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

Every pure substance has exact and specific density. What are two purposes that a chemist would use a calculated density for.

adell [148]

Answer:

1. Density can be used to identify a substance

2. Density can be used to ascertain whether a substance will float in water.

Explanation:

The calculation of the density of a substance can be used to identify the substance. If the density of a substance is calculated accurately, and compared with a table of standard densities, then we can identify that substance.

Also, density determines whether an object will float or sink in water. If an object is less dense than water then it will float in water. If it is denser than water, then it will sink in water.

Which of the compounds above are strong enough acids to react almost completely with a hydroxide ion (pka of h2o = 15.74) or wit

luda_lava [24]

The compounds can react with OH⁻ and HCO₃⁻ only C₅H₆N pyridinium

<h3><em>Further explanation </em></h3>

In an acid-base reaction, it can be determined whether or not a reaction occurs by knowing the value of pKa or Ka from acid and conjugate acid (acid from the reaction)

Acids and bases according to Bronsted-Lowry

Acid = donor (donor) proton (H + ion)

Base = proton (receiver) acceptor (H + ion)

If the acid gives (H +), then the remaining acid is a conjugate base because it accepts protons. Conversely, if a base receives (H +), then the base formed can release protons and is called the conjugate acid from the original base.

From this, it can be seen whether the acid in the product can give its proton to a base (or acid which has a lower Ka value) so that the reaction can go to the right to produce the product.

The step that needs to be done is to know the pKa value of the two acids (one on the left side and one on the right side of the arrow), then just determine the value of the equilibrium constant

Can be formulated:

K acid-base reaction = Ka acid on the left : K acid on the right.

or:

pK = acid pKa on the left - pKa acid on the right

K = equilibrium constant for acid-base reactions

pK = -log K;

$K~=~10^{-pK}$

K value> 1 indicates the reaction can take place, or the position of equilibrium to the right.

There is some data that we need to complete from the problem above, which is the pKa value of some compounds that will react, namely:

pyridinium pKa = 5.25

acetone pKa = 19.3

butan-2-one pKa = 19

Let's look at the K value of each possible reaction:

pka H₂O = 15.74, pka of H₂CO₃ = 6.37)

1. C₅H₆N pyridinium

* with OH⁻

C₅H₆N + OH- ---> C₅H₅N- + H₂O

pK = pKa pyridinium - pKa H₂O

pK = 5.25 - 15.74

pK = -10.49

$K~=~10^{4.9}$

K values> 1 indicate the reaction can take place

* with HCO3⁻

C₅H₆N + HCO₃⁻-- ---> C₅H₅N⁻ + H₂CO₃

pK = 5.25 - 6.37

pK = -1.12

$K`=~10^{1.12]$

Reaction can take place

2. Acetone C₃H₆O

* with OH-

C₃H₆O + OH⁻ ---> C₃H₅O- + H₂O

pK = 19.3 - 15.74

pK = 3.56

$K~=~10^{ -3.56}$

Reaction does not happen

* with HCO₃-

C₃H₆O + HCO₃⁻ ----> C₃H₅O⁻ + H₂CO₃

pK = 19.3 - 6.37

pK = 12.93

$K`=~10 ^{-12.93}$

Reaction does not happen

3. butan-2-one C₄H₇O

* with OH-

C₄H₇O + OH- ---> C₄H₆O- + H₂O

pK = 19 - 15.74

pK = 3.26

$K~=~10^{-3.26}$

Reaction does not happen

* with HCO₃⁻

C₄H₇O + HCO₃⁻ ---> C₄H₆O⁻ + H₂CO₃

pK = 19 - 6.37

pK = 12.63

$K~=~ 10^{-12.63}$

Reaction does not happen

So that can react with OH⁻ and HCO₃⁻ only C₅H₆N pyridinium

For many purposes we can treat methane as an ideal gas at temperatures above its boiling point of . Suppose the temperature of a

Elza [17]

Answer:

The volume decreases 5.5%

Explanation:

First, the question is incomplete, you are not giving the values of the temperatures and the pressure. However, I managed to find one similar question, and the given data is the temperature is lowered from 21 °C to -8°C, and the pressure decreased by 5%. If your data is different, you should only replace your data in the procedure, and you'll get an accurate result.

Now, with this data, let's see what we can do.

If this is an ideal gas, the equation to use is:

PV = nRT

Now, we know that this gas is suffering a decrease in temperature and pressure, but the moles stay the same so:

n₁ = n₂ = n

The constant R, is the same for both conditions. The only thing that differs here is the volume, temperature, and pressure. Therefore:

P₁V₁ = nRT₁ -----> n = P₁V₁ / RT₁

Doing the same with the pressure and volume 2 we have:

n = P₂V₂ / RT₂

Equalling both expressions and solving for V₂:

P₁V₁ / RT₁ = P₂V₂ / RT₂

V₂ = P₁T₂V₁ / P₂T₁

Now, as we know that P2 is 5% decreased from P1, so P2 = 0.95P1:

V₂ = P₁T₂V₁ / 0.95P₁T₁

The values of temperature in K:

T1 = 21+273 = 294 K

T2 = -8 + 273 = 265 K

Finally, let's calculate the volume:

V₂ = 264*P₁*V₁ / 294*0.95*P₁ ----> P cancels out

V₂ = 264V₁ / 294*0.95

V₁ = 0.945V₂

With this, we can day that Volume 2 decreases.

Now the percentage change would be using the following expression:

%V = (V₁ - V₂ / V₁) * 100

Replacing the data we have:

%V = V1 - 0.945V₁ / V₁

%V = 0.055V₁ / V₁ * 100

%V = 5.5%

How many grams are in 11.9 moles of chromirum

faust18 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Method 1 proportion

1 mole of chromium is 52 grams

11.9 moles = x grams

1/11.9 = 52/x Cross multiply

x = 11.9 * 52

x = 618.8 grams

Now I have used an approximate mass for Chromium. The answer you get here is expected to reflect the weigth given on your periodic table Use that to get your answer. You should give a number very close to mine. Round to 3 places as in 619.

Method Two Formula

mols = given mass / molecular mass

11.9 = given mass / 51.9961 Multiply both sides by 51.9961

11.9 *51.9961 = given mass

given mass = 618.75

given mass = 619
