Answer:
CO3^2- has the weakest C-O bond
Explanation:
Hybridization is a valence bond concept that has to do with the mixing of atomic orbitals to give hybrid atomic orbitals suitable for overlapping with orbitals of other atoms to form molecules. The hybridization of the carbon atom in CO, CO2 and CO3^2- are; sp, sp and sp2. This implies that there must be pi bonding in each of the species since sp and sp2 hybridized carbon atoms are known to lead to molecules possessing pi bonds.
In CO2, carbon in sp hybridized state is bonded to two oxygen atoms in sp2 hybridized state leading to a double bond between carbon and each oxygen atom. In CO, the carbon atom is sp hybridized while the oxygen atom is sp2 hybridized. CO3^2- contains an sp2 hybrized carbon atom in a trigonal planar geometry.
The relative bond lengths of the C-O bond in CO2, CO and CO3^2- is 116 pm, 112.8 pm and 136pm. Hence CO3^2- has the longest bond length. Remember that bond length is inversely proportional to the bond order. That is, the shorter the bond length, the greater the bond order. This implies that CO will have the greatest bond order because it shows the shortest bond length. It turns out that CO has a bond order of 3, CO2 has a bond order of 2 and CO3^2- has a bond order of 1.33. This is intermediate between the bond order of single and that of double C-O bond hence CO3^2- is represented using resonance structures.
The species with the longest C-O bond length also has the weakest C-O bond hence CO3^2- has the weakest C-O bond.
The correct answer is 0.16138
<u>Solution:</u>
Percentage transmission (%T) of the sample = 15.6
Therefore, Absorbance (A) 2 – log (%T) = 2 – log (15.6) = 0.8069
<u>Use Beer’s law:</u>
A = ε*c*l where ε = molar absorptivity of the solution, c = concentration of the solution, and l = path length of the solution.
Given A = 0.8069 and l = 5.00 cm, we must have
<u>0.8069 = ε*c*(5.00 cm)</u>
ε*c = 0.16138 cm-1
For the next part, assume that ε*c remains constant and we have
A’ = ε*c*l’ where l = 1.00 cm.
Plug in values and write
A’ = (0.16138 cm-1)*(1.00 cm) = 0.16138
The ratio of the light intensity entering the sample to the light intensity exiting the sample at a particular wavelength is defined as the transmittance. Absorption and transmission are two related and different quantities used in spectroscopy. The main difference between absorption and transmission is that absorption measures how much incident light is absorbed as it travels through the material, while transmission measures how much light is transmitted.

Explanation:
Ethanol can be oxidized to ethanal or acetaldehyde which is further oxidized to acid that is acetic acid.
→ [oxidation by loss of hydrogen]
-
An oxidizing agent potassium dichromate(VI) solution is used to remove the hydrogen from the ethanol.
- An oxidizing agent used along with dilute sulphuric acid for acidification.
Acetaldehyde can also be reduced back to ethanol again by adding hydrogen to it by using a reducing agent that is sodium tetrahydro borate, NaBH4.
- The oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids can be done by the two-step process.
- In the first step, one molecule of water is added in the presence of a catalyst that is acidic.
- There is a generation of a hydrate. (geminal 1,1-diol).
