When a reaction occurs between atoms with ground state electron configuration 1s2 2s1 and 1s2 2s2 2p5 the predominant type of bo
fenix001 [56]

Answer: The bond formed between the elements will be ionic bond.

Explanation: We are given two elements having electronic configurations:

Element 1: 1s^22s^1

Element 2: 1s^22s^22p^5

Element 1 can easily loose 1 electron to attain stable electronic configuration and Element 2 can accept 1 electron to attain stable electronic configuration.

For these elements, there will be a complete transfer of electron from Element 1 to Element 2. Hence, this will form a ionic bond.

From the configuration, Element 1 is Lithium and Element 2 is Fluoride. So, the compound is LiF.

Researchers are studying a fish population in a small pond that has algae as the only producer in the ecosystem. The scientists
Pie

Explanation:

                 Algae is a group of a photosynthetic eukaryotic organisms that plays a very important role on the ecosystem. It forms the lower base of the food chain and supports all the life forms of the ecosystem. It takes up water and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to prepare food during the process of photosynthesis and maintains a balance in the ecosystem.

                In the context, if the algae disappears, the fish might die as the small fishes feeds on this algae. This is a concern as the algae is main component of food source and forms the base of the food chain. If there will be no algae there will be no life form on earth, as all species depend on each other to survive.

                  In order to prevent this from occurring, we must protect our algae. We must plant more trees, keep our water bodies healthy, we should not litter our ponds and lakes. We should also help these algae to grow and survive so that other life forms can feed them and thus maintain the ecosystem.

Would you expect an organic compound to be soluble in water why
RSB [31]

Answer: All organic compound depends on  H-bonding with water. more stronger H-bonding with water more will be soluble.

Explanation:

1. It depends primarily upon the function groups of that compound. It also depends on the size of the compound.  

2. some organic compound which soluble in water for example: alcohols, ethers, carboxylic acids.  Because of the functional groups attached to the organic structure (the C-H backbone) are what effect the solubilities.Like carboxylic acids and alcohols form hydrogen bonds with the water, helping to solubilize it.  

3. Take alcohols for example: methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol are all completely soluble in water. By the time you get to butanol and some of the larger alcohols, including those with more complex structures, they tend to be less soluble.

The following information is given for ether, C2H5OC2H5, at 1atm: boiling point = 34.6 °C Hvap(34.6 °C) = 26.5 kJ/mol specific h
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

The heat is  H= -8.044KJ

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The pressure is  P = 1 \ atm

    The boiling point is  B_P  = 34^oC

     The heat of vaporization at 34°C is  = 26.5 kJ/mol

       The specific heat of the liquid is c_p = 2.32 J/g^oC

      The  mass is  m = 22.5g

  The no of moles of the sample of C_2 H_5OC_2H_5  is given as

               No \ mole (n)  = \frac{Mass \ of  \ sample }{Molar \ mass }

    The  Molar mass for C_2 H_5OC_2H_5  is a value = = 74.12 g/mol

Substituting the value into the above equation

          n  = \frac{22.5}{74.12}

                           = 0.30356 \ mol

      The heat H is mathematically as

                H  =- nH_{vap}

The negative sign show that the heat is for condensing

            H = 0.30356 * 26.5 *10^{3} J/mol

                H= -8.044KJ
