Answer:

Explanation has been given below.

Explanation:

  • Chloroform has three polar C-Cl bonds. Methylene chloride has two polar C-Cl bonds. So it is expected that chloroform should be more polar and posses higher dipole moment than methylene chloride.
  • Two factors are liable for the opposite trend observed in dipole moments of methylene chloride and chloroform.
  • First one is the number of hyperconjugative hydrogen atoms present in a molecule. Hyperconjugation occurs with vacant d-orbital of Cl atom. Hyperconjugation amplifies charge separation in a molecule resulting higher dipole moment.
  • Methylene chloride has two hyperconjugative hydrogen atoms and chloroform has one hyperconjugative hydrogen atom.Therefore methylene chloride should have higher charge separation as compared to chloroform.
  • Second one is induction of opposite polarity in a C-Cl bond by another C-Cl bond in a molecule. Higher the opposite induction of polarity, lower the charge separation in a molecule and hence lower the dipole moment of a molecule.
  • Chloroform has three C-Cl bonds and methylene chloride has two C-Cl bonds. Therefore opposite induction is higher for chloroform resulting it's lower dipole moment.

irina1246 [14]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The mass of the system will remain the same if there is no conversion of mass to energy in the reaction.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • If the system is closed, then according to the law of mass conservation the mass of the reaction system will remain the same.
  • <u><em>Law of conservation of the mass: In simple words, it is described as the mass of a closed system can never be changed, it may transfer from one form to another or change into energy.</em></u>
  • But if the reaction involves energy transfer like heat or light production, in this case, the mass can be changed.

The beaker shown below contains a 0.58 M solution of dye in water. How many moles of dye are there in the beaker?
seropon [69]
According to the equation of molarity:

Molarity= no.of moles / volume per liter of Solution

when we have the molarity=0.58 M and the beaker at 150mL so V (per liter) = 150mL/1000 = 0.150 L

by substitution:
∴ No.of moles = Molarity * Volume of solution (per liter)
                        = 0.58 * 0.150 = 0.087 Moles

Your blood contains many dissolved solids. What do you think could be done if you needed to remove the water from a sample of bl
bezimeni [28]
An apparatus called a centrifuge is used to separate solids from the aqueous portion of blood. A sample of the blood is transferred to a small vial or test tube and this vessel is then placed into the centrifuge. The machine works by rotating the sample around a fixed axis, spinning it in a circle, and this results in a strong force being applied to the sample that is perpendicular to the axis of the spin. This force is called the centripetal force and this centripetal acceleration causes the most dense particles in the blood to move outward in the radial direction. This results in the less dense materials being displaced by the more dense materials. Once the sample vessel is retrieved from the centrifuge, the sample will be separated into layers, such that the solids are found at the bottom of the vessel. The less dense materials such as the water will be found at the top of the vessel.

Lividity in a dead body is caused by capillaries decaying due to de-oxygenation.
sineoko [7]

Livor mortis refers to the bluish-purple discoloration (lividity) under the skin of the lower body parts due to gravitation of blood after death. ... Dark pinpoint spots (Tardieu spots) are seen when capillaries rupture due to increased gravitational pressure (e.g. in the legs of a hanged person)
