Why do some elements form double and triple bonds during bonding

Chemistry

Explanation:

Elements need a total of eight electrons to gain stability and look like a noble gas. So, they sometimes need sharing of two, four or even six electrons to complete their octate. So, they form double and triple covalent bonds. One more the reason is the interaction between the p orbitals of the combining atoms. for example A double bond, as in ethene H2C=CH2, arises from one combination of the s orbitals and one combination of the p_y orbitals.

Which of the following statements is false? Check all that apply. Gases are far more compressible than liquids The volume occupi

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The false statement is: 3. Because liquid water and liquid carbon tetrachloride do not mix, neither do their vapors

Explanation:

Gas is a state of matter, that has less density than liquids and solids. The gaseous particles have low intermolecular forces and thus they can move freely.

It is a very compressible fluid that has no fixed shape. Gas occupies the whole container in which it is stored, thus taking the shape of the container. Therefore, the volume of the gas is equal to the volume of the container.

Polar liquid like water (H₂O) and nonpolar liquid like carbon tetrachloride, are immiscible. However, in the gaseous state, their vapors form a homogeneous mixture.

The gas law for an ideal gas at absolute temperature T (in kelvins), pressure P (in atmospheres), and volume V (in liters) is PV

allsm [11]

Answer:

The rate of change of the temperature is 0.0365 Kelvin per minute.

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

ideal gas law: P*V = n*R*T

with P= pressure of the gas ( in atm) = 9.0 atm

with V= volume of the gass (in L) =12L

with n = number of moles = 10 moles

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L*atm* K^−1*mo^−1

T = temperature = TO BE DETERMINED

The volume decreases with a rate of 0.17L/min = dV/dT = -0.17

The pressure increases at a rate of 0.13atm/min = dP/dT

Step 2: The ideal gas law

P * [dV/dT] + V * [dP/dT] = nR * dT/dt

9 atm * (-0.17L/min) + 12L * 0.13atm/min = 10 moles * 0.0821 L*atm* K^−1*mo^−1 *dT/dt

0.03 = 0.821 * dT/dt

dT/dt = 0.03/0.821

dT/dt = 0.0365

Since the gas constant is expressed in Kelvin and not in °C, this means that the rate of chagnge of the temperature is 0.0365 Kelvin per 1 minute.

Nitroglycerin is a dangerous powerful explosive that violently decomposes when it is shaken or dropped. The Swedish chemist Alfr

marshall27 [118]

Answer: The balanced chemical equation for the decomposition of nitroglycerin is written below.

Explanation:

Decomposition reaction is defined as the reaction in which a single large substance breaks down into two or more smaller substances.

Every balanced chemical equation follows law of conservation of mass.

A balanced chemical equation is defined as the equation in which total number of individual atoms on the reactant side is equal to the total number of individual atoms on product side.

The balanced chemical equation for the decomposition of nitroglycerin follows:

$4C_3H_5N_3O_9(l)\rightarrow 12CO_2(g)+10H_2O(g)+6N_2(g)+O_2(g)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of liquid nitroglycerin decomposes into 12 moles of carbon dioxide gas, 10 moles of gaseous water, 6 moles of dinitrogen gas and 1 mole of dioxygen gas.

Hence, the balanced chemical equation for the decomposition of nitroglycerin is written above.
