Answer:
B
Explanation:
"I think my bike is making a scraping noise because the bearings are not lubricated."
To know this you pretty much do have to kind of memorize a few electronegativities. I don't recall ever getting a table of electronegativities on an exam.
From the structure, you have:
I remember the following electronegativities most because they are fairly patterned:
EN
H
=
2.1
EN
C
=
2.5
EN
N
=
3.0
EN
O
=
3.5
EN
F
=
4.0
EN
Cl
=
3.5
Notice how carbon through fluorine go in increments of
~
0.5
. I believe Pauling made it that way when he determined electronegativities in the '30s.
Δ
EN
C
−
Cl
=
1.0
Δ
EN
C
−
H
=
0.4
Δ
EN
C
−
C
=
0.0
Δ
EN
C
−
O
=
1.0
Δ
EN
O
−
H
=
1.4
So naturally, with the greatest electronegativity difference of
4.0
−
2.5
=
1.5
, the
C
−
F
bond is most polar, i.e. that bond's electron distribution is the most drawn towards the more electronegative compound as compared to the rest.
When the electron distribution is polarized and drawn towards a more electronegative atom, the less electronegative atom has to move inwards because its nucleus was previously favorably attracted to the electrons from the other atom.
That means generally, the greater the electronegativity difference between two atoms is, the shorter you can expect the bond to be, insofar as the electronegative atom is the same size as another comparable electronegative atom.
However, examining actual data, we would see that on average, in conditions without other bond polarizations occuring:
r
C
−
Cl
≈
177 pm
r
C
−
C
≈
154 pm
r
C
−
O
≈
143 pm
r
C
−
F
≈
135 pm
r
C
−
H
≈
109 pm
r
O
−
H
≈
96 pm
So it is not necessarily the least electronegativity difference that gives the longest bond.
Therefore, you cannot simply consider electronegativity. Examining the radii of the atoms, you should notice that chlorine is the biggest atom in the compound.
r
Cl
≈
79 pm
r
C
≈
70 pm
r
H
≈
53 pm
r
O
≈
60 pm
So assuming the answer is truly
C
−
C
, what would have to hold true is that:
The
C
−
F
bond polarization makes the carbon more electropositive (which is true).
The now more electropositive carbon wishes to attract bonding pairs from chlorine closer, thereby shortening the
C
−
Cl
bond, and potentially the
C
−
H
bond (which is probably true).
The shortening of the
C
−
Cl
bond is somehow enough to be shorter than the
C
−
C
bond (this is debatable).
Answer:
1) chemical indicators won't work above it's pH range so therefore it probably won't change colour.
2) the solution should be clear and colourless to see colour change.
3) indicators tend to be of low accuracy so it's not 100% reliable.
D. Hydrogen chemical bonds are found within water molecules.
Answer:
Moles of NaCl formed is 6.0 moles
Explanation:
We are given the equation;
2 Na(s) + Cl₂(g) → 2 NaCl(s)
- Moles of Na is 6.0 moles
- Moles of Cl₂ is 4.0 moles
From the reaction;
2 moles of sodium reacts with 1 mole of chlorine gas to form 2 moles of NaCl
In this case;
6 moles of Na would require 3 moles of Cl₂, this means that chlorine gas is in excess.
Thus, the rate limiting reagent is sodium.
But, 2 moles of sodium reacts to form 2 moles of NaCl
Therefore;
Moles of NaCl = Moles of Na
= 6.0 moles
Thus, moles of sodium chloride produced is 6.0 moles
