Explanation:

In an ionic compound, there will be strong force of attraction between the combining atoms due to the opposite charges present on them.

For example, $CaBr_{2}$ is an ionic compound where calcium has a +2 charge and each bromine atom has a -1 charge.

Therefore, in order to break the bond we need to provide more heat. Hence, boiling point of calcium bromide will be the highest.

$NBr_{3}$ is a covalent compound and as nitrogen is more electronegative in nature and also has a lone pair of electron hence, there will be a net dipole moment.

$CBr_{4}$ is also a covalent compound. And, as bromine is more electronegative than carbon atom so, dipole moment is in the outwards direction. Hence, in $CBr_{4}$ there will be zero dipole moment.

Therefore, its boiling is less than the boiling point of $NBr_{3}$ .

$Br_{2}$ is a covalent compound and there will be no dipole moment.

Thus, we can conclude that given bromine-containing compounds are placed in their increasing boiling point order as follows.

$Br_{2}$ < $CBr_{4}$ < $NBr_{3}$ < $CaBr_{2}$

Given six molecules, identify the molecules with polar bonds and the molecules that are polar.CCl4, CH3Cl, H20, CO2, O2

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Non-polar compounds: $CCl_4$ , $O_2$ , $CO_2$

Polar compounds: $CH_3Cl$ , $H_2O$

Explanation:

For this question, we must start with the Lewis structure for each molecule and then we can do their respective analysis:

-) $CCl_4$

In this case, we have 4 equal atoms attached to the central atom. Therefore, we have the same magnitude of electronegativity. Chlorine atoms have different and opposite directions. Therefore due to the orientation the dipole moments cancel and the net dipole moment will be zero and the molecule will be non-polar.

-) $O_2$

In this case, we have a linear structure in which the magnitude of the dipole moment is the same, but the direction is the opposite. Therefore the dipole moments are canceled and the molecule will be non-polar.

-) $CO_2$

In this case, we also have a linear structure in which the magnitude of the dipole moment is the same, but the direction is the opposite. Therefore the dipole moments are canceled and the molecule will be non-polar.

-) $CH_3Cl$

For this molecule, we have a different atom. The hydrogen atom, therefore the magnitude of one of the atoms attached to the central atom is different and the magnitude of the net dipole moment will be different from zero and the molecule will be polar.

-) $H_2O$

For this molecule, due to the structure of the molecule, the dipole moments of oxygens will not have a totally opposite configuration. Therefore, the net dipole moment will be different from zero and the molecule will be polar.

The weight percent of concentrated HClO4(aq) is 70.5% and its density is 1.67 g/mL. What is the molarity of concentrated HClO4

ollegr [7]

Answer:

[HClO₄] = 11.7M

Explanation:

First of all we need to know, that a weight percent represents, the mass of solute in 100 g of solution.

Let's convert the mass to moles → 70.5 g . 1mol/100.45 g = 0.702 moles

Now we can apply the density to calculate the volume.

Density always refers to solution → Solution density = Solution mass / Solution volume

1.67 g/mL = 100 g / Solution volume

Solution volume = 100 g / 1.67 g/mL → 59.8 mL

To determine molarity (mol/L) we must convert the mL to L

59.8 mL . 1L/1000mL = 0.0598 L

Molarity → Moles of solute in 1L of solution → 0.702 mol / 0.0598 L = 11.7M

Which of the following is a correctly written chemical equation that demonstrates the conservation of mass?

Fantom [35]

Answer:

Option D is correct.

H₂O + CO₂ → H₂CO₃

Explanation:

First of all we will get to know what law of conservation of mass states.

According to this law, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

This law was given by French chemist Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

Example:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

there are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass.

Now we will apply this law to given chemical equations:

A) H₂ + O₂ → H₂O

There are two hydrogen and two oxygen atoms present on left side while on right side only one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms are present so mass in not conserved. This equation not follow the law of conservation of mass.

B) Mg + HCl → H₂ + MgCl₂

In this equation one Mg, one H and one Cl atoms are present on left side while on right side two hydrogen, one Mg and two chlorine atoms are present. This equation also not follow the law of conservation of mass.

C) KClO₃ → KCl + O₂

There are one K, one Cl and three O atoms are present on left side of chemical equation while on right side one K one Cl and two oxygen atoms are present. This equation also not following the law of conservation of mass.

D) H₂O + CO₂ → H₂CO₃

There are two hydrogen, one carbon and three oxygen atoms are present on both side of equation thus, mass remain conserved. Thus is correct option.

The equation for the pH of a substance is pH = –log[H+], where H+ is the concentration of hydrogen ions. A basic solution has a

Rzqust [24]

For the basic solution:
11.2 = -log[H+]
[H+] = 6.31 x 10⁻¹²
For the acidic solution:
2.4 = -log[H+]
[H+] = 3.98 x 10⁻³
The difference:
3.98 x 10⁻³ - 6.31 x 10⁻¹²
≈ 4.0 x 10⁻³
The answer is B
