Answer:

Cl

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the ability of an electron to attract electrons.

Now, due to the fact that halogens need just one more electron to become stable in their outermost shell, it means all halogens are electronegative.

However, the smaller the atomic number, the bigger the charge density and thus the more electronegative.

Thus, it is the halogen element with the highest atomic number further down the periodic table that will have the least electro negativity and thus require highest amount of energy to attract other electrons.

Thus, since chlorine (Cl) has the least atomic number of 17, then it means that it will be the one that will easily accept the electrons the most from other elements. Therefore the process of transferring electrons from potassium to chlorine will take the least amount of energy.

Acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) undergoes a Wolf-Kishner reaction, which is the addition of hydrazine (H2NNH2) with subsequent addition of
Anarel [89]

Answer:

Reduced, alkane

Explanation:

Wolf-Kishner reaction is a type of reduction reaction in which aldehydes and ketones are reduced to their corresponding alkane in the presence of a base.

This reaction occurs at high temperature.

Alkane formed has a same number of carbon as aldehyde and ketone.

If acetaldehyde undergoes a Wolf-Kishner reaction in the presence of base and heat, then ethane is formed. Nitrogen is formed as a byproduct.

Here, acetaldehyde is reduced to form ethane.

So, acetaldehyde undergoes a Wolf-Kishner reaction, which is the addition of hydrazine  with subsequent addition of a base and heat. In this reaction, the aldehyde is reduced, resulting in alkane product.

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

Student 3

Explanation:

This question lets us know something about how the density of a gas varies with temperature.

When a gas is heated, its molecules spread out and expand. When this happens, the volume of the gas increases. Remember that density is defined as mass/volume. Thus as the volume increases, the density of the gas decreases.

Therefore, the carbon dioxide rose up because the heat expanded the gas and it became less dense.

A sample of a compound contains 60.0 g C and 5.05 g H. It’s molar mass is 78.12 g/mol. What is the compound’s molecular formula?
Natalka [10]

Answer:

C6H6

Explanation:

C :     60.0 g*1 mol/12 .01g = 5.00 mol

H:      5.05 g * 1 mol/1.01 g= 5.10 mol

C:H = 5.00 mol : 5.10 mol = 1:1

CH is an empirical formula

Molar mass (12.01 +1.01)=13.02 g/mol

78.12g/mol /13.02 g/mol =6

Molecular formula is the empirical that was taken 6 times (CH)6 = C6H6

How many moles of co2 are produced when 35.0 mol c2h2 react completely?
Setler [38]

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

C2H2 + 3/2O2 = 2CO2 +H2O

We are given the amount of C2H2 to be burned. This will be our starting point.

<span>35.0 mol C2H2 ( 2 mol CO2/1 mol C2H2) = 70.0 mol O2</span>

<span>Therefore, the CO2 produced is 70.0 moles.</span>
