The Lewis structures of four compounds are given. In the first molecule sufur is the central atom. There are two oxygen atoms bo

nded to the sulfur atom through double bonds. There is one lone pair of electrons on the sulfur atom and two lone pairs of electrons on each oxygen atom. In the second molecule carbon is the central atom. There are two oxygen atoms bonded to the sulfur atom through double bonds. There are two lone pairs of electrons on each oxygen atom. In the third molecule carbon is the central atom. There are two chlorine atoms and two hydrogen atoms bonded to the carbon atom through single bonds. Each chlorine atom contains three lone pairs of electrons. In the four molecule phosphorus is the central atom. There are three chlorine atoms bonded to the phosphorus atom through single bonds. There is one lone pair of electrons on the phosphorus atom and three lone pairs of electrons on each chlorine atom. Which of these molecules are polar?

Answer:

Compound 1. Sulfur Dioxide

Compound 3. Dichloromethane

Compound 4. Phosphorus Trichloride

<em>(figure attached)</em>

Explanation:

Compound 1. Sulfur Dioxide

Polar compound

Through the Lewis structure it is confirmed that SO₂ is a polar compound, because it is an asymmetric compound having two regions of different polarity. The lower region having oxygen groups is more electronegative then the upper region.

Compound 2. Carbon Dioxide

Non polar Compound

Through the Lewis structure it is confirmed that CO₂ is a non polar compound, because it is a symmetric compound having two regions of same polarity. The left region and the right region both contains oxygen groups having same electronegativity.

Compound 3. Dichloromethane

Polar compound

Through the Lewis structure it is confirmed that CH₂Cl₂ is a polar compound, because it is an asymmetric compound having two regions of different polarity. Two chlorine atoms are attached to it and as we know that chlorine is a more electronegative element than hydrogen so it attracts the bonding pair of electrons towards itself which creates polarity.

Compound 4. Phosphorus Trichloride

Through the Lewis structure it is confirmed that PCl₃ is a polar compound, because three chlorine atoms attached to it and as we know that chlorine is a more electronegative element so it attracts the bonding pair of electrons towards itself which creates polarity.

What is the molarity of HCl if 34.81 mL of a solution of HCl contain 0.3297 g of HCl?
Temka [501]

Answer:

0.2598 M

Explanation:

Molarity is mol/L, so we have to convert the grams to moles and the mL to L. To convert between grams and moles you need the molar mass of the compound, which is 36.46g/mol.

0.3297gHCl*\frac{1molHCl}{36.46gHCL} = 0.00904279 mol HCl

34.81 mLHCl * \frac{1L}{1000L} = 0.03481 L HCl

\frac{0.00904279molHCl}{0.03481 L HCl} = 0.25977554 mol/L

Round to the lowest number of significant figures = 0.2598 M

In terms of bonds what would the molecule C6H12 be classified as
docker41 [41]

It has a double C=C bond so that means it's unsaturated, but it can also be a cyclic compound with only simple C-C bonds
