Answer:

The correct statements that you must check are:

  • The oxygen atom has a greater attraction for electrons than the hydrogen atom does (second statement).

  • The electrons of the covalent bond are not shared equally between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms (fourth statement).

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the relative ability of an atom to pull the electrons in a covalent bond.

Hydrogen has an electronegativity of 2.20 and oxygen has 3.44. That means that oxygen attracts the electrons more strongly than hydrogen does (second statement).

As consequence, the electrons in the covalent bond H - O of water are not shared equally (fourth statement): the electron density will  be higher around the O atoms.

Of course, this discards the statement telling that hydrogen atom attracts electrons much more strongly than the oxygen atom, and the statement telling that hydrogen and oxigen have same electronegativity.

Such difference in electron densities creates a dipole moment, so you discard the last statement (that the water dipole moment is equal to zero).

Balance the following skeleton ionic reaction, and calculate E°cell to decide whether the reaction is spontaneous: Ag(s) + Cu2+
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

2Ag(s) + Cu^2+(aq) ----------> 2Ag^+(aq) + Cu(s)

Explanation:

Ag(s)/Ag^+ (aq) is the anode as shown while Cu^2+(aq)/Cu^2(s) is the cathode.

E°cell= E°cathode -E°anode= 0.34 -0.80= -0.5V

The cell is not spontaneous as written because E°cell is negative. This implies that the electrodes of the cell must be interchanged to make the cell spontaneous.

from the following equation in which decomposition of CaCO3 takes place, give your justification. CaCO3 gives Ca +CO2 ​
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

CaCO₃(s) => CaO(s) + CO₂(g) ... GpIIA Decomp

Explanation:

Metallic Carbonates decompose into a metallic oxide and carbon dioxide.

Examples:

Na₂CO₃(s) => Na₂O(s) + CO₂(g) ... GpIA Decomp

MgCO₃(s) => MgO(s) + CO₂(g) ... GpIIA Decomp
