Chemistry

Answer:

Phosphorus is more electronegative than hydrogen

Explanation:

Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons towards itself thereby making a molecule to be polar. The Pauling scale is the most commonly used to measure electronegativity. Fluorine (the most electronegative element) is assigned a value of 4.0 on the Pauling's scale, and values range down to caesium and francium which are the least electronegative elements.

Electronegativity increases from left to right across the periodic table (across the period) hence, phosphorus is far more electronegative than hydrogen. Being more electronegative than hydrogen, phosphorus attracts the bonding electron pair of the P-H bond closer to itself than hydrogen. Since the electrons of the bond are closer to phosphorus than hydrogen, the phosphorus atom acquires a partial negative charge while the hydrogen atom acquires a partial positive charge.

If 65.5 moles of an ideal gas is at 9.15 atm at 50.30 °C, what is the volume of the gas?
qwelly [4]
To calculate for the volume, we need a relation to relate the number of moles (n), pressure (P), and temperature (T) with volume (V). For simplification, we assume the gas is an ideal gas. So, we use PV=nRT.

PV = nRT  where R is the universal gas constant
V = nRT / P
V = 65.5 ( 0.08205 ) (273.15 + 50.30) / 9.15 
V = 189.98 L
