If the molecule of HCl were totally polar, the expected value of dipole moment is 6.12 D (debye), but the experimental value of dipole moment was 1.03D . Calculate the percentage ionic character:

A

17

B

83

C

50

D

zero

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

A

Percentage ionic character
` = (" experimental value of DM " )/(" theoretical value of DM " ) xx 100 `
` = (1.03)/(6.12) xx 100`
17%
