How can you determine which bond in a structure is more polar without using an electronegativity table?
UkoKoshka [18]
To know this you pretty much do have to kind of memorize a few electronegativities. I don't recall ever getting a table of electronegativities on an exam.
From the structure, you have:

I remember the following electronegativities most because they are fairly patterned:
EN
H
=
2.1
EN
C
=
2.5
EN
N
=
3.0
EN
O
=
3.5
EN
F
=
4.0
EN
Cl
=
3.5
Notice how carbon through fluorine go in increments of
~
0.5
. I believe Pauling made it that way when he determined electronegativities in the '30s.
Δ
EN
C
−
Cl
=
1.0
Δ
EN
C
−
H
=
0.4
Δ
EN
C
−
C
=
0.0
Δ
EN
C
−
O
=
1.0
Δ
EN
O
−
H
=
1.4
So naturally, with the greatest electronegativity difference of
4.0
−
2.5
=
1.5
, the
C
−
F
bond is most polar, i.e. that bond's electron distribution is the most drawn towards the more electronegative compound as compared to the rest.
When the electron distribution is polarized and drawn towards a more electronegative atom, the less electronegative atom has to move inwards because its nucleus was previously favorably attracted to the electrons from the other atom.
That means generally, the greater the electronegativity difference between two atoms is, the shorter you can expect the bond to be, insofar as the electronegative atom is the same size as another comparable electronegative atom.
However, examining actual data, we would see that on average, in conditions without other bond polarizations occuring:
r
C
−
Cl
≈
177 pm
r
C
−
C
≈
154 pm
r
C
−
O
≈
143 pm
r
C
−
F
≈
135 pm
r
C
−
H
≈
109 pm
r
O
−
H
≈
96 pm
So it is not necessarily the least electronegativity difference that gives the longest bond.
Therefore, you cannot simply consider electronegativity. Examining the radii of the atoms, you should notice that chlorine is the biggest atom in the compound.
r
Cl
≈
79 pm
r
C
≈
70 pm
r
H
≈
53 pm
r
O
≈
60 pm
So assuming the answer is truly
C
−
C
, what would have to hold true is that:
The
C
−
F
bond polarization makes the carbon more electropositive (which is true).
The now more electropositive carbon wishes to attract bonding pairs from chlorine closer, thereby shortening the
C
−
Cl
bond, and potentially the
C
−
H
bond (which is probably true).
The shortening of the
C
−
Cl
bond is somehow enough to be shorter than the
C
−
C
bond (this is debatable).

Entropy can be thought of as the degree of disorganization of a system.<br> TRUE<br> FALSE
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The entropy of a system denoted by S is a thermodynamic function that increases in value when there are more ways to arrange the particles in the system. Some spontaneous chemical processes are entropy driven. An increase in entropy is said to drive the dissolution of ionic salts along with the evaporation of water are related to the spreading out of energy.

The entropy of a system can be taken as a measure of disorder of a system. In a spontaneous chemical process, the entropy of the universe is said to increase. ΔSunivu>0. Making the answer true.

The overall cell reaction occurring in an alkaline battery isZn(s) + MnO₂(s) + H₂O(l) → ZnO(s) + Mn(OH)₂(s) (e) In practice, vol
zubka84 [21]

b) Mass of MnO₂ = 5.981 g

    Mass of H₂O = 1.2384 g

c) Total Mass of Reactant consumed = 11.708 g

b) Given Reaction

            Zn(s) + MnO₂(s) + H₂O(l) → ZnO(s) + Mn(OH)₂(s)

  Mass of Zn = 4.50 g

  Moles of Zn = 0.0688 moles

   Now,

    Moles of Zn = moles of MnO₂ = moles of H₂O = moles of ZnO = moles of                   Mn(OH)₂

Hence ,

Moles of MnO₂ = 0.0688 moles

Mass of MnO₂ = 0.0688 × 86.9368 g

                        = 5.981 g

Similarly,

    Moles of H₂O = 0.0688 moles

     Mass of H₂O = 0.0688 × 18 g

                           = 1.2384 g

c) now ,

    Moles of  ZnO = 0.0688 moles

     Mass of  ZnO  = 0.06880× 81.3794 g

                              = 5.598 g

 Moles of  Mn(OH)₂ = 0.0688 moles

  Mass of  Mn(OH)₂ =0.0688 × 88.952 g

                                  = 6.11 g

Total mass of Product = 11.708 g

Total Mass of Reactant = 11.715 g

Hence,

    Total mass of reactant consumed = 11.708 g

c)  As total mass of reactant is more than that of mass of reactant consumed , Hence G is more than that of mass of reactant consumed .

G = - nFEcell

 

and no. of moles of reactant  is greater than that of number of moles of reactant consumed .

       Hence voltaic cell of given Capacity are heavier than that of mass of reactant consumed .

 Thus from above conclusion we can say that , Mass of the reactant consumed is 11.708 g.

If a chemist has a stock solution of HBr that is 10.0 M and would like to make 450.0 mL of 3.0 M HBr, how would he do it?
asambeis [7]

This is a dilution that requires a certain volume from the stock solution to be diluted with distilled water to make a solution of HBr with a lesser concentration than the stock solution

Following dilution formula can be used

c1v1 = c2v2

Where c1 is concentration and v1 is the volume of the stock solution

c2 is concentration and v2 is volume of the diluted solution to be prepared

Substituting these values

10.0 M x v1 = 3.0 x 450.0 mL

v1 = 135.0 mL

A volume of 135.0 mL from HBr stock solution needs to be taken and diluted with distilled water upto 450.0 mL. The resulting solution will have a concentration of 3.0 M
