Electronegativity

The tendency of an atom to pull electrons towards itself is called electronegativity.

It is the tendency of an atom to attract bonding pair of electrons towards itself. These atoms which are more electronegative are able to bear a negative charge and be stable.

Unlike electropositive elements which tend to lose electrons , electronegative elements hold on tightly to the electrons.

The electronegativity is measured using the Pauling Scale where the most electronegative element of the periodic table, Fluorine , is given a value of 4 and the rest of the elements have values lower than 4 according to the trends followed by their groups and periods.

The least electronegative element of the periodic table , Cesium has a value of 0.7 on the Pauling Scale.

Electronegativity increases when we move from left to right in the periodic table and it decreases (in general) when we move down the group.

What’s a giant hunk of rock and metal
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer: “We live on a hunk of rock and metal that circles a humdrum star that is one of 400 billion other stars that make up the Milky Way Galaxy which is one of billions of other galaxies which make up a universe which may be one of a very large number, perhaps an infinite number, of other universes. That is a perspective on human life and our culture that is well worth pondering.”

125.0 g of an unknown substance is heated to 97.0°C. It is then placed in a calorimeter than contains 250g of water with an init
Sveta_85 [38]
The heat released by the substance in the calorimeter is equal to  the heat absorbed by water which results to the decrease and increase in temperature, respectively.
We use m Cp ΔT to balance the heat involved 

(m Cp ΔT) subs in calorimeter = <span>(m Cp ΔT) water
</span>125 g * Cp * (97.0-23.5 ) C = 250 g *(4.18 J/C g)* (23.5-20)
Cp = 0.398 J/Cg

Explanation:

a. Magnesium oxide is used mainly in soil treatment and groundwater remediation, wastewater treatment, etc. it is used for it's acid buffering capacity and effectiveness in dissolving heavy metals.

b. MgO is the chemical equation for the reaction.

c. multiply the given mass of O2 by the inverse of it's molar mass. multiply the molar ratio (from the balanced equation) between O2 and MgO. Multiply by the molar mass of MgO. 32g O2 x 1 mol O2 ... 32g O2 x 2mol MgO 1mol O2 x 40g MgO. .... 1mol MgO = 80 g.

d. Mg (s) + 2 HCl (aq) produces MgCl 2(aq) + H 2 (g). Where the letter "s" stands for solids, and "g" is for gas and "aq" represents aqueous solution.

How many grams of oxygen are required to react with 17.0 grams of octane (c8h18) in the combustion of octane in gasoline?
Keith_Richards [23]
The balanced equation for the combustion of octane is as follows
2C₈H₁₈ + 25O₂ ---> 16CO₂  + 18H₂O
stoichiometry of C₈H₁₈  to O₂ is 2:25
number of octane moles reacted - 17.0 g / 114.2 g/mol = 0.149 mol 
according to molar ratio 
if 2 mol of octane reacts with 25 mol of O₂
then 0.149 mol of octane reacts with - 25 /2 x 0.149 mol = 1.86 mol of O₂
 mass of O₂  - 1.86 mol x 32 g/mol = 59.5 g
59.5 g of O₂ is required to react with
