It is known that length of a bond is inversely proportional to the bond strength. This also means that a single bond has long length due to which it is weak in nature.

And, a double bond is shorter in length and has more strength as compared to a single bond. Whereas a triple bond has the smallest length and it has high strength as compared to a double or single bond.

For example, carbon monoxide is CO where there is a triple bond between the carbon and oxygen atom.

Carbon dioxide is $CO_{2}$ where there exists a double bond between the carbon and oxygen atom.

A carbonate ion is $CO^{2-}_{3}$ when two oxygen atoms are attached through single bond with the carbon atom and another oxygen atom is attached through a double bond to the carbon atom.

Hence, we can conclude that order of increasing bond strength of the given carbon oxygen bond is as follows.

Carbonate ion < carbon dioxide < carbon monoxide

Find the number of moles of water that can be formed if you have 182 mol of hydrogen gas and 86 mol of oxygen gas.

frutty [35]

Water has a chemical formula of H2O. This means that for every 2 moles of hydrogen and 1 mole of oxygen, one mole of water will be formed.

Note that hydrogen gas and oxygen gas are both biatomic molecules.

(1) (182 mol H2) x (1 mol H2O/ 1 mol H2) = 182 mol H2O
(2) (86 mol O2) x (2 mol H2O / 1 mol O2) = 172 mol H2O

We choose the smaller number of the two as the answer to this item. Thus, the answer to this question is 172 mol of H2O can be formed out of the given quantities.
