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.

I NEED HELP PLEASE!!!! CHEMISTRY QUESTION: If 38 g of Li3P and 15 grams of Al2O3 are reacted, what total mass of products will r

maksim [4K]

Answer:

21.5 g.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the reaction between the given compounds is:

$2Li_3P+Al_2O_3\rightarrow 3Li_2O+2AlP$

We can see that according to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction, the total mass of products equals the total mass of reactants based on the stoichiometric proportions; in such a way, we first need to compute the reacted moles of Li3P as shown below:

$n_{Li_3P}^{reacted}=38gLi_3P*\frac{1molLi_3P}{51.8gLi_3P}=0.73molLi_3P$

Now, the moles of Li3P consumed by 15 g of Al2O3:

$n_{Li_3P}^{consumed \ by \ Al_2O_3}=15gAl_2O_3*\frac{1molAl_2O_3}{101.96gAl_2O_3} *\frac{2molLi_3P}{1molAl_2O_3} =0.29molLi_3P$

Thus, we infer that just 0.29 moles of 0.73 react to form products; which means that the mass of formed products is:

$m_{Li_2O}=0.29molLi_3P*\frac{3molLi_2O}{2molLi_3P} *\frac{29.88gLi_2O}{1molLi_2O} =13gLi_2O\\\\m_{AlP}=0.29molLi_3P*\frac{2molAlP}{2molLi_3P} *\frac{57.95gAlP}{1molAlP} =8.5gAlP$

Therefore, the total mass of products is:

$m_{products}=13g+8.5g\\\\m_{products}=21.5g$

Which is not the same to the reactants (53 g) because there is an excess of Li₃P.

Best Regards!

Compare an ionic and a molecular compound in terms of how each is formed

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

Molecular compounds are pure substances formed when atoms are linked together by sharing of electrons while ionic compounds are formed due to the transfer of electrons.

Molecular compounds are made due to covalent bonding while ionic compounds are made due to ionic bonding.
