Which scenario would cause a covalent bond to form?

1 answer:

5 0

Searching for this question, I found the options on the internet.
"1.Two atoms share electrons so they can fill their outer shells2.The constant motion of electrons and the creation of charge imbalances bonds two molecules together3.A hydrogen atom with a slight positive charge is attracted to a negative charge of another molecule or atom4.One atom loses one or more electrons and the other atom gains one or more electrons"

The correct answer would be number 1. A covalent bond is achieved when two atoms share electrons from their outer shell so that they have a full outer shell leading to the electronic configuration balance they need.

What is the vapor pressure of the solution if 35.0 g of water is dissolved in 100.0 g of ethyl alcohol at 25 ∘C? The vapor press

Answer: The vapor pressure of the solution is 43.55 mmHg

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For water:

Given mass of water = 35.0 g

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of water}=\frac{35.0g}{18g/mol}=1.944mol$

For ethyl alcohol:

Given mass of ethyl alcohol = 100.0 g

Molar mass of ethyl alcohol = 46 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of ethyl alcohol}=\frac{100.0g}{46g/mol}=2.174mol$

Total moles of solution = [1.944 = 2.174] moles = 4.118 moles

Mole fraction of a substance is given by:

$\chi_A=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}$

For water:

$\chi_{\text{water}}=\frac{n_{\text{water}}}{n_{\text{water}}+n_{\text{ethyl alcohol}}}$

$\chi_{water}=\frac{1.944}{4.118}=0.472$

For ethyl alcohol:

$\chi_{\text{ethyl alcohol}}=\frac{n_{\text{ethyl alcohol}}}{n_{\text{water}}+n_{\text{ethyl alcohol}}}$

$\chi_{\text{ethyl alcohol}}=\frac{2.174}{4.118}=0.528$

Dalton's law of partial pressure states that the total pressure of the system is equal to the sum of partial pressure of each component present in it.

To calculate the vapor pressure of the solution, we use the law given by Dalton, which is:

$P_T=\sum_{i=1}^n (p_i\times \chi_i)$
