I never understood how to know which one has more/less overall dipole. Can anyone explain this to me? The answer is D

The Cl atoms are electronegative, look for the symmetry, D has the Cl pulling the electrons in opposite directions and canceling each other out.
Arent the Cl atoms in option B also pulling in opposite directions? or does that count as the same direction?

Imagine the molecule flat on a table.

Visualise placing your fingers where the Cl atoms are and apply a pulling force.

You should be able to see that molecule B "moves upwards" (due to an overall dipole moment) , whereas molecule D remains stationary.

Its analogous to forces in physics.

You can try to create the 2 half equations

2HIO + 2H+ + 2e- --> I2 + 2H2O ------ (1)

HIO -+ 2H2O -> HIO3 + 4H+ + 4e- ------ (2)

Before combining the 2 equations, we need to make both equations have the same number of electrons
(2) x 2 + (1)

So ratio of I2 to HIO3 is 2: 1
Oxidation state of I in HIO, I2 and HIO3 is +1, 0 and +5 respectively.
Oxidation change from HIO to I2 is -2 (not -1 coz I-I)
Oxidation change from HIO to HIO3 is +4
View attachment 54137
Interchange the numbers, ie 2 for HIO3 and 4 for I2
2 : 4 ----> 1 : 2
n = 2 p = 1
thanks loadz! :)

How is this possible? :/

i will tell u wat i think :p
they are asking abt RATE ryt?
removing ammonia will shift the equilibrium towards the forward reaction but rate wont increase i guess
check the rest of the options - all are the factors which affects the rate nd will definitely increase the rate of reaction
rate is like speed of the reaction and that is related to collisions nd all

How can we know if the fwd rate is increase or not by the shifting of eq to fwd direction?
Check out C - My confusion.

ok till now i had the same problem like u....i used to be like its favoring forward reaction so rate of the reaction will be high
but most of the questions are just related to the factors which affect the rate
C- at first i wud say its wrong but see increasing temperature increases the kinetic energy of the molecules so more effective collisions which increases the rate of the reaction

removing ammonia will shift the equilibrium forward nd we will get more amount of ammonia but nothing will happen to rate...this is wat i understood :/

That is correct, rate is dependent on temp, concentration and presence of catalyst.

Equilibrium is a ratio of the forward rate and backward rate.

In option D, the forward rate remains the same while the backward rate decreases.

PLEASEEEE HELPPPPPPP

CORRECT ANSWER IS C.
write the whole reaction nd see
CH3Cl isnt possible ---- it wud form when methane reacts with Cl
B - has three carbon atoms which will form when propane reacts with Cl
C- its formed when two CH3CH2• combine
D- its not possible to get it in this reaction in the termination step

tell me if u still dont get......but iam sure if u write da reaction u will surely get it :)

Pressure and temperature increase the rate of BOTH backward and forward reaction, its just that either the forward or backward is increased by a higher amount. In the case of haber process higher temp increases the backward reaction MORE than it increases the forward reaction, hence it shifts to the left hand side, but in general an increase in pressure/temp increases both forward and backward reaction.

concentration too yea?

How do we solve this?!!

Two glass vessels M and N are connected by a closed valve.

M contains helium at 20 °C at a pressure of 1 x 10^5 Pa. N has been evacuated, and has three times the volume of M. In an experiment, the valve is opened and the temperature of the whole apparatus is raised to 100 °C.

What is the final pressure in the system?

a. 3.18 x 10^4 Pa
b. 4.24 x 10^4 Pa
c.1.25 x 10^5 Pa
d.5.09 x 10^5 Pa
