The correct answer is statement 3, the difference in electronegativity between carbon and oxygen is greater than that between fluorine and oxygen. The most polar bond is the one with the highest difference in electronegativity values between two atoms. In this case, the C-O bond.

Answer: (3) The difference in electronegativity between carbon and oxygen is greater than that between fluorine and oxygen.

Explanation: Polarity of a molecule is due to the difference in electronegativity of the atoms. More is the electronegativity difference, more is the polarity.

Electronegativity of carbon = 2.5

Electronegativity of oxygen = 3.5

Electronegativity of fluorine = 4.0

Thus the difference in electronegativity of carbon and oxygen is=(3.5-2.5)= 1.0

Thus the difference in electronegativity of fluorine and oxygen is=(4.0-3.5)= 0.5.

Thus C-O bond is more polar than F-O bond.

Explanation:

First, calculate the moles of $CO_{2}$ using ideal gas equation as follows.

PV = nRT

or, n = $\frac{PV}{RT}$

= $\frac{1 atm \times 4.41 ml}{0.0821 Latm/mol K \times 293 K}$ (as 1 bar = 1 atm (approx))

= 0.183 mol

As, Density = $\frac{mass}{volume}$

Hence, mass of water will be as follows.

Density = $\frac{mass}{volume}$

0.998 g/ml = $\frac{mass}{3.26 ml}$

mass = 3.25 g

Similarly, calculate the moles of water as follows.

No. of moles = $\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}$

= $\frac{3.25 g}{18.02 g/mol}$

= 0.180 mol

Moles of hydrogen = $0.180 \times 2$ = 0.36 mol

Now, mass of carbon will be as follows.

No. of moles = $\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}$

0.183 mol = $\frac{mass}{12 g/mol}$

= 2.19 g

Therefore, mass of oxygen will be as follows.

Mass of O = mass of sample - (mass of C + mass of H)

= 3.50 g - (2.19 g + 0.36 g)

= 0.95 g

Therefore, moles of oxygen will be as follows.

No. of moles = $\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}$

= $\frac{0.95 g}{16 g/mol}$

= 0.059 mol

Now, diving number of moles of each element of the compound by smallest no. of moles as follows.

C H O

No. of moles: 0.183 0.36 0.059

On dividing: 3.1 6.1 1

Therefore, empirical formula of the given compound is $C_{3}H_{6}O$ .

Thus, we can conclude that empirical formula of the given compound is $C_{3}H_{6}O$ .

How does a physical change obey the law of conservation of mass?

iren2701 [21]

Let's consider water.
Regardless of what form it turns into, the mass should remain the same.
It's the same H20.
Add some heat and it becomes water vapor,
cool it down a bit and it becomes ice.
if you make it just right, it becomes water again.

A chemical change would involve the one or more element(s) changing into a different solution all together.
It cannot be reversed unless you use electrolysis or some other method.

How many moles of iron is needed to react completely with 5.00 moles of sulfur to form iron

Ghella [55]

Answer:

5 moles of Fe(II) are required to react completely with the 5 moles of Sulphur

Explanation:

The balanced equation in this question is

Iron + Sulfur = Iron(II) Sulfide

Fe (II) + S --> Fe(II)S

Thus one mole of sulfur reacts with one mole of Fe(II)

Hence, 5 moles of Fe(II) are required to react completely with the 5 moles of Sulphur
