The correct answer is HF

You can compare the strength of the hydrogen bonding by comparing the electronegativities of the other elements. All the four elements, Br, F, Cl and I belong to the same group in the periodic table: group 17 named halogens. Then the kind of bonding they form is similar: polar covalent. You must know the trend of the electronegativities in the periodic table. Electronegativity decrease when you down across a group. Then the electronegativity of F is the higher of the group (indeed, it is the highest of all the 118 elements) . The higher the electronegativity the stronger the attraction that the halogen attracts the electrons and the stronger the hydorgen bonding. Then, the conclusion is that HF has the strongest hydrogen bonding.

How do the physical and chemical properties the halogens compare with those of the noble gases?

KonstantinChe [14]

Explanation:

To form bonds with noble gases, a lot of energy is required to form those bonds. Halogens, on the other hand, are extremely reactive. ... The halogens tend to be very reactive, while the noble gases are in no way reactive and don't bond easily, if at all.

What is the economic impact of too much calcium ions in a given source of water?

kolbaska11 [484]

Water with high levels of calcium ions is referred to as hard water. While hard water has health benefits, this type of water has economic implications in the industry and households too. In the industry, hard water can cause a breakdown of equipment such as boilers, over time. In the household, too much soap is used when washing with hard water than soft water. Therefore hard water requires to be softened before industrial use. Economically, this increases the cost of production.

Consider the following reaction of the commercial production of SO3 using sulfur dioxide and oxygen: SO2(g) + O2(g) → SO3(g)

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

$m_{SO_3}=18.93gSO_3$

$V_{SO_3}=5.3LSO_3$

Explanation:

Hello,

STP conditions are P=1 atm and T=273.15 K, thus, the reacting moles are:

$n_{SO_2}=\frac{5.3L*1atm}{0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*273.15K}=0.2366molSO_2\\n_{O_2}=\frac{4.7L*1atm}{0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*273.15K}=0.2098molO_2$

Now, the balanced chemical reaction turns out into:

$2SO_2(g) + O_2(g) --> 2SO_3(g)$

Thus, the exact moles of oxygen that completely react with 0.2366 moles of sulfur dioxide are (limiting reagent identification):

$0.2366molSO_2*\frac{1molO_2}{2molSO_2}=0.1182molO_2$

Since 0.2098 moles of oxygen are available, we stipulate the oxygen is in excess and the sulfur dioxide is the limiting reagent. In such a way, the yielded grams of sulfur trioxide turn out into:

$m_{SO_3}=0.2366molSO_2*\frac{2molSO_3}{2molSO_2}*\frac{80gSO_3}{1molSO_3} \\m_{SO_3}=18.93gSO_3$

By using the ideal gas equation, one computes the volume as:

$V_{SO_3}=\frac{mRT}{MP}=\frac{18.93g*0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K} *273.15K}{80g/mol*1atm}\\V_{SO_3}=5.3LSO_3$

It has sense for volume since the mole ratio is 2/2 between sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide.

Best regards.

Aluminum, silicon, and oxygen form minerals known as aluminosilicates. How many moles of aluminum are in 0.900 moles of pyrophyl

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

There are 1.8 moles of aluminum.

Explanation:

To solve this problem we need to convert moles of pyrophillite (Al₂Si₄O₁₀(OH)) into moles of aluminum (Al):

In one mol of Al₂Si₄O₁₀(OH) there are two moles of Al.

With the above information in mind we can now do the conversion:

0.900 moles Al₂Si₄O₁₀(OH) * $\frac{2molAl}{1molAl_2Si_4O_{10}(OH)}$ = 1.8 mol Al

Thus the answer is that there are 1.8 moles of aluminum.
