Which one of the following is an attribute for an extracting solvent?

Chemistry
1 answer:
PSYCHO15rus [73]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The answer is B

[The extracting solvent should be non-toxic and readily available]

Explanation:

The extracting solvent should not pose a risk to life (or the risk have to be minimum) and be available in large quantity.

A. Most of the extracting solvents are volatile, and is a good think because you can remove them by distillation.

C. The extraction solvent should <u>not</u> react with the solute, because you lose the extracted compound.

D. The extraction solvent should <u>not</u> be miscible with water. Usually you extract compounds organic compounds from water using an appropriate extracting solvent.

Given bh3, o3, co2, and nh3, which of these compound is an exception to the octet rules?.
Ghella [55]

Answer:

a. BH₃

Explanation:

According to the octet rules, atoms reach stability when are surrounded by eight electrons in their valence shell when they combine to form a chemical compound.

From the options, the only compound in which the central atom does not meet the octet rules is BH₃. The central atom is boron (B), which has 3 electrons in its valence shell. When B is combined with hydrogen (H), 3 electrons from the 3 atoms of H are added. The total amount of electrons is 6, fewer than 8 electrons needed to meet the rule.

If the two atoms participating in a bond have an electron negativity difference of 1.9 , what type of of bond would they be part
brilliants [131]

Answer:

Polar covalent bond.

Explanation:

When the bond is formed between the atoms by sharing the electrons the bond thus have covalent character.   The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards it self and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.  When the electronegativity difference is less than 0.4 the bond is non polar covalent.

When bonded atoms have greater electronegativity difference i.e 2 or greater than two the bond is ionic because electron is transfer from low electronegative atom to highest electronegative atom.

For example:

In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial positive.

In case of H₂, Cl₂, Br₂ the bond has very high covalent character because of zero electronegativity difference.

An atom of uranium-238 undergoes radioactive decay to form an atom of thorium-234. Which type of nuclear decay has occurred?
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:-

Alpha decay

Explanation:-

Uranium 238 has atomic number 92 and mass number 238.

Thorium 234 has atomic number 90 and mass number 234.

So, the change in atomic number as uranium 238 disintegrates into thorium234 = 92 – 90 = 2

So, the change in mass number as uranium 238 disintegrates into thorium234= 238 – 234 = 4

We know that when an alpha particle is emitted, the mass number decreases by 4 and the atomic number decreases by 2.

So when an atom of uranium 238 undergoes radioactive decay to form an atom of thorium-234, alpha decay has occurred.
