Chemistry Questions

Acid Precipitation or Acid rain is caused by a mix of Sulfur Dioxide, Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen Oxides.

A Chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air. These substances can rise very high into the atmosphere, where they mix and react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form more acidic pollutants, known as Acid Rains.

True, Water is a Pure substance and not a mixture.

We know that, A mixture is when two or more substances combine physically together. You can find that the mixture retains the properties of the original components.

In water, two hydrogen atoms combine with one oxygen atom chemically, forming a new substance that has properties different from hydrogen alone or oxygen alone.

Therefore, water is not a mixture; it is a compound and it is pure.

You have to consider three things.

1. First, are the bonds polar?

Look at differences in electronegativity and if  it is >0.5, bonds are polar.

2. Second, does the molecule have unshared electron pairs?

If so, they generally lead to a polar molecule.

3. Third, is the molecule symmetric?

If so, then although the bonds may be polar, the symmetry cancels out the individual bond polarity and the molecule is non polar.

CF4 follows all the rules above and has a symmetric distribution of charge, making it nonpolar. The others all have asymmetric charge distributions.

Hence, CF4 represents a Non-polar molecule.

Acid which is present in vinegar is approximately 5 % of acetic acid. This can be confirmed by testing the vinegar with magnesium which gives out hydrogen as a gas.

Alum is a common alum, potassium aluminum sulphate K2SO4.Al2SO43.24H2O which makes colloidally suspended impurities in water such as clay to settle down.
