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 amount (moles) of compound is present in 1.00 g of each of the compounds in Exercise 54?
Anika [276]

Answer:

1. Caffeine, C₈H₁₀N₄O₂

Amount = 1.00/194 = 0.00515 moles

2. Ethanol, C₂H₅OH

Amount = 0.0217 moles

3. Dry Ice, CO₂

amount = 0.0227 moles

<em>Note: The question is incomplete. The compound are as follows:</em>

<em> 1. Caffeine, C₈H₁₀N₄O₂;</em>

<em>2. Ethanol, C₂H₅OH;</em>

<em>3. Dry Ice, CO₂</em>

Explanation:

Amount (moles) = mass in grams /molar mass in grams per mole

1. Caffeine, C₈H₁₀N₄O₂

molar mass of caffeine = 194 g/mol

Amount = 1.00 g/194 g/mol = 0.00515 moles

2. Ethanol, C₂H₅OH

molar mass of ethanol = 46 g/mol

Amount = 1.00 g/46 g/mol = 0.0217 moles

3. Dry Ice, CO₂

molar mass of dry ice = 44 g/mol

amount = 1.00 g/44 g/mol = 0.0227 moles

When 1.98g of a hydrocarbon is burned in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature increases by 2.06∘C. If the heat capacity of the ca
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

8.3 kJ

Explanation:

In this problem we have to consider that both water and the calorimeter absorb the heat of combustion, so we will calculate them:

q for water:

q H₂O = m x c x ΔT where m: mass of water = 944 mL x 1 g/mL = 944 g

                                      c: specific heat of water = 4.186 J/gºC

                                     ΔT : change in temperature = 2.06 ºC

so solving for q :

q H₂O = 944 g x 4.186 J/gºC x 2.06 ºC = 8,140 J

For calorimeter

q calorimeter  = C x  ΔT  where C: heat capacity of calorimeter = 69.6 ºC

                                     ΔT : change in temperature = 2.06 ºC

q calorimeter = 69.60J x 2.06 ºC = 143.4 J

Total heat released = 8,140 J +  143.4 J = 8,2836 J

Converting into kilojoules by dividing by 1000 we will have answered the question:

8,2836 J x 1 kJ/J = 8.3 kJ

What is the Bond Type and Molecular polarity of PCl3?
DedPeter [7]
It is covalent bonding. The electrons are shared between the phosphorus and the chlorines.

covalent bonding is when electrons are shared between two elements.

molecular polarity is a little bit complicated, but I will try to explain ;)
PCl3 is an alternation on tetrahedral molecules.
It means that P has one lone pair of electrons. This pair of electrons are only attracted to the P nuclei and thus a greater freedom of motion.
This means that their orbital is bigger and this pushes the 3 Cl atoms closer together.
The angle between each Cl now is 107 and the angle between Cls and P is greater than 107.
Now, due to this shape, and also electronegativity (Cl is more electronegative than P meaning that it tends to hog the electrons they share closer to itself), PCl3 is polar. Electrons that are shared tend to flow closer towards the Cl than the P side.
Therefore, on the Cl side of the molecule it's, more negative. On the P side, it's more positive.
