Why is ammonia (NH₃) classified as a polar molecule?

Chemistry
1 answer:
aleksandr82 [10.1K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Ammonia contains an asymmetrical distribution of electric charge.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, accordingly to the electronegativity difference we can calculate for the N-H bond, and based off our periodic table, which shows an electronegativity of 3.0 and 2.1 for N and H respectively, we obtain:

DE=3.0-2.1=0.9

Which is within the range of polar molecule even the both of them are nonmetals. Thus, choices a and b are firstly discarded; nonetheless, even when they are both nonmetals, two of these elements usually have a nonpolar bond, which means that option C is discarded, and therefore, our answer is ammonia contains an asymmetrical distribution of electric charge.

Regards!

MrMuchimi

Answer: He could add a base to the pool to neutralize the acid.

Explanation:

Chlorine is used to disinfect the pools as it produces hypochlorous acid in water. This hypochlorous acid is unstable and gives hydrochloric acid and nascent oxygen which is used to disinfect.

Cl_2+H_2O\rightarrow HOCl

HOCl\rightarrow HCl+O

The excess acid is neutralized by adding base which produces salt and water and thus decrease the acidity.

Acid+Base\rightarrow Salt+water

Adding more acid would increase the acidity further.

Limestone (CaCO3) is decomposed by heating to quicklime (CaO) and carbon dioxide. Calculate how many grams of quicklime can be p
Harman [31]

Answer: 2800 g

Explanation:

CaCO_3(s)\rightarrow CaO(s)+CO_2(g)

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to molecular mass and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Given mass = 5 kg = 5000 g

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{5000g}{100g/mol}=50moles

1 mole of CaCO_3 produces = 1 mole of CaO

50 moles of CaCO_3 produces =\frac{1}{1}\times 50=50moles of CaO

Mass of CaO=moles\times {\text{Molar mass}}=50moles\times 56g/mole=2800g

2800 g of CaO is produced from 5.0 kg of limestone.
