In general, the presence of atoms of what element(s) makes a molecule polar

Chemistry

A molecule's polarity is influenced not only by specific atoms but also by its symmetry. For instance, alkanes are typically non-polar due to the absence of a net dipole moment. A dipole moment occurs because of differences in electronegativity between carbon and other elements, commonly oxygen, halogens, and nitrogen, which, due to their high electronegativity, create a net dipole moment and thus polarity.

H_3C-CH_3 exhibits symmetry and is therefore non-polar.

H_3C-O-CH_3, being asymmetrical, is polar due to its bent structure influenced by the oxygen's lone pairs.

A certain liquid has a density of 2.67 g/ cm3. what is the mass of 30.5 ml of this liquid? (
lorasvet [2549]
Hello!

density = 2.67 g/cm³

volume = 30.5 mL

Thus:

Mass = density * volume

Mass = 2.67 * 30.5

Mass = 81.435 g

Select the option that correctly completes this statement: If the reaction takes place at a constant volume in a thermally insul
KiRa [2731]

Answer:

The temperature of the gas rises.

Explanation:

This is classified as an ISOCHORIC process where the volume remains unchanged. There is no work done by the system.

The gas only receives internal energy from the heat transferred to it from the surroundings.

In this situation, the pressure also increases.

Calculate the number of grams of carbon dioxide produced from complete combustion of one liter of octane by placing the conversi
Tems11 [2416]

Answer:

15.71g

Explanation:

The combustion equation that applies to hydrocarbons is

CxHy + (x+y/4) O2 = xCO2 + (y/2) H2O

In the case of octane, C8H18:

C8H18 + ( 8 + 18/4 ) O2 = 8CO2 + 9H2O

C8H18 + 50/4 O2 = 8CO2 + 9H2O

C8H18 + 25/2 O2 = 8CO2 + 9H2O

2C8H18 + 25 O2 = 16 CO2 + 18H2O (this is the balanced equation)

From this balanced reaction,

2 x 22.4 L of octane generates 16 [ 12 + (16 x 2)] of carbon dioxide

That means,

44.8 L of octane generates 704g of carbon dioxide

Thus, for 1L of octane, it produces 1 L x 704g/44.8 L = 15.71g of carbon dioxide

Consequently, 15.71g of carbon dioxide is produced from the complete combustion of 1 L of octane.

Determine the type of each chemical equation describing a precipitation reaction. C a 2 + ( a q ) + S O 4 2 − ( a q ) ⟶ C a S O
lorasvet [2549]

Answer:

C a B r 2 ( a q ) + N a 2 S O 4 ( a q ) ⟶ 2 N a B r ( a q ) + C a S O 4 ( s )

Explanation:

A precipitation reaction involves a displacement process where a solid precipitate forms. This precipitate, being solid, is distinct from the other products and can be separated.

C a 2 + ( a q ) + S O 4 2 − ( a q ) ⟶ C a S O 4 ( s )

This equation is incorrect as it results in only C a S O 4.

C a B r 2 ( a q ) + N a 2 S O 4 ( a q ) ⟶ 2 N a B r ( a q ) + C a S O 4 ( s )

This is the proper reaction where C a S O 4 precipitate is produced.

C a 2 + ( a q ) + 2 B r − ( a q ) + 2 N a + ( a q ) + S O 4 2 − ( a q ) ⟶ 2 N a + ( a q ) + 2 B r − ( a q ) + C a S O 4 ( s )

This equation illustrates the ionic details of the precipitation reaction.

Copper(II) bromide is used as a wood preservative. What mass of CuBr2 is needed to prepare 750.0 mL of a 1.25 M solution?
lorasvet [2549]
Calculation yields 209.53. The molar concentration is calculated by moles divided by volume. Given the volume of 750 mL, which translates to 0.75 L, the moles of CuBr₂ can be determined as molar concentration multiplied by volume, resulting in 1.25 × 0.75 = 0.9375. Mole count is derived from the mass of CuBr₂ divided by its molecular mass. The molecular mass of CuBr₂ is computed as 63.5 + 80 × 2 = 223.5, where the mass of Cu is 63.5 and that of Br is 80. Consequently, the mass needed amounts to 223.5 × 0.9375 = 209.53 g.
