Electronegativity increases as the size of the atom increases. a. True b. False

1 answer:

5 0

B. False. Electronegativity is the property of an atom or element to attract electrons during a chemical reaction. If you look at the periodic trend for electronegativity you see Flourine has the highest electronegativity and Francium is the lowest. However, Francium has the largest atomic radius and Fluorine has the smallest (aside from Hydrogen and Helium). So your statement is false. The relationship between atomic radius and electronegativity is inversely proportional so a true statement would be: As atomic radius increases, electronegativity decreases.

Answer: Apparent density of ethylene glycol 3350 = 17g/15.6mL= 1.09g/mL

Specific gravity of mixture = 1.01

Explanation:

The specific gravity of an object or substance is the ratio of the density of that object or substance to that of a reference substance usually water.

Specific gravity = density of substance/density of water

The density of a substance is the ratio of the mass of that substance to is volume.

Density = Mass/volume

Density of water 1.00 g/mL,

Apparent density of ethylene glycol 3350 = mass/volume

volume of ethylene glycol = volume of mixture - volume of water

volume of ethylene glycol = 195.6 - 180) = 15.6mL

Apparent density of ethylene glycol 3350 = 17g/15.6mL= 1.09g/mL

mass of water = density of water * volume of water

mass of water = 1.00g/mL * 180mL = 180 g

Mass of solution = mass of substance + mass of water = (17 + 180)g = 197g

Density of mixture = mass of mixture / volume of mixture

Density of mixture = 197 g / 195.6 mL = 1.01 g/mL

specific gravity of mixture = density of mixture / density of water

specific gravity of mixture = 1.01g/mL / 1.00g/mL

specific gravity of mixture = 1.01

What reaction is depicted by the given equation: au3 3e− au

mrs_skeptik [129]

This is a reduction half-reaction. Initially, gold exists as $Au^{3+}$ , and after the reaction, it has been converted to elemental gold. To make this possible, three electrons must be added to $Au^{3+}$ . This fits within the definition of reduction reactions, where the reactant gains electrons in the reaction.
