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.

arsen [322]

Answer:

7.94 x 10^6 mol

Explanation:

PV=nRT

n=(PV)/(RT)

n=(1.10*12.0)/(8314*200)

n=7.94 x 10^6 mol

We consider a spherical air bubble rising through a water tank. The pressurepinside the bubble isequal to its surrounding pressu

DENIUS [597]

The answer is a change in internal energy causes work to be done and heat to flow into the system.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Boyle's law says, PV=RT

Here P represents the pressure, V represents the volume and T represents the temperature. R is a constant. The volume of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its pressure if the temperature is constant.
When a bubble is present in deep water it has water pressure and atmospheric pressure. Then the Volume increases when water pressure raises which is proportional to the depth reduces.
But we should not finalize the volume of the bubble will be four-time as great as at the top than the bottom. if the bottom of the lake is at four atmospheres, the temperature will not be equal to the top.
If the bubble travels from the bottom to the top or vice-versa, it's going to lose or gain heat in a way that must be quite hard to measure.
