Explanation:

The electronegativity values of the 5d series are very high because the size of the 5d orbitals are much larger as compared to the size of the 3d and 4d orbitals. As a consequence of this, the shielding capacity of 5d elements are low or these elements are not effective at shielding the nuclear charge . Thus, this causes the increase in the effective nuclear charge which makes the electronegativity values to increase steeply from the Lutetium (1.27) to the Gold (2.54).

To what temperature must a balloon, initially at 25°C and 2.00 L, be heated in order to have a volume of 6.00 L

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

894 deg K

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Given that

V1 denotes the initial volume of gas = 2.00 L

T1 denotes the initial temperature of gas = 25 + 273 = 298 K

V2 denotes the final volume of gas = 6.00 L

T2 = ?

Based on the above information

Here we assume that the pressure is remain constant,

So,

V1 ÷ T1 = V2 ÷ T2

T2 = T1 × V2 ÷ V1

= (298)(6) ÷ (2)

= 894 deg K

A compound is composed of 85.6% Carbon and the rest is Hydrogen. The molecular mass of the compound is 42.078g/mol. What is the

s344n2d4d5 [400]

The molecular formula for the compound is $C_{3} H_{6}$

<u>Explanation</u>:

As with all of these problems, we assume 100 g of an unknown compound.

And thus, we determine the elemental composition by the given percentages.

Moles of carbon = 85.64 / 12.011

= 7.13 mol.

Moles of hydrogen = 14.36 / 1.00794

= 14.25 mol.

There are 2 moles of hydrogen per mole of carbon. And thus the empirical formula is CH $_{2}$ .

And molecular formula = n × (empirical formula)

Thus, 42.08 = n × (12.011 + 2 × 1.00794)

And thus n = 3, and molecular formula = $C_{3} H_{6}$
