Question

The dipole moments of SO2 and CO2 are $5.37 \times 10^{-30}$ C.m and zero respectively. What can be said about the shapes of the two molecules?

Answer 1

"The sulphur dioxide molecule have dipole moment value is "1.61 Debye". It is a bent molecule with a sulphur atom is placed in the central and two atoms of oxygen on the sides, one oxygen atom is connected by a double bond and the other oxygen ion by a single bond.

The "carbon dioxide" molecule have zero dipole moment because in this molecule carbon is a central atoms and two oxygen are bonded by double bond and it is a linear molecule. Therefore, the two opposite charges are cancel to each other.

The shape of the $S{ O }_{ 2 }\quad and\quad C{ O }_{ 2 }$ molecule is shown below."

Answer 2

Explanation:

The constant, further, is the same for all gases, provided that the mass of gas being compared is one mole, or one molecular weight in grams. For one mole, therefore, pV/T = R. The dimensions of the universal gas constant R are energy per degree per mole.
