Chemistry

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An atom or element which has the ability to readily gain an electron will have high electronegativity.

Both Beryllium and Calcium are alkaline earth metals and hence they are electropositive in nature.

Whereas both iodine and nitrogen are electronegative in nature. But across the period there is an increase in electronegativity and down the group there is a decrease in electronegativity.

Nitrogen belongs to period 2 and iodine belongs to the bottom of group 17. Thus, we can conclude that nitrogen is more electronegative than iodine.

Answer:

The correct option is: D. nitrogen                    

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the capability of a chemical element to attract or pull the bond pair involved in the formation of a covalent bond towards itself.

As the atomic radius of an element increases, its tendency to attract the bond pair towards itself decreases. Therefore, the electronegativity decreases.

Since in the periodic table, the <u>atomic radius increases down a group and generally decreases across a period</u>. So, <u>the electronegativity decreases down the group and generally increases across a period.</u>

Therefore, Nitrogen which belongs to period 2 and group 15 of the periodic table, has the <u>smallest atomic radius </u>among the given chemical elements <u>and thus is the most electronegative element (3.04 on the Pauling scale)</u> among the given chemical elements.

Substitute natural gas (SNG) is a gaseous mixture containing CH4(g) that can be used as a fuel. One reaction for the production
Lynna [10]

Answer:

ΔH° of the reaction is -747.54kJ

Explanation:

Based on gas law, it is possible to find the ΔH of a reaction using ΔH of half reactions.

Using the reactions:

<em>(1) </em>C(graphite) + 1/2O₂(g) → CO(g) ΔH° = -110.5 kJ

<em>(2) </em>CO(g) + 1/2O₂(g) → CO₂(g) ΔH° = -283.0 kJ

<em>(3) </em>H₂(g) + 1/2O₂(g) → H₂O(l) ΔH° = -285.8 kJ

<em>(4) </em>C(graphite) + 2H₂(g) → CH₄(g) ΔH° = -74.81 kJ

<em>(5) </em>CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l) ΔH° = -890.3 kJ

The sum of 4×(4) + (5) gives:

4C(graphite) + 8H₂(g) + 2O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l) + 3CH₄(g)

ΔH° = -74.81 kJ ×4 - 890.3 kJ = -1189.54kJ

Now, this reaction - 4×(1) gives:

4CO(g) + 8H₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l) + 3CH₄(g)

ΔH° = -1189.54kJ - 4×-110.5 = <em>-747.54kJ</em>

<em></em>

Thus <em>ΔH° of the reaction is -747.54kJ</em>

What is the name of the compound with the formula ch3ch2ch2nh2? 1-propanol 1-propanamine propanal propanamide?
kenny6666 [7]
The compound is CH₃CH₂CH₂NH₂
when naming the compound the C chain has 3 C atoms and they all are in a single chain therefore alkane chain is propane. 
It has a -NH₂ group attached to the C therefore functional group is 'amine'
-NH₂ is attached to a terminal C atom therefore when numbering the C atoms the C attached to the substituent should have the lowest number therefore C atom with NH₂ is carbon atom 1
therefore name of the compound is 1-propanamine
