Which bond has the greatest ionic character? A) H-Cl B) H-F c) H-O d) H-N

1 answer:

5 0

I really hope that this helps. H-F because the difference in electronegativity is the greatest, about 1.9 on the Pauling scale. The term means which bond has the greatest polarity and is thus most similar to an ionic bond, which involves the transfer of an electron (in opposition to covalent bonds, which share electrons). It is H-F because out of all the atoms here bonded with H, ie hydrogen, F is the most electronegative which means it can pull the bonded electrons to itself more than can Cl, O, and N. <span>That means a stronger polarization of the electron cloud forming the bond with hydrogen and therefore a stronger ionic character.</span>

Consider the reaction below. Initially the concentration of SO2Cl2 is 0.1000 M. Solve for the equilibrium concentration of SO2Cl

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

$[SO_2Cl_2] = 0.09983 M$

Explanation:

Write the balance chemical equation ,

$SO_2Cl_2((g) = SO_2(g) + Cl_2(g)$

initial concenration of $SO_2Cl_2((g) =0.1M$

lets assume that degree of dissociation= $\alpha$

concenration of each component at equilibrium:

$[SO_2Cl_2] = 0.1-0.1\alpha$

$[SO_2] = 0.1\alpha$

$[Cl_2] = 0.1\alpha$

$Kc =\frac{0.1\alpha \times 0.1\alpha}{0.1-0.1\alpha}$

$Kc =\frac{0.1\alpha \times \alpha}{1-\alpha}$

as $\alpha$ is very small then we can neglect $1-\alpha$

therefore ,

$Kc ={0.1\alpha \times \alpha}$

$\alpha =\sqrt{\frac{Kc}{0.1}}$

$\alpha = 1.73 \times 10^{-3}$

Eqilibrium concenration of $[SO_2Cl_2] = 0.1-0.1\alpha = 0.1-0.1\times 0.00173$

$[SO_2Cl_2] = 0.09983 M$

The rate of reaction was measured during a chemical reaction. After the first 3 seconds, the rate of reaction was 1.8 x10-6 M/s.

avanturin [10]

Answer:

The rate would be lower and the concentration of reactants would be lower.

Explanation:

The rate of a chemical reaction depends on the rate constant and the concentration of reactants.

For Ex:

For a reaction experimentally given by A + B ----> C + D

Rate = k[A][B]

where k is the rate constant

[A] = concentration of reactant A

[B] = concentration of reactant B

As the reaction proceeds,the concentration of reactant decrease and concentration of products increase.Rate constant k depends only on temperature and activation energy.Hence it will remain constant throughout the reaction assuming that reaction is carried out at constant temperature and pressure.

Hence rate will depend only on concentration of reactants and hence decrease with decrease in concentration of reactants.
