Answer: (3) Chlorine molecules have weak intermolecular forces of attraction.

Explanation: In order to liquefy a gas, the molecules must be brought closer. Chlorine being a gas has weak inter molecular forces of attraction and the molecules are far away from each other.

Thus decreasing the temperature would decrease the kinetic energy of the molecules and increase in pressure would bring the molecules close together to convert it into liquid phase.

4 is correct. Since gases are made of rapidly moving molecules with a relatively high amount of kinetic energy, the molecules have a hard time coming together to form a liquid. You must lower their kinetic energy with a low temperature and force the molecules together with high pressure.

Electronegativity _____. generally increases moving from left to right across a period generally decreases moving from left to r

mojhsa [17]

I believe the correct answer would be that electronegativity generally increases moving from left to right across a period. The periodic table of elements is arranged so that trends of the properties of the elements can be shown. For electronegativity, it decreases from right to left which means for the opposite direction it increases.

The density of an aqueous solution of nitric acid is 1.64 g/mL and the concentration is 1.85 M. What is the concentration of thi

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Mass % of the solution = 7.1067 %

Explanation:

Given :

Molarity of nitric acid solution = 1.85 M

Density of the solution = 1.64 g/mL

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute present in 1 liter of the solution.

$Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}$

Lets, consider the volume of the solution = 1 L

Thus,

Moles of nitric acid present in the solution:

$Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}$

$Moles of Nitric acid=Molarity \times {Volume\ of\ the\ solution}$

So,

Moles of Nitric acid = 1.85 moles

Molar mass of nitric acid = 63 g/mol

The mass of Nitric acid can be find out by using mole formula as:

$moles=\frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$Mass\ of\ Nitric\ acid=Moles \times Molar mass}$

$Mass\ of\ Nitric\ acid=1.85 g \times 63 g/mol}$

Mass of Nitric acid = 116.55 g

Also,

$Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}$

Given : Density = 1.64 g/mL

Also, 1 L = 10³ mL

Volume of the solution is 1000 mL

So, mass of the solution:

$Mass\ of\ the\ solution=Density \times {Volume\ of\ the\ solution}$

$Mass\ of\ the\ solution=1.64 g/mL \times {1000 mL}$

Mass of the solution = 1640 g

Mass % is defined as the mass of solute in 100 g of the solution. The formula for the calculation of mass % is shown below:

$Mass \% =\frac{Mass\ of\ the\ solute}{Mass\ of\ the\ solution} \times {100}$

So,

$Mass \%=\frac{116.55}{1640} \times {100}$

Mass % = 7.1067 %

Do free electrons appear anywhere in the balanced equation for a redox reaction?

Andru [333]

Yes, free electrons appear in balanced redox reaction equations. However, this is only true for half-reactions. This is because redox reactions primarily involve the transfer of electrons, which are better visualized if explicitly shown in the balanced reactions. In reduction reactions, electrons are placed on the left side of the equation. Oxidation reactions show electrons on the right side of the equation.

Explanation:

A half reaction is either the chemical reaction or reduction reaction part of an oxidoreduction reaction. A half reaction is obtained by considering the amendment in chemical reaction states of individual substances concerned within the oxidoreduction reaction. Half-reactions are usually used as a way of leveling oxidoreduction reactions.The half-reaction on the anode, wherever chemical reaction happens, is Zn(s) = Zn2+ (aq) + (2e-).

The metal loses 2 electrons to create Zn2+. The half-reaction on the cathode wherever reduction happens is Cu2+ (aq) + 2e- = Cu(s).

Here, the copper ions gain electrons and become solid copper.
