Carbon bonds with many nonmetals very easily. this is part of the reason why life (as we know it) is carbon based. which element when bonded with carbon will pull on the electrons in the bond the most, and produce the biggest dipole?
a) c-br
b) c-cl
c) c-f
d) c-h

About 3% of the water on earth is freshest. only about 40% of that freshwater is available for human use. why is so much freshwater unavailable for human use?

There are two steps in the usual industrial preparation of acrylic acid, the immediate precursor of several useful plastics. in the first step, calcium carbide and water react to form acetylene and calcium hydroxide: cac2 (s) + 2h2o (g) → c2h2 (g) + caoh2 (s) =δh−414.kj in the second step, acetylene, carbon dioxide and water react to form acrylic acid: 6c2h2 (g) + 3co2 (g) + 4h2o (g) → 5ch2chco2h (g) =δh132.kj calculate the net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of acrylic acid from calcium carbide, water and carbon dioxide from these reactions. round your answer to the nearest kj .
