Electronegativity is a measure of an atom’s affinity for electrons. Which of the following statements is true? Electronegativity

increases as the size of atom increases. Electronegativity decreases as the size of atom decreases. Electronegativity increases as the size of atom decreases. Electronegativity is not related to atom size.

Answer: Electronegativity increases as the size of an atom decrease.

Explanation: Electronegativity is the measure of the ability of an atom in a bond to attract electrons to itself.

Electronegativity increases across a period and decreases down a group.

Towards the left of the table, valence shells are less than half full, so these atoms (metals) tend

to lose electrons and have low electronegativity. Towards the right of the table, valence shells are more than half full, so these atoms (nonmetals) tend to gain electrons and have high electronegativity.

Down a group, the number of energy levels (n) increases, and so does the distance between the nucleus and the outermost orbital. The increased distance and the increased shielding weaken the nuclear attraction, and so an atom can’t attract electrons as strongly.

When heated to 150 ºC, CuSO4.5 H2O loses its water of hydration as gaseous H2O. A 2.50 g sample of the compound is placed in a s
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Water pressure 0.5 atm

Total Pressure= 2.27  atm

Explanation:

To answer this problem, one has to realize that there are two processes that increase the temperature of the sealed vessel.

First, the dry air in the sealed vessel will be heated which will cause its pressure to increase and it can be determined by the equation:

P₁ x T₂   = P₂ x T₁  ∴  P₂ =  P₁ x T₂ / T₁

For the second process, we have an amount of n moles of water which will be released when the copper sulfate is heated. In this case, to determine the value of the the water gas we will use the gas law:

   PV = nRT  ∴ P =  nRT/V

n will we calculated from the quantity of sample.

2.50 g  CuSo₄ 5H₂O x  1 mol/ 249.69 g = 0.01 mol CuSo₄ 5H₂O

the amount water of hydration is

= 0.01 mol CuSo₄ 5H₂O * 5 mol H₂O / 1 mol CuSo₄ 5H₂O

= 0.05 mo H₂O

pressure of dry air at the final temperature,

P₂ = 1 atm x 500 K/ 300 K = 1.67 atm

Pressure of water :

P (H₂O) 0.05 mol x 0.08206 Latm/kmol x 500 K/ 4 L = 0.5 atm

∴ Total Pressure =  1.67 atm

H2O Pressure = 0.5 atm

Complete the following reaction.<br> 14N+ on →?C+1H<br> 18C<br> 14<br> 1 C<br> 18C
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer: The complete reaction is as follows.

 ^{14}_{7}N + ^{1}_{0}n \rightarrow ^{14}_{6}C + ^{1}_{1}H

Explanation:

When nucleus of two or more atoms are bombarded together then it leads to the formation of new particles with new identity. This type of reaction are called nuclear reaction.

For example, ^{14}_{7}N + ^{1}_{0}n \rightarrow ?C + ^{1}_{1}H

Here, nitrogen atom when bombarded with a neutron then it is forming hydrogen and a carbon atom.

As total atomic mass on reactant side is (14 + 1) = 15

So, the atomic mass of carbon formed on product side is (15 - 1) = 14.

The number of protons holded by this carbon atom is (7 - 1) = 6.

Therefore, we can conclude that the complete reaction is as follows.

 ^{14}_{7}N + ^{1}_{0}n \rightarrow ^{14}_{6}C + ^{1}_{1}H

Which of these is the best definition of a fuel cell?
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

A voltaic cell that uses the oxidation of a fuel to produce electricity  

Explanation:

A fuel cell is a voltaic cell that converts the chemical energy of a fuel and an oxidizing agent into electricity.

A. is wrong. This definition is so broad that it could include a candle in a cup.

C is wrong. The batteries in flashlights and cell phones are not fuel cells.
