Can anyone explain dipoles in chemistry?

Chemistry

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.

Determine the concentration of sulfuric acid that needed 47 mL of 0.39M potassium hydroxide solution to neutralize a 25 mL sampl
Ugo [173]

0.73 M is the concentration of sulfuric acid that needed 47 mL of 0.39M potassium hydroxide solution to neutralize a 25 mL sample of the sulfuric acid solution.

Explanation:

Data given:

Volume of the base = 47 ml

molarity of the base= 0.39 M

volume of the acid = 25 ml

molarity of the acid =?

For titration reaction between acid and base, the volume or molarity of any of the base or acid can be determined.  The formula used:

Macid X Vacid = Vbase x Mbase

Macid = \frac{Vbase X M base}{V acid}

putting the values given in the rearranged equation above:

Macid = \frac{0.39 x47}{25}

           = 0.73 M

The concentration of the sulphuric acid needed is 0.73 M.

Write a brief account of Ernest Rutherford’s personal and professional life in no more then 150 words
Alborosie
<span><span> i think the answer is that >>>>>Ernest Rutherford was born in rural Spring Grove, on the South Island of New Zealand on August 30, 1871. He was the fourth of 12 children, and the second son. His father, James, had little education and struggled to support the large family on a flax-miller’s income. Ernest’s mother, Martha, worked as a schoolteacher. She believed that knowledge was power, and placed a strong emphasis on her children’s education.As a child, Ernest, whose family called him “Ern,” spent most of his time after school milking cows and helping with other chores on the family farm. Weekends were spent swimming in the creek with his brothers. Since money was tight, Rutherford found inventive ways of overcoming his family’s financial challenges, including birds-nesting to earn funds for his kite-flying supplies. “We haven’t the money, so we’ve got to think,” was Rutherford’s motto at the time.<span><span /></span>

Explain how to get the mole of any compound
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Explanation

To get a mole of a compound just add up the molar mass

For example:  O2

1 mole of oxygen is 16g

1 mole of O2= 32g

You can find the molar mass of each individual element on the periodic table of elements

How can you explain therma expansion in terms of kinetic energy ? please help
nata0808 [166]

Answer:  

Heat causes the molecules to move faster (heat energy is converted to kinetic energy), which means that the volume of a solid or a liquid. ... The particles in the air do not have more kinetic energy than particles in the mercury, because they are the same.

Explanation:

I hope this help you!
