Which is most likely true about electronegativity?

1 answer:

8 0

Electronegativity is the tendency of an element to attract the bonded electrons towards itself. In a group, as the atomic radius increases electronegativity decreases as the outermost electron is far away from the nuclear attraction. In a period, the atomic size decreases. So, the effective nuclear charge experienced by the outermost shell increases. Therefore, across a period the electronegativity increases as the increased effective nuclear charge leads to the attraction of bonded electrons with greater ease.

Therefore the correct answer is c, electronegativity tends to increases across a period.

Water has a boiling point of 100.0°C and a Kb of 0.512°C/m. What is the boiling

Reil [10]

Answer:

The boiling point of a 8.5 m solution of Mg3(PO4)2 in water is 394.91 K.

Explanation:

The formula for molal boiling Point elevation is :

$\Delta T_{b} = iK_{b}m$

$\Delta T_{b}$ = elevation in boiling Point

$K_{b}$ = Boiling point constant( ebullioscopic constant)

m = molality of the solution

i = Van't Hoff Factor

Van't Hoff Factor = It takes into accounts,The abnormal values of Temperature change due to association and dissociation .

In solution Mg3(PO4)2 dissociates as follow :

$Mg_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}\rightarrow 3Mg^{2+} + 2 PO_{4}^{3-}$

Total ions after dissociation in solution :

= 3 ions of Mg + 2 ions of phosphate

Total ions = 5

i = Van't Hoff Factor = 5

m = 8.5 m

$K_{b}$ = 0.512 °C/m

Insert the values and calculate temperature change:

$\Delta T_{b} = iK_{b}m$

$\Delta T_{b} = 5\times 0.512\times 8.5$

$\Delta T_{b} = 21.76 K$

Boiling point of pure water = 100°C = 273.15 +100 = 373.15 K

$\Delta T_{b} = T_{b} - T_{b}_{pure}$

$T_{b}_{pure}$ = 373.15 K[/tex]

21.76 = T - 373.15

T = 373.15 + 21.76

T =394.91 K

6.0 moles of Na and 4.0 moles of Cl2 are mixed, how manu moles of NaCl in moles cane be made from this mixture

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Moles of NaCl formed is 6.0 moles

Explanation:

We are given the equation;

2 Na(s) + Cl₂(g) → 2 NaCl(s)

Moles of Na is 6.0 moles
Moles of Cl₂ is 4.0 moles

From the reaction;

2 moles of sodium reacts with 1 mole of chlorine gas to form 2 moles of NaCl

In this case;

6 moles of Na would require 3 moles of Cl₂, this means that chlorine gas is in excess.

Thus, the rate limiting reagent is sodium.

But, 2 moles of sodium reacts to form 2 moles of NaCl

Therefore;

Moles of NaCl = Moles of Na

= 6.0 moles

Thus, moles of sodium chloride produced is 6.0 moles
