While staying in the same period, if we move from left to right across the period, the atomic radius decreases. The reason is, in a period the number of shells remain the same and the number of electrons and protons increase as we move across the period to the right. The increased electrons and protons attract each other with greater force and hence the atomic size decreases. 

So the element on the left most will have the largest atomic radius. So the correct ans is Potassium. Potassium will have the largest atomic size among Potassium, Calcium and Scandium.

How much ch2o is needed to prepare 445 ml of a 2.65 m solution of ch2o?
worty [1.4K]

Answer: 35.4 grams

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per Liter of the solution.

Molarity=\frac{n\times 1000}{V_s}

where,

Molality = 2.65

n= moles of solute =?

 V_s = volume of solution in ml = 445 ml

Putting in the values we get:

2.65=\frac{n\times 1000}{445ml}

n=1.18

Mass of solute in g=moles\times {\text {molar mass}}=1.18mol\times 30.02g/mol=35.4g

Thus 35.4 grams of CH_2O is needed to prepare 445 ml of a 2.65 m solution of CH_2O.

Functional group and bond hybridization of vanillin
lana66690 [7]

Vanillin is the common name for 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzaldehyde.

See attached figure for the structure.

Vanillin have 3 functional groups:

1) aldehyde group:  R-HC=O, in which the carbon is double bonded to oxygen

2) phenolic hydroxide group: R-OH, were the hydroxyl group is bounded to a carbon from the benzene ring

3) ether group: R-O-R, were hydrogen is bounded through sigma bonds to carbons

Now for the hybridization we have:

The carbon atoms involved in the benzene ring and the red carbon atom (from the aldehyde group) have a <u>sp²</u> hybridization because they are involved in double bonds.

The carbon atom from the methoxy group (R-O-CH₃) and the blue oxygen's have a  <u>sp³</u>  hybridization because they are involved only in single bonds.

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

[IBr] = 0.049 M.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the balanced chemical reaction:

I_2+Br_2\rightarrow 2IBr

It is possible to set up the following equilibrium expression:

K=\frac{[IBr]^2}{[I_2][Br_2]} =0.0110

Whereas the the initial concentrations of both iodine and bromine are 0.50 M; and in terms of x (reaction extent) would be:

0.0110=\frac{(2x)^2}{(0.50-x)^2}

Which can be solved for x to obtain two possible results:

x_1=-0.0277M\\\\x_2=0.0245M

Whereas the correct result is 0.0245 M since negative results does not make any sense. Thus, the concentration of the product turns out:

[IBr]=2x=2*0.0249M=0.049M

Regards!

The clearer answer is they measure the remaining carbon, and the less that there is the older the fossil is.
