across a period, how does the electronegativity of a nonmetal affect the acidity of its binary hydride

1 answer:

1) Across the period as one moves from left to right, atomic size decreases.

2) Consider 3rd period elements containing non-metal i.e Si, P, S and Cl.

3) Here, atomic radius of these elements are in following order Si>P>S>Cl.

4) However, electronegative of these elements increases as we move from left to right

5) Thus, the corresponding hydrides have higher electro-negativity difference,as one moves from left to right.

6) Due to this, bond polarity increases from left to right,

7) Increase in bond polarity, results in increasing proton donating capability.

8) Therefore, acidity increases as one moves along the period.

A sample of an ideal gas in a cylinder of volume 2.67 L at 298 K and 2.81 atm expands to 8.34 L by two different pathways. Path

Igoryamba

Explanation:

For path A, the calculation will be as follows.

As, for reversible isothermal expansion the formula is as follows.

W = $-2.303 nRT log(\frac{V_2}{V_1})$

Since, we are not given the number of moles here. Therefore, we assume the number of moles, n = 1 mol.

As the given data is as follows.

R = 8.314 J/(K mol), T = 298 K ,

$V_{2}$ = 8.34 L, $V_{1}$ = 2.67 L

Now, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

W = $-2.303 nRT log(\frac{V_2}{V_1})$

= $-2.303 \times 1 \times 8.314 J/K mol \times 298 log(\frac{8.34}{2.67})$

= $-2.303 \times 1 \times 8.314 J/K mol \times 298 \times 0.494$

= -2818.68 J

Hence, work for path A is -2818.68 J.

For path B, the calculation will be as follows.

Step 1: When there is no change in volume then W = 0

Hence, for step 1, W = 0

Step 2: As, the gas is allowed to expand against constant external pressure $P_{external}$ = 1.00 atm.

So, W = $-P_{external} \times \Delta V$

Now, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

W = $-P_{external} \times \Delta V$

= $-1 atm \times (8.34 L - 2.67 L)$

= -5.67 atm L

As we known that, 1 atm L = 101.33 J

Hence, work will be calculated as follows.

W = $-\frac{101.33 J}{1 atm L} \times 5.67 atm L$

= -574.54 J

Therefore, total work done by path B = 0 + (-574.54 J)

W = -574.54 J

Hence, work for path B is -574.54 J.

Why does changing the volume of a container change the pressure of the gas in it?

ollegr [7]

Answer:

Changing the volume increases the area that the molecules collide with so the force is spread over a larger area.

Explanation:

The volume of a container is the space within the container. This is the amount of void the gas can occupy.

When the volume of a container is changed, the space either increases or decreases.

An increase in volume creates more space within the container.
This spreads out the force over a larger area.

When the volume of the container is reduced,

the force is confined to much smaller space.

The frequency of collision is higher for tiny spaces.

But lower for a large volume.
