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

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>

Select all statements that are correct:____
topjm [15]

Answer:

A, C and D are correct.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the relationship between the vapor pressure of a solution is directly proportional to the mole fraction of the solvent and the vapor pressure of the pure solvent as stated by the Raoult's law:

P_{vap}^{solution}=x_{solvent}P_{solvent}

Since the solute is not volatile, the mole fraction of the solute is not taken into account for vapor pressure of the solution, therefore A is correct whereas B is incorrect.

Moreover, since the higher the vapor pressure, the weaker the intermolecular forces due to the fact that less more molecules are like to change from liquid to vapor and therefore more energy is required for such change, we can evidence that both C and D are correct.

Best regards.

Calculate the mass of chromium metal produced when 425.0mL of 0.25M chromium(ll) nitrate reacts with a strip of zinc that remain
Reil [10]

The balanced chemical equation for the production of chromium metal from the reaction of chromium(ll) nitrate reacts with a strip of zinc is:

3 Zn + 2 Cr(NO₃)₃ → 2 Cr + 3 Zn(NO₃)₂

This is a redox reaction, which <u>is a chemical reaction in which one or more electrons are transferred between the reagents</u>, causing a change in their oxidation states. In the proposed reaction, Cr oxidation state goes from +3 to 0, becoming metallic chromium, while Zn goes from being Zn⁰ to Zn²⁺.

<u>The mass of chromium metal produced in the above reaction will be,</u>

425.0 mL x \frac{1 L}{1000 mL} x  \frac{0.25 mol Cr(NO_{3})_{3}  }{1 L} x \frac{2 mol Cr  }{2 mol Cr(NO_{3})_{3} } x \frac{51.9961 g Cr}{1 mol Cr} = 5.52 g

So, the mass of chromium metal produced when 425.0mL of 0.25M chromium(ll) nitrate reacts with a strip of zinc that remains in excess is 5.52 g of Cr.

A 100-meter sprint is a race using only the straight side of a racetrack. A 400-meter sprint is a race that makes one complete l
Neporo4naja [7]
For 100m Race ,
displacement = distance covered .
divide the above equation by time t (assuming it takes t time to complete 100m race),
we get,
velocity = speed.
and for 400m race 1 lap is completed this means that racer's initial and final position coincide (or same) hence,
displacement = 0,
distance ≠0=400m.
=> displacement ≠distance.
=> velocity ≠ speed.

Consider the reaction 5 Br− (aq) + BrO3− (aq) + 6 H+ (aq) → 3 Br2 (aq) + 3 H2O (l) The average rate of consumption of Br− is 1.8
kaheart [24]

Answer :  The average rate of consumption of H^+ during the same time interval is, 2.17 M/s

Explanation :

The general rate of reaction is,

aA+bB\rightarrow cC+dD

Rate of reaction : It is defined as the change in the concentration of any one of the reactants or products per unit time.

The expression for rate of reaction will be :

\text{Rate of disappearance of A}=-\frac{1}{a}\frac{d[A]}{dt}

\text{Rate of disappearance of B}=-\frac{1}{b}\frac{d[B]}{dt}

\text{Rate of formation of C}=+\frac{1}{c}\frac{d[C]}{dt}

\text{Rate of formation of D}=+\frac{1}{d}\frac{d[D]}{dt}

Rate=-\frac{1}{a}\frac{d[A]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{b}\frac{d[B]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{c}\frac{d[C]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{d}\frac{d[D]}{dt}

From this we conclude that,

In the rate of reaction, A and B are the reactants and C and D are the products.

a, b, c and d are the stoichiometric coefficient of A, B, C and D respectively.

The negative sign along with the reactant terms is used simply to show that the concentration of the reactant is decreasing and positive sign along with the product terms is used simply to show that the concentration of the product is increasing.

The given rate of reaction is,

5Br^-(aq)+BrO_3^-(aq)+6H^+(aq)\rightarrow 3Br_2(aq)+3H_2O(l)

The expression for rate of reaction :

\text{Rate of disappearance of }Br^-=-\frac{1}{5}\frac{d[Br^-]}{dt}

\text{Rate of disappearance of }BrO_3^-=-\frac{d[BrO_3^-]}{dt}

\text{Rate of disappearance of }H^+=-\frac{1}{6}\frac{d[H^+]}{dt}

\text{Rate of formation of }Br_2=+\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}

\text{Rate of formation of }H_2O=+\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[H_2O]}{dt}

As we are given:

\frac{d[Br^-]}{dt}=1.81M/s

Now we have to determine the average rate of consumption of H^+ during the same time interval.

As,

-\frac{1}{5}\frac{d[Br^-]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{6}\frac{d[H^+]}{dt}

or,

-\frac{1}{6}\frac{d[H^+]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{5}\frac{d[Br^-]}{dt}

\frac{d[H^+]}{dt}=\frac{6}{5}\frac{d[Br^-]}{dt}

\frac{d[H^+]}{dt}=\frac{6}{5}\times (1.81M/s)

\frac{d[H^+]}{dt}=2.17M/s

Thus, the average rate of consumption of H^+ during the same time interval is, 2.17 M/s
