Answer : The correct option is, (c) 79.62

Explanation :

The formula used for percent humidity is:

\text{Percent humidity}=\text{Relative humidity}\times \frac{p-p^o_v}{p-p_v}\times 100   ..........(1)

The formula used for relative humidity is:

\text{Relative humidity}=\frac{p_v}{p^o_v}       ...........(2)

where,

p_v = partial pressure of water vapor

p^o_v = vapor pressure of water

p = total pressure

First we have to calculate the partial pressure of water vapor by using equation 2.

Given:

p=750mmHg

p^o_v=17.5mmHg

Relative humidity = 80 % = 0.80

Now put all the given values in equation 2, we get:

0.80=\frac{p_v}{17.5mmHg}

p_v=14mmHg

Now we have to calculate the percent humidity by using equation 1.

\text{Percent humidity}=0.80\times \frac{750-17.5}{750-14}\times 100

\text{Percent humidity}=79.62\%

Therefore, the percent humidity is 79.62 %

The electronegativity of C = 2.5, O = 3.5. What type of bond is between C-O? ______ ______ bond
Schach [20]

Answer:

Polar covalent bond

Explanation:

On the basis of electronegativity bond could be ionic bond, polar and non pole covalent bond.

Ionic bond:

It is the bond which is formed by the transfer of electron from one atom to the atom of another element.  

Both bonded atoms have very large electronegativity difference. The atom with large electronegativity value accept the electron from other with smaller value of electronegativity.  The electronegativity difference between bonded atoms is greater than 1.7.

For example:

Sodium chloride is ionic compound. The electronegativity of chlorine is 3.16 and for sodium is 0.93. There is large difference is present. That's why electron from sodium is transfer to the chlorine. Sodium becomes positive and chlorine becomes negative ion. Both atoms are bonded together electrostatic attraction occur between anion and cations.

Covalent bond:

It is formed by the sharing of electron pair between bonded atoms.  

The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards it self and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.  There are two type of covalent bond. Polar and non polar covalent bond. When electronegativity difference is 0.4 - 1.7 bond is polar covalent bond when it is less than 0.4 the bond is non polar covalent.

For example:

In CO the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.5 and carbon is 2.5. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and carbon becomes partial positive. and bond is polar covalent.
