How do scientists prevent the nonpolar perfluorocarbons
Pavel [41]

Scientists prevent the nonpolar perfluorocarbons

in Oxygent from separating from the water by adding surfactant.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The  collection of oxygen from lungs and transporting it  all those tissues present in the human body and taking carbon dioxide back to lungs are the main functions of the hemoglobin. But, instead of this hemoglobin, When perfluorocarbons , a nonpolar chemical is used to perform the same function for the oxygen transportation, the nonpolar chemical may not mix well with the water when this perfluorocarbons is taken through a water-based saline .

For this purpose an addition of a chemical called surfactant is done. This will enhance the chemical bonding between the non polar chemical and water. The perfluorocarbons  spreads into some droplets and gets coated with this bonding substance. Thus it gets attached to the water.

Element A has an electronegativity of 0.8 and element B has an electronegativity of 3.0. Which statement best describes the bond
Advocard [28]

Answer:

C) The compound is largely ionic with A as the cation.

Explanation:

Pulings proposed the method to determine if the compound is ionic in nature or covalent in nature , by finding the difference between the electronegativity of the respective cation and anion .

The ion with higher electronegativity is the anion and the ion with lower electronegativity is the cation.

The electronegativity difference above 1.7 make the compound ionic in nature.

Hence, from the question ,

A is the cation and B is the anion.

And the electronegativity difference above 1.7 so the compound is ionic in nature.

What is not true of a strong base? A. It must have a concentration above 1.0 M. B. It is always a strong electrolyte in water. C
Rashid [163]
The choices are true about the characteristic of a strong base, except for it having a concentration of above 1.0 M. Therefore, the answer is letter A. The concentration of the base is not a very important as to how strong really the base is.
