Answer:

This question is incomplete but the completed question is below

Which Of These Species Is Most Likely To Be A Lewis Acid And Is Also Least Likely To Be A Brønsted Acid? (A) NH4⁺ (B) BF₃ (C) H₂O (D) OH⁻

The correct option is B

Explanation:

A lewis acid is a substance that accepts (or is capable of accepting) a pair of electrons. For example BF₃, while a lewis base is a substance that donates (or is capable of donating) a pair of electrons. For example OH⁻.

If we take a look at the boron (B) in BF₃, it has 3 electrons on it's outermost shell, each of which are bonded to flourine and can still accept a pair of electrons (lone pair). <u>This makes it very likely to be a lewis acid</u>.

Bronsted lowry acid is a substance that donates or can donate a proton or H⁺ (for example HCl) while bronsted lowry base is a substance that accepts or can accept a proton or H⁺ (for example NH₃).

<u>BF₃ cannot donate a proton or H⁺ hence it is least likely to be called a bronsted acid.</u>

Identify a type of strong intermolecular force that exists between water molecules, but does not exist between carbon dioxide mo
timurjin [86]

Intermolecular forces of attraction hold the molecules together. These forces determine the physical properties of substances like melting and boiling points. There are five types of intermolecular forces: Hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole interactions, ionic interactions, ion-dipole interactions and dispersion forces.

Hydrogen bonding is a stronger force of attraction between hydrogen atom and an electronegative atom (F, N, and O). So, water molecules exhibit hydrogen bonding.

In carbon dioxide molecules, although each C=O is polar the molecule as a whole will be non polar due to symmetry. Therefore, the only intermolecular forces in CO2 will be dispersion forces.

Hence, Hydrogen bonding exists between water molecules but not carbon dioxide molecules.

When does carbon dioxide absorb the most heat energy?
Lyrx [107]
The correct answer of the given question above would be option C. Carbon dioxide absorbs the most heat energy during sublimation. It is the<span> transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas phase without passing through the intermediate liquid phase. Hope this answers your question.</span>

As a central atom, sulfur can take more than eight electrons in its valence shell.
vodka [1.7K]

Sulphur is located in the third period and group 16. The general electronic configuration of group 16 is ns^{2} np^{4} therefore the maximum number of valency electrons in group 16 is 6. The electronic configuration of sulphur is [Ne] 3s^{2} 3p^{4}3d^{0}. Sulphur has six valency electrons whereas sulphur can have more than eight electrons in its valency shell as it have an empty d-shell electrons can accumulate in the empty d-shell. The complete d-shell and the P_{z} orbital will be empty. As each orbital can accept 2 electrons, sulphur can have 12 valency electrons in its valency shell.

If 0.507J of heat leads to a 0.007 degree C change in water, what mass is present?
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

17.3 g

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

  • Quantity of heat, Q = 0.507 J
  • Temperature = 0.007°C
  • Specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 J/g°C

Mathematically, Heat capacity is given by the formula;

Q = MCT

Where;

  • Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.
  • M represents the mass of an object.
  • C represents the specific heat capacity of water.
  • T represents the temperature.

Making "M" the subject of formula, we have;

M = \frac {Q}{CT}

Substituting the values into the formula, we have;

M = \frac {0.507}{4.2*0.007}

M = \frac {0.507}{0.0294}

<em>Mass, m = 17.3 grams</em>
