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.

Compare and contrast comets and meteors. What are the impacts each might have on Earth?
balandron [24]
Comets are objects in the space that is composed mainly of dust and ice. While approaching the sun, a tail grows. Comets have nucleus which represents the hard rock object. As it nears the sun, it heats up the comet causing it to vaporize. Meteors, on the other hand, are what we call "shooting stars". They are interplanetary dusts that burn up as it approaches the Earth's atmosphere.

You are given a 1.00 molal solution of an unknown solute dissolved in water and told that you must determine if the solute is a
aniked [119]

Answer: Yes, the solute is a weak electrolyte

Explanation:

Depression in freezing point is given by:

\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times m

\Delta T_f=T_f^0-T_f=(0-(-2.05))^0C=2.05^0C = Depression in freezing point

i= vant hoff factor = ?

K_f = freezing point constant = 1.86^0C/m

m= molality

\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times m

2.05=i\times 1.86\times 1

i=1.10

As i for non electrolytes is 1, the given compound must be an electrolyte and a weak electrolyte as the value is only slightly greater than 1.

A sample of milk kept at 25 °C is found to sour 40 times as rapidly as when it is kept at 4 °C. Estimate the activation energy f
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

120.575 kJ is the activation energy for the souring process.

Explanation:

The formula for an activation energy is given as:

\log (\frac{K_2}{K_1})=\frac{Ea}{2.303\times R}[\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2}]

where,

K_1 = rate constant at 25^oC = 40k

K_2 = rate constant at 4^oC = k

Ea = activation energy for the reaction = ?

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mole.K

T_1 = initial temperature = 25^oC=273+25=298 K

T_2 = final temperature = 4^oC=273+4=277 K

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:l

\log (\frac{k}{40k})=\frac{Ea}{2.303\times 8.314 J/mol K}[\frac{1}{298K}-\frac{1}{277 K}]

E_a=120,575.61J=120.575 kJ

120.575 kJ is the activation energy for the souring process.

The atria beat prior to the ventricles. What purpose does this serve?
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

The atria and ventricles work together, alternately contracting and relaxing to pump blood through your heart. The electrical system of your heart is the power source that makes this possible.

Your heartbeat is triggered by electrical impulses that travel down a special pathway through your heart:
