Explanation:

The given compounds are oxyacids and in these compounds more is the electronegativity of the central atom more will be its acidic strength.

This is because more is the electronegativity of the central atom more will be the polarity of OH bond. As a result, the compound can readily lose H^{+} ion.

Also, more is the electronegativity of central atom more will be the stability of conjugate base formed.

Thus, we can conclude that given compounds are arranged in increasing acid strength as follows.

       HOI < HOBr_{2} < HOCl_{3} < HOF

Match each element to the number of electrons in its valence shell
blondinia [14]

Answer: Be= 2, C =4,  Li = 1 and  B=3

Explanation:

The valence shell can be define as the outermost shell of an atom that contains the valence electrons.

Beryllium (Be), electronic configuration; 1s2 2s2, = 2 electrons in its valence shell.

Carbon (C), electronic configuration; 1s2 2s2 2p2, = 4 electrons in its valence shell.

Lithium (Li), electronic configuration; 1s2 2s1 = 1 electron in its valence shell.

Boron (B) , electronic configuration; 1s2 2s2 2p1 = 3 electron in its valence shell.

Ammonia and oxygen react to form nitrogen monoxide and water, like this:
olchik [2.2K]

4NH3+5O2 <=>4NO + 6H2O

Using the definition of Kp, we have
Kp=(Pno^4*Ph2o^6)/(Pnh3^4*Po2^5)
where Pno=partial pressure of NO, etc.

The numerical value for a given temperature can be evaluated when the actual partial pressures are known.

9. How many grams are in 2.0 x 105 molecules of carbon monoxide?
timama [110]

Answer: 9.3 x 10^ 18 g CO

Explanation:

Start by knowing that carbon monoxide is the compound CO. To convert molecules to grams, you first need to convert molecules to moles. This can be done using the conversion factor for Avogadro's Number:

(2.0 x 10^5 molecules CO) x 1 mol CO / 6.02 x 10^23 molecules CO

This cancels molecules CO.

Then, you can convert moles to grams, which is your desired quantity. You can find the number of grams for CO by looking at the periodic table and adding together their masses. C = 12 g and O = 16 g. Total of 28 g CO:

(1 mol CO) x 28 g CO / 1 mol CO

This cancels mol CO, which leaves grams CO.
