Answer:

a) The carbon-carbon bonds rapidly alternate between single and double bonds.

Explanation:

In benzene we have that the molecule is planar with an sp² hybridization that allow for three π bonds and the carbons atoms are also bonded together via sigma  a sp² hibridization as well as one hydrogen atom. The alternation of or conjugation of the π bond allow the delocalization of these electron along the whole ring.

Therefore, a) is false the carbon-carbon bonds rapidly alternate between single and double bond. The electrons in the π bonds are completely delocalized through the six atoms in the ring.

b) is true since we have a sp² hybridization.

c) and d) are true for the reasons given previously.

Answer:

The correct order of the elements, taking into account their ionic radius from highest to lowest, is:

<em>a) Cl⁻¹ > F⁻¹ > Na⁺¹ > Mg⁺²</em>

<em>b) S⁻² > O⁻² > Li⁺¹ > Be⁺²</em>

<em>c) S⁻² > Cl⁻¹ > K⁺¹ > Na⁺¹</em>

Explanation:

In ions the ionic radius is determined by the amount of electrons an element gains or loses to become an ion.  The more negative an ion is, the greater its ionic radius.

As a rule, anions (negative charge) have a larger ionic radius than cations (positive charge), because the loss of electrons means a contraction of the ionic radius, while the gain of electrons means a greater radius.

To determine which ionic radius is greater in anions or cations with the same charge, it must be considered that in the periodic table the ionic radius increases from top to bottom and from right to left.

Which of the following is an example of chemical weathering?
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:O B. Weak acid breaks down minerals by reacting with them.

Explanation:

Chemical weathering is the process whereby rain water which sometimes can be acidic ( As rain falls down it reacts with CO2 in the atmosphere and form acid rain), This  reacts  with the minerals contained in rocks, dissolves and degrades  them further to form entire  new minerals.

An example of a rock that is greatly affected by overexposure of  acid rain is  limestone containing calcite  which easily degrades by acid rain.

Other processes whereby Chemical weathering can occur are through reaction with water and oxygen.

For the reaction 2 HCl + Na2CO3 → 2 NaCl + H2O + CO2 8.0 moles of CO2 is collected at STP. What is the volume of CO2? 1. 57.6 L
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Option 5. 179L

Explanation:

The reaction is:

2 HCl + Na₂CO₃ → 2NaCl + H₂O + CO₂

The amount of collected CO₂ is 8 moles.

We apply the Ideal Gases Law at STP

STP are 1 atm of pressure and 273K of T°

P . V = n . R . T

1atm . V = 8 mol .0.082L.atm/mol.K . 273K

V = (8 mol .0.082L.atm/mol.K . 273K) / 1 atm = 179 L
