Answer: option (2) H - Cl

Explanation:

1) The polar character of a covalent bond is defined by the difference in the electronegativities of the atoms. The higher the diffrerence the greater the polar character of the bond.

2) The electronegativities of the elements are found in tables.

These are the electronegativities of the four elements of the question:

H: 2.20 ← lowest

I: 2.66

Br: 2.96

Cl: 3.16 ← highest

3) Since Cl has the greatest electronegativity of the four elements, and H has the lowest one, it is the bond H - Cl which will have the greatest difference of electronegativities, and it is the most polar bond.

For the question given above, option 2 which is H-Cl pair of atoms has the most polar bond among the four of them.

The larger the value of the electronegativity, the greater the atom’s strength to attract a bonding pair of electrons. Hydrogen has an electronegativity of 2.1, and chlorine has an electronegativity of 3.0. The electron pair that is bonding HCl together shifts toward the chlorine atom because it has a larger electronegativity value.

Calculate the mass of magnesium carbonate ( MgCO3), in grams, required to produce 110.0 g of carbon dioxide using the following

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

$210.7~g~MgCO_3$

Explanation:

We have to start with the reaction:

$MgCO_3~->~MgO~+~CO_2$

We have the same amount of atoms on both sides, so, we can continue. The next step is to find the number of moles that we have in the 110.0 g of carbon dioxide, to this, we have to know the atomic mass of each atom:

C: 12 g/mol

O: 16 g/mol

Mg: 23.3 g/mol

If we take into account the number of atoms in the formula, we can calculate the molar mass of carbon dioxide:

$(12*1)+(16*2)=44~g/mol$

In other words: $1~mol~CO_2=~44~g~CO_2$ . With this in mind, we can calculate the moles:

$110~g~CO_2\frac{1~mol~CO_2}{44~g~CO_2}=25~mol~CO_2$

Now, the molar ratio between carbon dioxide and magnesium carbonate is 1:1, so:

$2.5~mol~CO_2=2.5~mol~MgCO_3$

With the molar mass of $MgCO_3$ ( $(23.3*1)+(12*1)+(16*3)=84.3~g/mol$ . With this in mind, we can calculate the grams of magnesium carbonate:

$2.5~mol~MgCO_3\frac{84.3~g~MgCO_3}{1~mol~MgCO_3}=210.7~g~MgCO_3$

I hope it helps!
