The dipole moment (μ) of HBr (a polar covalent molecule) is 0.824D (debye), and its percent ionic character is 12.2 % . Estimate the bond length of the H−Br bond in picometers.

Note that

1 D=3.34×10−30 C⋅m and

in a bond with 100% ionic character, Q=1.6×10−19 C.

Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Solutions

Expert Solution

% ionic character = Dobs / Dionic*100

Dionic = 0.824/12.2*100 = 6.754 D

            = 6.754*3.34*10^-30 C.m

          = 2.25*10^-29 C.m

Dionic = Q*d

Q = 1.6*10^-19 C.

d = bondlength

2.25*10^-29 = 1.6*10^-19*d

d = bond length = 1.4*10^-10 m

   = 1.4*10^2 pm

The torque (T) that is exerted on a magnetic dipole moment (μ) depends on the orientation of the magnetic dipole moment. Rank the three loops of wire carrying current shown in (Figure 4) in order by the magnitude of the torque exerted on them. Rank the magnitude of the torque exerted on the loops from greatest to least. If two loops have the same magnitude of torque, place one on top of the other.
