- Is carbon dioxide slightly or highly soluble in water?
Carbon dioxide content in air is only 0 03%, but it is highly soluble in water unlike oxygen and one volume of CO2 dissolves in equal volume of water, the solubility being higher at low temperature From European Environment Agency: Carbon dioxide is a colourless, odourless gas, denser than air that occurs naturally in the earth's atmosphere
- If CO2 is nonpolar how come much more dissolves in water than O2?
CO2 has no dipole moment, but that doesn't make it nonpolar The combined opposed dipole moments give the whole molecule a "quadrupole moment" meaning that if there is a 4-pole electric field with positive at north and south and negative at east and west, the CO2 molecule will tend to turn to a north-south orientation
- Hybridization of carbon in CO2 - Chemistry Stack Exchange
Carbon uses one of its non-hybridized p-atoms to bond to one oxygen, the other to bond to another oxygen These bonds are pi-bonds, they lie in the form of a cross, at right angles to each other Besides this, carbon is bonded to each of the oxygens via sigma-bonds, using its two sp-hybridized atoms
- Why is carbon dioxide nonpolar? - Chemistry Stack Exchange
I understand that polarity corresponds to an electronegativity difference and that the larger the electronegativity difference, the more polar the bond However, I have read that carbon dioxide is
- Why does Co2+ have 7 electrons in the 3d orbital, and not 5 like Mn?
Why does Co2+ have 7 electrons in the 3d orbital, and not 5 like Mn? Ask Question Asked 11 years, 3 months ago Modified 7 years, 3 months ago
- Why is carbon dioxide considered a Lewis acid?
$\ce {CO2}$ is considered a Lewis acid How it is an acid? According to Lewis: “species that accept an electron pair are acids” But $\ce {CO2}$ can't accept electron pairs because oxygen and carbon
- Reaction between NaOH and CO2 - Chemistry Stack Exchange
So I wanted to know what the reaction between sodium hydroxide and carbon dioxide can be, and upon research I got 2 answers The first one is $$\\ce{CO2 + NaOH(aq) - gt; NaHCO3(aq)}$$ and the seco
- How much heat is needed to break CO2 down to CO?
Heating CO2 at atmospheric pressure: At 1000K it is still essentially all CO2 At 2000K: 98% CO2, 1 4% CO, 0 7% O2 At 3000K: 44% CO2, 36% CO, 16% O2, 4% O At 5000K: 50% CO, 50% O only at even higher temperature does significant atomic C appear (9% at 6000K) See Thermal decomposition of carbon dioxide in an argon plasma jet for more information
