Answer:

A. electrons simultaneously attracted by more than one nucleus

Explanation:

Covalent bond is the bond which is formed with the sharing of the electrons between the two atoms which are taking part in the bond. It is generally formed between the atoms with similar electronegativity values.
It is the bond which is generally occurs within non metals as they share electrons to complete their octet.
The difference in the electronegativity values of the atoms involving in a covalent bond must not exceed the value of 1.7 .

Thus, the electrons are attracted by the two different nucleus of the atoms that are taking part in the bonding.

So, the correct answer is:- A. electrons simultaneously attracted by more than one nucleus

Answer:

The net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of acrylic acid from calcium carbide, water and carbon dioxide is 523.2 kJ.

Explanation:

Step 1:

$CaC_2(s) + 2H_2O(g)\rightarrow C_2H_2(g) + Ca(OH)_2(s),\Delta H_1=414.0 kJ$ ...[1]

Step 2 :

$6C_2H_2(g) + 3CO_2(g) + 4H_2O(g)\rightarrow 5CH_2CHCO_2H(g) \Delta H_2=132.0kJ$ ..[2]

Adding 6 × [1] and [2]:

$6CaC_2(s) + 12H_2O(g)\rightarrow 6C_2H_2(g) + 6Ca(OH)_2(s)$

$6C_2H_2(g)+3CO_2(g)+16H_2O(g)\rightarrow 5CH_2CHCO_2H(g)$

we get :

$6CaC_2(s) + 8H_2O(g)+3CO_2(g)\rightarrow 5CH_2CHCO_2H(g)+ 6Ca(OH)_2(s),\Delta H'=?$

$\Delta H'=6\times \Delta H_1+\Delta H_2$

$\Delta H'=6\times 414.0 kJ+132.0kJ$

$\Delta H'=2,626 kJ$

Energy released on formation of 5 moles of acrylic acid = 2,626 kJ

Energy released on formation of 1 mole of acrylic acid:

$\frac{ 2,626 kJ}{5 } = 523.2 kJ$

Where did the molecules of carbon dioxide come from while the tortilla chip was burning

CaHeK987 [17]

The answer can be explained when you burn something cleanly (with a very hot item) or not. With a candle lots of Carbon dioxide is producted but when using a bunson burner hardly any CO2 is produced.
