A. Structure of the atom determines how easily an electron can be removed from an atom.

Shkiper50 [21]3 years ago

Temperature of the environment, surrounding atoms and size of atom are all factors which affect removal of electron. Increase in temperature increases the probability of removal of electron. But size of the atom plays very important role in removal of electrons. In case of large sized atom, the nuclear attraction of nucleus on valence electrons decreases which eases the removal of electrons. Hope this helps.

The volume of an irregular solid can be found from its displacement in a known volume of water.

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

The volume of an irregularly shaped solid can be determined from the volume of water it displaces. A graduated cylinder contains 19.9 mL of water. When a small piece of galena is added, it sinks and the volume increases to 24.5 mL

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

Functional groups create active sites in molecules. The polar part of a molecule that can hydrogen bond to water is said be hydr

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Polar/Hydrophilic

Explanation:

Fluorine, Nitrogen and Oxygen are strong electronegative atoms and by definition, Electronegativity is the amount of pull or the high affinity of an atom to electrons.

Polar bond occurs when there is a high difference between the electronegativity value of both atoms that take part in the bond.

A polar molecule has a net dipole from the distribution of its positive and negayive charges. Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic (in chemistry, Polar) are terms dependent on the overall distribution of charge in its molecule.

Therefore, bonds between C-N, C-O and C-Cl are polar covalent bonds a d this is because of the jigh electronegativity possessed by Nitrogen, Oxygen and Chlorine.
