Lets find the electronegativity difference between the bonded atoms;

C-H = 2.6-2.2 = 0.4

C-F = 4.0-2.6 = 1.4

F-F = 4.0-4.0 = 0

H-O = 3.4-2.2 = 1.2

Here the electronegativity difference is highest for C-F bond hence C-F bond is most polar.

According to the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve, PO2 in the lungs of 100 mm Hg results in Hb being 98% saturated. At high

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

Hb would be 78.4% saturated.

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by using simple unitary method.

At 100 mm Hg pressure of oxygen, Hb is saturated by 98%

So, at 1 mm Hg pressure of oxygen, Hb is saturated by $\frac{98}{100}$ %

Hence, at 80 mm Hg pressure of oxygen, Hb is saturated by $\frac{98\times 80}{100}$ % or 78.4%

Therefore, at 80 mm Hg pressure of oxygen in the lungs, Hb would be 78.4% saturated.

Use this chemical equation to answer the following questions: Cl + O3 ➞ ClO + O2

barxatty [35]

Explanation:

1. Elements are substances made of the same kind of atoms, unlike compounds that are combination for different kinds of atoms. The elements in the reaction therefore are;

Cl and O₃

2. Yes, the equation is balanced. There is the same number of each element on either side of the equation. One (1) CL and three (3) O atoms.

3. Ozone is reduced. Other the other hand, Cl is oxidized. Remember a reduction reaction may involve the loss of one or more oxygen atoms or the acceptance of electrons. This occurs for O₃ which is reduced to O₂.

4. The equation complies with the conservation of matter as in the first law of thermodynamics. The number of atoms for each element on the other side of the equation remains the same. This means no matter(which also translated to energy) has been created or destroyed in the process.

Draw the resonance structures for the conjugate base of Phenol (C6H6O). In one sentence, explain why phenol (C6H6O) has a pKa of

notsponge [240]

Answer:

The four resonance structures of the phenoxide ion are shown in the image attached

The conjugate base of cyclohexanol has only one resonance contributor, while

the conjugate base of phenol has four resonance contributors.

Explanation:

In organic chemistry, it is known that structures are more stable if they possess more resonance contributors. The greater the number of contributing canonical structures, the more stable the organic specie. Since the phenoxide ion has four contributing canonical structures, it is quite much more stable than cyclohexanol having only one contributing structure to its conjugate base. Hence the PKa(acid dissociation constant) of phenol is lesser than that of cyclohexanol. The conjugate base of phenol is stabilized by resonance.
