Chemistry
1 answer:
slavikrds [6]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A dipole refers to a bond in which its two ends have opposite charges. A dipole results from a large difference in electronegativity between two atoms in a bond.

For instance, consider the bond between hydrogen and chlorine in HCl. The electronegativity of hydrogen is 2.2 while that of chlorine is 3.16. The significant electronegativity difference between the two atoms leads to a charge separation.

A partial positive charge appears on the atom that is less electronegative (hydrogen) while a negative charge appears on the more electronegative atom (chlorine).

This charge separation occurs because the shared electrons of the bond are more closely attracted to chlorine making it partially negative compared to hydrogen. A dipole moment now exists in the H-Cl bond hence the molecule is said to have a dipole.

What term describes the process of lowering the boiling point of a hydrocarbon by exposing it to different environmental treatme
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Cracking.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction can be defined as a reaction in which two or more atoms of a chemical element react to form a chemical compound. An example of a chemical reaction involving hydrocarbons is cracking.

Hydrocarbon can be defined as an organic compound that comprises of hydrogen and carbon only.

In Organic chemistry, cracking refers to the process of lowering the boiling point of a heavy, complex or long-chain hydrocarbon such as kerogens by exposing it to different environmental treatments such as hydrogen enriched catalysts, pressure or high temperatures, in order to produce smaller, lighter and more useful molecules (alkanes and alkenes) such as gasoline, diesel fuel, etc.

Which one of the following will change the value of an equilibrium constant?
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

(E) changing temperature

Explanation:

Consider the following reversible balanced reaction:

aA+bB⇋cC+dD

If we know the molar concentrations of each of the reaction species, we can find the value of Kc using the relationship:

Kc = ([C]^c * [D]^d) / ([A]^a * [B]^b)

where:

[C] and [D] are the concentrations of the products in the equilibrium; [A] and [B] reagent concentrations in equilibrium; already; b; c and d are the stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced equation. Concentrations are commonly expressed in molarity, which has units of moles / 1

There are some important things to remember when calculating Kc:

-  <em>Kc is a constant for a specific reaction at a specific temperature</em>. If you change the reaction temperature, then Kc also changes

- Pure solids and liquids, including solvents, are not considered for equilibrium expression.

- The reaction must be balanced with the written coefficients as the minimum possible integer value in order to obtain the correct value of Kc
