Explanation:

More is the electronegativity of atoms attached to the alpha carbon atom more will be the attraction of electron towards it. As a result, release of hydrogen ion will be easier.

Therefore, there will be increased in acidity of the compound.

Since, fluorine, chlorine and bromine are all group 17 elements and fluorine is more reactive than chlorine. On the other hand, chlorine is more reactive than bromine.

Hence, ability to attract the electrons towards itself will be maximum in fluorine and least in bromine.

Therefore, decreasing order of acidity of the given compounds is as follows.

        CF_{3}COOH >  CCl_{3}COOH > CBr_{3}COOH > CH_{3}COOH

Prior to hosting an international soccer match, the local soccer club needs to replace the artifical turf on their field with gr
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

It will cost $68,620.5 to the club to add the grass turf to their field.

Explanation:

length of the field = l = 0.102 km = 0.102 × 1000 m

( 1km = 1000 m)

Width of the field w = 0.069 km = 0.069 × 1000 m

Area of the field , A= l × w

A=0.102\times 1000 m\times 0.069\times 1000 m=7,038 m^2

Cost of grass turfing = 9.75 \$/m^2

Cost of grass turfing on field of 7,038 m^2 :

=7,038 m^2\times 9.75 \$/m^2=\$68,620.5

It will cost $68,620.5 to the club to add the grass turf to their field.

If 25.3 grams of mercury(II) oxide react to form 23.4 grams of mercury, how many grams of oxygen must simultaneously be formed?
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer : The mass of oxygen formed must be 3.8 grams.

Explanation :

Law of conservation of mass : It states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

This also means that total mass on the reactant side must be equal to the total mass on the product side.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

2HgO\rightarrow 2Hg+O_2

According to the law of conservation of mass,

Total mass of reactant side = Total mass of product side

Total mass of 2HgO = Total mass of 2Hg+O_2

As we are given :

The mass of HgO = 25.3 grams

The mass of Hg = 23.4 grams

So,

2\times 25.3g=2\times 23.4g+\text{Mass of }O_2

50.6g=46.8g+\text{Mass of }O_2

\text{Mass of }O_2=3.8g

Therefore, the mass of oxygen formed must be 3.8 grams.

The graph below shows the volume and the mass of four different substances at STP.
sladkih [1.3K]
The formula of density is mass / volume

This means that
- high mass, low volume = high density
- high mass, high volume = so-so
- low mass, high volume = low density

From the graph shown, 
D has the lowest density because it has low mass yet high volume.
