What are the period and group trends in electronegativities

Chemistry
1 answer:
Leviafan [203]3 years ago
8 0

Electronegativity of an element decreases as we move down a group on the periodic table and electronegativity increases while moving from left to right across a period on the periodic table.

Explanation:

  • The electronegativity increases as we move from left to right across a period because from left to right across a period, the nuclear charge is increasing Hence the attraction for the valence electrons also increases.
  • As we move down a group, the atoms of each element have an increasing number of energy levels. The distance between the nucleus and valence electron shell increases and reduces the attraction for valence electrons. Hence electronegativity decreases as we move from top to bottom down a group.

When carbon is burned in air, it reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. When 27.6 g of carbon were burned in the presence of
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 101.2 g of CO2

Explanation:

C = 27.6 g

O₂ = 86.5 g   remained 12.9 g

O₂ that reacted = 86.5 - 12.9 = 73.6 g

                     C     + O₂      ⇒        CO₂      The equation is balanced

                    27.6    73.6                 ?

MW               12        32                  44

Rule of three

                        12 g of C------------------  44 g  CO2

                       27.6 g C  ------------------    x

                  x = 27.6(44)/12 = 101.2 g of CO2

                       32 g of O2 ---------------    44 g of CO2

                        73.6 g of O2 ------------      x

                  x = 73.6(44)/32 = 101.2 g of CO2

Which of the following possess the greatest concentration of hydroxide ions?
jek_recluse [69]

Answer : The correct option is (d) a solution of 0.10 M NaOH

Explanation :

<u>(a) a solution of pH 3.0</u>

First we have to calculate the pOH.

pH+pOH=14\\\\pOH=14-pH\\\\pOH=14-3.0=11

Now we have to calculate the OH^- concentration.

pOH=-\log [OH^-]

11=-\log [OH^-]

[OH^-]=1.0\times 10^{-11}M

Thus, the OH^- concentration is, 1.0\times 10^{-11}M

<u>(b) a solution of 0.10 M NH_3</u>

As we know that 1 mole of NH_3 is a weak base. So, in a solution it will not dissociates completely.

So, the OH^- concentration will be less than 0.10 M

<u>(c) a solution with a pOH of 12.</u>

We have to calculate the OH^- concentration.

pOH=-\log [OH^-]

12=-\log [OH^-]

[OH^-]=1.0\times 10^{-12}M

Thus, the OH^- concentration is, 1.0\times 10^{-12}M

<u>(d) a solution of 0.10 M NaOH</u>

As we know that NaOH is a strong base. So, it dissociates to give Na^+ ion and OH^- ion.

So, 0.10 M of NaOH in a solution dissociates to give 0.10 M of Na^+ ion and 0.10 M of OH^- ion.

Thus, the OH^- concentration is, 0.10 M

<u>(e) a 1\times 10^{-4}M solution of HNO_2</u>

As we know that 1 mole of HNO_2 in a solution dissociates to give 1 mole of H^+ ion and 1 mole of NO_2^- ion.

So, 1\times 10^{-4}M of HNO_2 in a solution dissociates to give 1\times 10^{-4}M of H^+ ion and 1\times 10^{-4}M of NO_2^- ion.

The concentration of H^+ ion is 1\times 10^{-4}M

First we have to calculate the pH.

pH=-\log [H^+]

pH=-\log (1.0\times 10^{-4})

pH=4

Now we have to calculate the pOH.

pH+pOH=14\\\\pOH=14-pH\\\\pOH=14-4=10

Now we have to calculate the OH^- concentration.

pOH=-\log [OH^-]

10=-\log [OH^-]

[OH^-]=1.0\times 10^{-10}M

Thus, the OH^- concentration is, 1.0\times 10^{-10}M

From this we conclude that, a solution of 0.10 M NaOH possess the greatest concentration of hydroxide ions.

Hence, the correct option is (d)

What kind of chemical reaction does the chemical equation sodium + chlorine → sodium chloride represent?
scoundrel [369]
<span>The answer is synthesis. This is a kind of reaction in which numerous reactants mix to make a single product. Synthesis responses discharge energy in the way of heat and light, so they are exothermic. An instance of a synthesis reaction is the creation of water from hydrogen and oxygen.</span>
