Answer : The correct option is, (C) a carbon chain with a carbonyl group bonded to one end.

Explanation :

An aldehyde is an organic compound which contain a functional group with (-CHO) i.e R-CHO

R-CHO functional group consists of a carbonyl center that means a carbon which is double-bonded to the oxygen. The carbon of this carbonyl group bonded with the hydrogen to one end and a carbon chain, (R) to another end.

Some examples of an aldehydes are formaldehyde $(HCHO)$ , acetaldehyde $(CH_3CHO)$

Therefore, the correct answer is, (C)

Between which of these pairs of elements is a covalent bond most likely to form?

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

The correct option here is the first option

Explanation:

Covalent bond is the bond that involves the sharing of electrons between the participating atoms. The electrons (in the outermost shells of the atoms) that are involved this sharing are called the "shared pair" while those electrons (in the outermost shells of the atoms) that are not involved in this sharing are called the "lone pair". Bonding eventually leads to each of the participating atoms achieving it's octet configuration.

Carbon will bind covalently with fluorine (to form carbon tetrafluoride) with each of the electrons on the outermost shell of the carbon been shared covalently with fluorine atoms (that also requires just one electron to achieve it's octet configuration). Thus, at the end, we would have one carbon atom being covalently linked to four flourine atoms.

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

The yearly release of $CO_2$ into the atmosphere is $6.73\times 10^{10} kg$ .

Explanation:

$CaCO_3(s)\rightarrow CaO(s) + CO_2(g)$

Annual production of CaO = $8.6\times 10^{10} kg=8.6\times 10^{13} g$

Moles of CaO :

$\frac{8.6\times 10^{13} g}{56 g/mol}=1.53\times 10^{12} moles$

According to reaction, 1 mole of CaO is produced along with 1 mole of carbon-dioxide.

Then along with $1.53\times 10^{12} moles$ of CaO moles of carbon-dioxide moles produced will be:

$\frac{1}{1}\times 1.53\times 10^{12} moles=1.53\times 10^{12} moles$ of carbon-dioxide

Mass of $1.53\times 10^{12}$ moles of carbon-dioxide:

$1.53\times 10^{12}mol\times 44 g/mol=6.73\times 10^{13} g =6.73\times 10^{10} kg$

The yearly release of $CO_2$ into the atmosphere is $6.73\times 10^{10} kg$ .

A balloon is filled with 2.5 L of helium at 1 atm of pressure. If the pressure

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

5 L

Explanation:

Given data

Initial pressure (P₁): 1 atm

Initial volume (V₁): 2.5 L

Final pressure (P₂): 0.50 atm

Final volume (V₂): ?

For a gas, there is an inverse relationship between the pressure and the volume. Mathematically, for an ideal gas that undergoes an isothermic change, this is expressed through Boyle's law.

$P_1 \times V_1 = P_2 \times V_2\\V_2 = \frac{P_1 \times V_1}{P_2} = \frac{1atm \times 2.5L}{0.50atm}= 5 L$
