Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 434

Question: Dipole moment of H2O is 1.85 D. If the bond angle is  105 and OH bond length is  0.94Ao, , what is the magnitude of charge on the oxygen atom in water molecule-

Options:

A) 2×1010esu

B) 4.28×1010esu

C) 3.22×1010esu

D) 1.602×1019C

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

  • μ=1.85,D=1.85×1018esu,cm=q×d

cos52.5=d0.94A,d=0.609×0.94A,

=0.572A,
,μ=q×d

q1=μd=1.85D0.572A,

=1.85×1018esu,cm0.572×108cm

=3.2×1010esu
