Arrange the following in order of increasing bond strength of the carbon oxygen bond:
icang [17]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that length of a bond is inversely proportional to the bond strength. This also means that a single bond has long length due to which it is weak in nature.

And, a double bond is shorter in length and has more strength as compared to a single bond. Whereas a triple bond has the smallest length and it has high strength as compared to a double or single bond.

For example, carbon monoxide is CO where there is a triple bond between the carbon and oxygen atom.

Carbon dioxide is CO_{2} where there exists a double bond between the carbon and oxygen atom.

A carbonate ion is CO^{2-}_{3} when two oxygen atoms are attached through single bond with the carbon atom and another oxygen atom is attached through a double bond to the carbon atom.

Hence, we can conclude that order of increasing bond strength of the given carbon oxygen bond is as follows.

        Carbonate ion < carbon dioxide < carbon monoxide

Determine the mass of 5.20 moles of C6H12 (gram-formula mass = 84.2 grams/mole).
muminat

Hello!

Determine the mass of 5.20 moles of C6H12 (gram-formula mass = 84.2 grams/mole).

We have the following data:

m (mass) = ? 

n (number of moles) = 5.20 moles

MM (Molar mass of C6H12) ≈ 84.2 g/mol

Now, let's find the mass, knowing that:

n = \dfrac{m}{MM}

5.20\:\:\diagup\!\!\!\!\!\!\!mol = \dfrac{m}{84.2\:g/\diagup\!\!\!\!\!\!\!mol}

m = 5.20*84.2

\boxed{\boxed{m = 437.84\:g}}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark

Which of the following statements is not a description of asteroids?
seraphim [82]

Answer: Most of them lie in a belt between Earth and Mars.

Explanation:

Asteroids are small rocky bodies having irregular shape size which orbit sun. Majority of the asteroids are found in a belt between orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Scientists presume that these asteroids are remains of a planet that never formed between Mars and Jupiter due to great gravitational pull of the largest planet of the solar -system - Jupiter.

Thus, the incorrect description of the asteroids is: Most of them lie in a belt between Earth and Mars.
