On the basis of electronegativity, which of these pairs of elements is most likely to form polyatomic ions?

Chemistry

Vinvika [58]3 years ago
7 0
Correct Answer: <span>O and P

Reason: 
The nature of bond depends on the electronegativity difference of constituent atoms. If difference in electronegativity of constituent atoms is more, it will result in ionic bonding. Alternatively, if difference in electronegativity of constituent atoms is less, it will prefer covalent bonding. Further,  covalently bonded </span><span>elements are most likely to form polyatomic ions.

In present case, electronegativity difference of O and P is minimum. Hence, they </span><span>are most likely to form polyatomic ions.</span>

The average rate of disappearance of ozone in the reaction 2o3(g) → 3o2(g) is found to be 7.25×10–3 atm over a certain interval
worty [1.4K]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

1.0875 x 10-2 atm

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

2O3(g) → 3O2(g)

rate = -(1/2)∆[O3]/∆t = +(1/3)∆[O2)/∆t  

The average rate of disappearance of ozone ... is found to  

be 7.25 × 10–3 atm over a certain interval of time.

This means (ignoring time)

∆[O3]/∆t = -7.25 × 10^–3 atm  

(it is disappearing, thus the negative sign)

rate = -(1/2)∆[O3]/∆t  

rate = -(1/2)*(-7.25 × 10^–3 atm)

      = 3.625 × 10^–3 atm  

Now use the other part of the expression:  

rate = +(1/3)∆[O2)∆t  

3.625 × 10–3 atm = +(1/3)∆[O2)/t  

∆[O2)/∆t = (3)*(3.625× 10^–3 atm)

              = 1.0875 x 10-2 atm over the same time interval

D = m / V


It even gives you the density of gold in the problem. Major hint. Once you know the volume (using V = m / D) then you can calculate the height (thickness) from the equation...


V = L x W x H

Volume = Length x Width x Height


start by converting 200.0 mg into grams

1000 mg = 1 g

200. mg x (1 g / 10^3 mg) = 0.200 g


V = m / D

V = 0.200 g / (19.32 g/cm^3)

V = 0.01035 cm^3


Convert 2.4 ft and 1 ft to cm

2.4 ft x (12 in / 1 ft) x (2.54 cm / 1 in) = 73.15 cm

1 ft = 30.48 cm


Compute the height (thickness)

V = LxWxH

H = V / LW = 0.01035 cm^3 / 73.15 cm / 30.48 cm

H = 4.64 x 10^-6 cm


Convert to nanometers

4.64 x 10^-6 cm x (1 m / 100 cm) x (10^9 nm / 1 m) = 46.4 nm


Knowing the atomic radius of gold, I might have asked my students for the minimum number of gold atoms in this thickness of gold. This would assume that the gold atoms are all in a row. This would give the minimum number of gold atoms.


Atomic radius gold = 174 pm

Diameter = 348 pm


46.4 nm x (1 m / 10^9 nm) x (10^12 pm / 1 m) x (1 Au atom / 248 pm) = 133 atoms of gold
