All three of the phosphorus-fluorine single bonds in pf3 are polar. in which direction should the polarity arrows point?

1 answer:

3 0

One of the causes of polarity is the unequal forces of the dipole forces due to differences in electronegativity. The more electronegative molecule tend to attract electrons, hence the polarity arrows point towards it. The electronegativity of Phosphorus and Fluorine is 2.19 and 3.98, respectively. Thus, it points outward towards the fluorine atoms.

Which symbol can be used to indicate the pressure at which a chemical reaction is carried out? 25 degrees Celsius over a right a

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

2 atm

Explanation:

Chemical reactions are carried out at a certain rate. Sometimes that rate is quite slow, so we want to speed things up, which is usually used by increasing temperature, increasing pressure or adding a catalyst (a substance that increases the rate without changing itself).

If this is the case, then, when writing a chemical equation, we state these special conditions over a right arrow.

Now let's look at the answers:

- 25°C is a value and unit of temperature

- ∆ is a symbol that denotes change

- 2 atm is a value and unit of pressure (atmosphere is old unit for pressure)

- Pt is a chemical symbol for platinum, an element often used as a catalyst.

So, the correct answer is C) 2 atm

4.50 g of a certain Compound X, known to be made of carbon, hydrogen and perhaps oxygen, and to have a molecular molar mass of 1

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

$\mathbf{C_{10}H_8}$ ( Naphthalene )

Explanation:

Given that:

4.50 g of a Compound X is made up of Carbon , Hydron and Oxygen

It's molecular molar mass = 128 g/mol

Compound X undergoes combustion reaction and the product yield :

CO_2 with mass 15.47g and :

H_2O with mass 2.53 g

The objective is to use this information to determine the molecular formula of X.

We all know that ; number of moles = mass/molar mass

where the molar mass of H_2O is 18 g/mol

number of moles of H_2O product = 2.53 g/18 g/mol

number of moles of H_2O product = 0.1406 moles

Also; the molar mass of CO_2 product = 44 g/mol

number of moles of CO_2 product = 15.47g/ 44 g/mol

number of moles of CO_2 product = 0.3516 moles

number of moles of Compound X in the reactant side= 4.50 g /128 g/mol

number of moles of Compound X n the reactant side= 0.03516 moles

Now; number number of moles of CO_2 in reactant = 0.3516 moles/0.03516 moles

Now; number number of moles of CO_2 in reactant = 10

number of moles of H_2O reactant = 0.1406 moles × 2/0.03516

number of moles of H_2O reactant = 7.997 ≅ 8

Since we said the Compound X is known to be made of Carbon C , Hydrogen H and Oxygen O

Then the molecular formula can be written as :

$\mathbf{C_{10}H_8O_{x}}$

In order to find the x; we have

128 = (12 × 10 + 1 × 8 + 16 × x)

128 = 120 + 8 + 16x)

128 = 128 + 16 x

128 - 128 = 16 x

0 = 16 x

x = 0/16

x = 0

As x = 0 ; hence there are no oxygen present in the reaction

Thus; the molecular formula of Compound X = $\mathbf{C_{10}H_8}$ which is also known as Naphthalene

Which locations are likely to have subatomic particles with the least mass?

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

2 and 3 because there are the protons and neutrons which have a greater mass than the electrons which are found in the locations 1 and 4. The atom contains a nucleus, which is made from protons and neutrons, and electrons which are found around the nucleus. The mass of the atoms is concentrated in the very tiny space represented by the nucleus. Of course the electrons have a mass too, but is very small compared to the protons and neutrons, and we usually neglect its mass.
