Methylene chloride (CH2Cl2) has fewer chlorine atoms than chloroform (CHCl3). Nevertheless, methylene chloride has a larger mole

cular dipole moment than chloroform. Explain.

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.

What is the percentage of water in the following compound? Answer using three significant figures. Sodium carbonate decahydrate,
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
The trick for this problem is to understand atomic mass: the fact that different atoms have different masses. What we need to do is add up all the atomic masses of the compound and work out the ratio of mass of water to the mass of sodium carbonate. Atomic masses are often given for each atom in the periodic table, but you can look them up on google too.

You can do this by adding up individual atoms for each molecule, or you can shortcut and lookup the molar mass of the compound (i.e.the task already done for you). 

The molar mass of water is 18.01g/mole so for 10 moles of water we have a mass of 180.1g.


The molar mass of sodium carbonate is 106g/mole (google).

So the total mass of the sodium carbonate decahydrate compound is 180.1+106 = 286.1g, of which water would make up 180.1g, so the percentage of water is is 180.1/286.1 = 0.629, so we can round this to 63%

crimeas [40]
1. What do they have in common?

As mentioned in the problem, these gases are present in equal amounts. So, that would infer that they are common in terms of their mass. Also, it is specified that the temperature is 25°C. Connected to that is the average kinetic energy, which is directly proportional. Hence, they are also common in temperature and average kinetic energy.

2. What are the differences?

They differ in type, of course. Also, they differ in average velocities which is a factor of temperature of molar mass. Since they are 3 different types of gases with different molar masses, they would also differ in their average velocities.

Titration of a 20.0-mL sample of acid rain required 1.7 mL of 0.0811 M NaOH to reach the end point. If we assume that the acidit
Rasek [7]

Answer:

Concentration of sulfuric acid in the acid rain sample is 0.0034467 mol/L.

Explanation:

Volume of NaOH = 1.7 ml = 0.0017 L

Molarity of NaOH = 0.0811 M

Moles of NaOH = n

0.0811 M=\frac{n}{0.0017 L}

n = 0.0001378 mol

H_2SO_4+2NaOH\rightarrow Na_2SO_4+2H_2O

According to reaction, 2 mol of NaOH neutralize 1 mol of sulfuric acid.

Then 0.0001378 mol of NaOH will neutralize:

\frac{1}{2}\times 0.0001378 mol=6.8935\times 10^{-5} mol of sulfuric acid.

Concentration of sulfuric acid in the acid rain sample: x

x=\frac{6.8935\times 10^{-5}}{0.02 L}=0.0034467 mol/L

Concentration of sulfuric acid in the acid rain sample is 0.0034467 mol/L.

Neutrons were discovered in 1932, more than 10 years after the existence of isotopes was confirmed. What property of electrons a
kirza4 [7]

Protons and neutrons are the sub-atomic particles present in the nucleus of an atom where as electrons are present revolving round the nucleus in orbits. Electrons are negatively charged, protons are positively charged where as a neutron is a neutral species. It is the presence of electric charge that lead to the discovery of electrons (negative charge) and protons (positive charge), while it took time to discover neutral as they were electrically neutral species. Neutrons carrying no charge were not detected easily by passing electromagnetic radiations. Therefore, neutrons were the last of the three subatomic particles, to be discovered.
