The carbon-oxygen bond in CO has a higher bond dissociation enthalpy than a carbon-oxygen bond in CO2. Which is the best explana

tion for this difference? Group of answer choices CO has a triple bond while each carbon-oxygen bond in CO2 is a double bond. CO has a lone pair on carbon while CO2 does not. CO is a polar molecule while CO2 is a nonpolar molecule. CO contains one carbon-oxygen bond while CO2 contains two carbon-oxygen bonds.

Answer:

CO HAS A TRIPLE BOND WHILE C-O BOND IN CO2 IS A DOUBLE BOND

CO HAS A LONE PAIR ON CARBON WHILE CO2 DOES NOT

Explanation:

Bond dissociation bond enthalpy or energy is the energy needed to break 1 mole of a divalent molecule into separate atoms mostly in the gaseous state.

The carbon and oxygen in carbon monoxide form a triple bond as carbon monoxide has 10 electrons in their outermost shell which results into six shared electrons in 3 bonding orbitals as against the double bond formed by other carbon compounds. Four electrons come from oxygen and the remaining two from carbon and due to this, two electrons from oxygen will occupy one orbital and this forms a dative bond. Also because of the triple bond, carbon monoxide is often regarded as a more stable compound than carbon dioxide with a double bond. This gives it its higher bond dissociation enthalpy value and more energy is needed to break it into its separate atoms. This is in conjunction with a larger bond length similar to the bong length in a triple bond. This makes it more stronger than the bond dissociation enthalpy of carbon dioxide having a double bond.

astraxan [27]

Answer:

3,964 years.

Explanation:

  • It is known that the decay of a radioactive isotope isotope obeys first order kinetics.
  • Half-life time is the time needed for the reactants to be in its half concentration.
  • If reactant has initial concentration [A₀], after half-life time its concentration will be ([A₀]/2).
  • Also, it is clear that in first order decay the half-life time is independent of the initial concentration.

  • The half-life of the element is 5,730 years.

  • For, first order reactions:

<em>k = ln(2)/(t1/2) = 0.693/(t1/2).</em>

Where, k is the rate constant of the reaction.

t1/2 is the half-life of the reaction.

∴ k =0.693/(t1/2) = 0.693/(5,730 years) = 1.21 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹.

  • Also, we have the integral law of first order reaction:

<em>kt = ln([A₀]/[A]),</em>

where, k is the rate constant of the reaction (k = 1.21 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹).

t is the time of the reaction (t = ??? year).

[A₀] is the initial concentration of the sample ([A₀] = 100%).

[A] is the remaining concentration of the sample ([A] = 61.9%).

∴ t = (1/k) ln([A₀]/[A]) = (1/1.21 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹) ln(100%/61.9%) = 3,964 years.

A researcher wants to determine if a unicellular organism he discovered is an autotroph or a heterotroph. He radioactively label
GaryK [48]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Autotrophs utilize the energy from  sunlight to reduce carbon dioxide to carbohydrates (glucose). The energy from the sunlight is used to split water into H+ and O2- and the H+ used in the reduction process. The labeled carbon in the carbon dioxide will, therefore, be incorporated by the autotrophs in the carbohydrates made in photosynthesis.
