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.

Tetrachloromethane, CCl4 is produced from the substitution reaction between methane and chlorine gas. If the rate of formation o
Korolek [52]

The rate of disappearance of chlorine gas : 0.2 mol/dm³

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The reaction rate (v) shows the change in the concentration of the substance (changes in addition to concentrations for reaction products or changes in concentration reduction for reactants) per unit time.

For reaction :

\tt aA+bB\rightarrow cC+dD

The rate reaction :

\tt -\dfrac{1}{a}\dfrac{d[-A]}{dt}= -\dfrac{1}{b}\dfrac{d[-B]}{dt}=\dfrac{1}{c}\dfrac{d[C]}{dt}=\dfrac{1}{d}\dfrac{d[D]}{dt}

Reaction for formation CCl₄ :

<em>CH₄+4Cl₂⇒CCl₄+4HCl</em>

<em />

From equation, rate of reaction = rate of formation CCl₄ = 0.05 mol/dm³

Rate of formation of  CCl₄  = reaction rate x coefficient of  CCCl₄

0.05 mol/dm³ = reaction rate x 1⇒reaction rate = 0.05 mol/dm³

The rate of disappearance of chlorine gas (Cl₂) :

Rate of disappearance of  Cl₂  = reaction rate x coefficient of  Cl₂

Rate of disappearance of  Cl₂ = 0.05 x 4 = 0.2 mol/dm³

Which would exert more pressure on the floor, a 100kg man wearing snow shoes or a 60kg woman wearing high heels? PLEASE EXPLAIN
iris [78.8K]

Pressure can be defined as the force acting on a perpendicular surface per unit area.

Force exerted by a man of mass 100 kg wearing snow shoes = m.a

Where m = mass of the man = 100 kg

a = acceleration due to gravity= 9.8 m/s^{2}

Force exerted by the man of mass 100 kg = 100 kg(9.8 m/s^{2}) = 980 N

Force exerted by woman of mass 60 kg = 60 kg(9.8 m/s^{2}) = 588 N

Force exerted by 100 kg man is greater than that exerted as 60 kg woman. The area on which this force is acting determines the pressure. Pressure is inversely proportional to the area on which the force acts. Therefore, the pressure exerted by 100 kg man wearing snow shoes is less than the pressure exerted by a 60 kg woman woman wearing high heels as the force acts over a larger area when the man wears snow shoes when compared to the force exerted over a smaller area in case of the woman wearing high heels.
