Answer: Group 1 would have the lowest electronegativity values.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the power of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons. It is also synonymous with the oxidizing ability or non-metallic character of elements.

Generally, across a given period from left to right, electronegativity increases due to increasing nuclear charge and decreasing atomic radius ( or atomic size ). This is because there is a greater tendency for a smaller atom with higher nuclear attraction to attract electrons than a larger atom with a lower nuclear attraction due to the shielding effect of the nuclear attraction by the inner shell electrons on the outermost electrons in the larger atom.

Also, down a particular group, electronegativity generally decreases due to increasing atomic radius/size.

This is why metals are generally electropositive ( lose electrons ) and non-metals are electronegative ( gain electrons ) as they are both found more on the left and right sides of the periodic table respectively.

For the following reaction in aqueous solution, identify all those species that will be spectator ions. Select all that apply.

FromTheMoon [43]

The reaction is incorrect. The correct reaction is: Na₂SO₄ + Hg(NO₃)₂ → HgSO₄ + 2NaNO₃. The options are:

A. Hg₂SO₄

B. Na₂SO₄

C. Na⁺

D. NO₃⁻

E. SO₄⁻²

F. Hg₂(NO₃)₂

G. NaNO₃

H. Hg⁺²

Answer:

C, D, E, H

Explanation:

The ions are formed after dissociation of the compound in the solution. When they're negatively charged, they're called anions, when they're negatively charged, they're called cations. If the ion is presented on both sides of the reaction, it is called a spectator ion.

Thus, the reaction given:

Na₂SO₄ + Hg(NO₃)₂ → HgSO₄ + 2NaNO₃

So, let's do the dissociation.

Na₂SO₄ is formed by the ions Na⁺ and SO₄⁻²;

Hg(NO₃)₂ is formed by the ions Hg⁺² and NO₃⁻;

HgSO₄ is formed by the ions Hg⁺² and SO₄⁻²;

NaNO₃ is formed by the ions Na⁺ and NO₃⁻.

Thus, the spectator ions are Na⁺, SO₄⁻², Hg⁺², and NO₃⁻.

Well insulated houses use less energy to keep them warm. This means that less carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, is released into the atmosphere from burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) in our power stations and central heating boilers. Global warming is occurring because large volumes of greenhouse gases – including carbon dioxide – are accumulating in the Earth’s atmosphere. This causes the planet’s average air and ocean temperatures to increase and sea levels to rise, resulting in increasingly severe weather conditions. This effect is called climate change and it’s already happening. By improving the insulation of your home, you will be playing your part in reducing the effect of global warming.

A glass sphere is filled to full volume with a gas. The pressure of the gas inside the sphere is 30.0 atm, and the temperature i

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

28atm

Explanation:

Using Gay lussac's law equation as follows:

P1/T1 = P2/T2

Where;

P1 = initial pressure (atm)

T1 = initial temperature (K)

P2 = final pressure (atm)

T2 = final temperature (K)

Based on the information provided in this question;

P1 = 30.0 atm, T1 = 30.0°C, P2 = ?, T2 = 10.0°C

NOTE: Absolute temperature i.e. Kelvin is required for this law

T1 = 30°C + 273K = 303K

T2 = 10°C + 273K = 283K

Using P1/T1 = P2/T2

30/303 = P2/283

Cross multiply

P2 × 303 = 30 × 283

303P2 = 8490

P2 = 8490/303

P2 = 28.02

New pressure of the gas = 28atm

What mass of silver oxide, Ag2O is required to produce 25.0 g of silver sulfadiazine, AgC10H9N4SO2, from the reaction of silver

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

8.1107 g

Explanation:

The given reaction:

$2C_{10}H_{10}N_4SO_2+Ag_2O\rightarrow 2AgC_{10}H_9N_4SO_2+H_2O$

Given that:

Mass of silver sulfadiazine = 25.0 g

Molar mass of silver sulfadiazine = 357.14 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$Moles= \frac{25.0\ g}{357.14\ g/mol}$

$Moles= 0.07\ mol$

From the reaction,

2 moles of silver sulfadiazine are formed from 1 mole of silver oxide

So,

1 mole of silver sulfadiazine are formed from 1/2 mole of silver oxide

0.07 mole of silver sulfadiazine are formed from 1/2*0.07 mole of silver oxide

Moles of silver oxide = 0.035 moles

Molar mass of silver oxide = 231.735 g/mol

Mass = Moles * Molar mass = 0.035 moles * 231.735 g/mol = 8.1107 g
