Answer:

C) Fluorine has the strongest tendency to attract electrons.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the tendency of the atom in a covalent bond to attract the shared pair of electron towards itself.

Down the group, size increases which means that the nucleus become far from the valence electrons and thus decreased electronegativity as there will be less tendency to attract the shared electrons.

Fluorine and iodine are in the same group and thus fluorine has higher tendency to attract electrons and thus has the highest electronegativity.

How many mols of a 3M NaOH solution are in 1L of the solution?

Alex

To calculate this, we need the Molarity formula. This formula tell us that Molarity, which is a concentration unit, is equal to the number of moles divided by the volume. In this question we already have the Molarity and the Volume, so let's build our equation:

C = n/V (You can see Molarity with the letter "C" because it means concentration)

3 = n/1

n = 1 * 3

n = 3 moles of NaOH

What would cause the pressure of a gas to increase?

IrinaK [193]

Answer: The pressure of a gas will increase when there is a decrease in the volume of the gas.

Explanation: according to Boyle's law, the volume of a gas will decrease when the pressure is increased at constant temperature and vice versa.

What is the missing word in the word equation below?

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

sodium carbonate

Explanation:

Sodium hydrogen carbonate (also known as sodium bicarbonate or bicarbonate of soda) has the chemical formula NaHCO3. When it is heated above about 80°C it begins to break down, forming sodium carbonate, water and carbon dioxide. This type of reaction is called a thermal decomposition.

Why does water evaperate

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Explanation:

water evaporates because when h2o (water) particles heat up, they gain energy causing them to start to vibrate. this moves the oarticles further and further away from eachother and making the substance less dense, and turning it into a gas. meaning it has evaporated

A 2.912 g sample of a compounds containing only C, H, and O was completely oxidized in a reaction that yielded 3.123 g of water

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

18 gram of water contains 2 g of hydrogen

3.123 gram of water will contain 2 x 3.123 / 18 = .347 g of hydrogen .

44 gram of carbon dioxide contains 12 g of carbon

7.691 gram of carbon dioxide will contain 12 x 7.691 / 44 = 2.1 g of carbon .

So the sample will contain 2.912 - ( .347 + 2.1 ) g of oxygen .

= .465 g of oxygen .

moles of Carbon = 2.1 / 12 = .175

moles of hydrogen = .347 / 1 = .347

moles of oxygen = .465 / 16 = .029

Ratio of moles of carbon , oxygen and hydrogen ( C,O,H )

= 0.175 : 0.029 : 0.347

= .175/ .029 : 1 : .347 / .029

= 6 : 1 : 12

So empirical formula = C₆H₁₂O

Let the molecular formula be $(C_6H_{12}O)_n$

molecular weight = n ( 6 x 12 + 12x 1 + 16)

= 100 n

Given 100 n = 100.1

n = 1

Molecular formula = C₆H₁₂O.
