This graduated cylinder has numbers representing milliliters. A student says that the volume of the liquid inside is 21.8 millil

iters. What best explains why the student is wrong? 21.8 is at the top of the meniscus, but volume should be measured in the middle of the meniscus. 21.8 is at the top of the meniscus, but volume should be measured at the bottom of the meniscus. Since the lines are only marked with whole numbers, the student must round to a whole number. Since the whole numbers represent milliliters, the student must use a unit smaller than milliliters.

Explanation:

The answer for this question depends on the type of meniscus in the cylinder. If it is an upright meniscus like in water, the reading should be taken at the bottom of the meniscus. However if it is an inverted meniscus like in mercury, the reading should be taken at the top of the meniscus.

The tendency of an atom to pull electrons toward itself is referred to as its _____. ionic potential tonicity covalency electron
larisa86 [58]

Electronegativity

The tendency of an atom to pull electrons towards itself is called electronegativity.

It is the tendency of an atom to attract bonding pair of electrons towards itself. These atoms which are more electronegative are able to bear a negative charge and be stable.

Unlike electropositive elements which tend to lose electrons , electronegative elements hold on tightly to the electrons.

The electronegativity is measured using the Pauling Scale where the most electronegative element of the periodic table, Fluorine , is given a value of 4 and the rest of the elements have values lower than 4 according to the trends followed by their groups and periods.

The least electronegative element of the periodic table , Cesium has a value of 0.7 on the Pauling Scale.

Electronegativity increases when we move from left to right in the periodic table and it decreases (in general) when we move down the group.

Calculate the molarity of 13.1 g of NaCl in 727 mL of solution
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

The molarity of the solution is 0,31 M

Explanation:

We calculate the weight of 1 mol of NaCl from the atomic weights of each element of the periodic table. Then, we calculate the molarity, which is a concentration measure that indicates the moles of solute (in this case NaCl) in 1000ml of solution (1 liter)

Weight 1 mol NaCl= Weight Na + Weight Cl= 23 g + 35, 5 g= 58, 5 g

58, 5 g-----1 mol NaCl

13,1 g ---------x= (13,1 g x 1 mol NaCl)/58, 5 g= 0, 224 mol NaCl

727 ml solution------ 0, 224 mol NaCl

1000ml solution------x= (1000ml solutionx0, 224 mol NaCl)/727 ml solution

x=0,308 mol NaCl---> <em>The solution is 0,31 molar (0,31 M)</em>

7. Write a formula for each of the following:
sergeinik [125]

Answer : The formula for each of the following is:

(a) C_{22}H_{46}

(b) C_{17}H_{34}

(c) C_{13}H_{24}

Explanation :

  • Alkanes are hydrocarbon in which the carbon atoms are connected with single covalent bonds.

The general formula of alkanes is C_n H_{2n+2} where n is the number of the carbon atoms present in a molecule of alkane.

  • Alkenes are hydrocarbon in which the carbon atoms are connected with double covalent bonds.

The general formula of alkenes is C_n H_{2n} where n is the number of the carbon atoms present in a molecule of alkene.

  • Alkynes are hydrocarbon in which the carbon atoms are connected with triple covalent bonds.

The general formula of alkynes is C_n H_{2n-2} where n is the number of the carbon atoms present in a molecule of alkyne.

(a) An alkane with 22 carbon atoms

Putting n = 22 in the general formula of alkane, we get the formula of alkane as, C_{22}H_{2(22)+2} or C_{22}H_{46}

(b) An alkene with 17 carbon atoms

Putting n = 17 in the general formula of alkene, we get the formula of alkene as, C_{17}H_{2(17)} or C_{17}H_{34}

(c) An alkyne with 13 carbon atoms

Putting n = 13 in the general formula of alkyne, we get the formula of alkyne as, C_{13}H_{2(13)-2} or C_{13}H_{24}
