Answer: option C - Carbon and Hydrogen have similar electronegativity values.

Explanation:

Carbon form COVALENT compounds with hydrogen. Examples are methane CH4, ethane C2H6, propane C3H8.

Electronegativity is the power to attract electrons. It is used to predict whether a bond will be covalent OR not. It can also be used to predict if the resulting molecule will be polar or nonpolar

Thus, Carbon with an electronegativity value of 2.55; and Hydrogen with 2.20 shows close similarities and THUS result in NONPOLAR and COVALENT BOND of Propane

snow_lady [41]

We want to solve Q = mcΔT for the liquid water; its change in temperature will tell us the amount of thermal energy that flowed out of the reaction. The specific heat, c, of water is 4.184 J/g °C.

Q = (72.0 g)(4.184 J/g °C)(100 °C - 25 °C) = 22593.6 J

Q ≈ 2.26 × 10⁴ J or 22.6 kJ (three significant figures).

guapka [62]

Answer:

978.19° C

Explanation:

P1V1/T1 =P2V2/T2     Since the pressure is constant, this can be written as

V1/T1 = V2/T2      RE-ARRANGE TO

V2 *  T1/V1   = T2       Note:  T must be in Kelvin!!

1.5 L  *  (273.15 + 23)  / (.355 L ) = T2 = 1251.338 K  =978.19 C

Why don't I need prefixes to designate the number of each type of element when naming ionic compounds?
scoray [572]

We use prefixes in ionic compounds Don't use numeric prefixes like mono, di, tri, etc. when naming ionic compounds - they are used only to denote covalent molecular compounds.
