2 electrons. it has electron configuration of 2.8.8.2 hence the last 2 will be lost for it to gain stable.

Consider the following reaction:C2H4(g) + F2(g) -----------> C2H4F2(g) Delta H = -549 kJEstimate the carbon-fluorine bond ene
frutty [35]

Answer:

Bond energy of carbon-fluorine bond is 485 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Enthalpy change for a reaction,  is given as:

\Delta H_{rxn}=\sum [n_{i}\times (E_{bond})_{i}]-\sum [n_{j}\times (E_{bond})_{j}]

Where (E_{bond})_{i}  and (E_{bond})_{j} represents average bond energy in breaking "i" th bond and forming "j" th bond respectively.n_{i} and n_{j} are number of moles of bond break and form respectively.

In this reaction, one mol of C=C, four moles of C-H and one mol of F-F bonds are broken. One mol of C-C bond, four moles of C-H bonds and two moles of C-F bonds are formed

So, -549kJ=(1mol\times 614kJ/mo)+(4mol\times E_{C-H})+(1mol\times 154kJ/mol)-(1mol\times 347kJ/mol)-(4mol\times E_{C-H})-(2mol\times E_{C-F})

or, -549kJ=(1mol\times 614kJ/mo)+(1mol\times 154kJ/mol)-(1mol\times 347kJ/mol)-(2mol\times E_{C-F})

or, E_{C-F}=485kJ/mol

So bond energy of carbon-fluorine bond is 485 kJ/mol

Look at this compound, why does magnesium has dative and covalent bonds with nitrogen? ...?
HACTEHA [7]
<span>The solid lines between N and Mg are actually ionic bonds. N has 5 valence electrons (2 of which are paired). Of the 3 that are unpaired, 2 are part of covalent bonds with adjacent carbon atoms. N accepts an extra electron to complete its octet, but gets a formal charge of -1. This allows for formation of an ionic bond with Mg, which is +2. Two of these charged N atoms therefore neutralize the charge of the central Mg. As for the coordinate (dative) covalent bonds, Mg has empty orbitals - the ionic bonds with the charged N atoms give it only 4/8 possible valence electrons.


The other two N atoms (dotted lines) have a formal charge of 0 since they form three covalent bonds with adjacent carbon atoms, but they still have a lone pair. Therefore, just to improve stability, each of these N atoms can "donate" its lone pair to Mg in order to complete its octet.


I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead!

What are the freezing and boiling points of water on the celsius temperature table
KengaRu [80]
There are 100 degrees between the freezing (0°) and boiling points (100°) of water on the Celsius scale and 180 degrees between the similar points (32° and 212°) on the Fahrenheit scale.


Problem: Two scientists are doing an experiment designed to identify the boiling point
Answer: 250°F is the higher temperature by 2°F

A formic acid buffer solution contains 0. 20 m h c o o h hcooh and 0. 24 m h c o o − hcoox−. the pka of formic acid is 3. 75. wh
irina1246 [14]

A buffer solution contains an equivalent amount of acid and base. The pH of the solution with an acid dissociation constant (pKa) value of 3.75 is 3.82.

<h3>What is pH?</h3>

The amount of hydrogen or the proton ion in the solution is expressed by the pH. It is given by the sum of pKa and the log of the concentration of acid and bases.

Given,

Concentration of salt [HCOO⁻] = 0.24 M

Concentration of acid [HCOOH] = 0.20 M

The acid dissociation constant (pKa) = 3.75

pH is calculated from the Hendersons equation as,

pH = pKa + log [salt] ÷ [acid]

pH = 3.75 + log [0.24] ÷ [0.20]

= 3.75 + log (1.2)

= 3.75 + 0.079

= 3.82

Therefore, 3.82 is the pH of the buffer.
