Answer: Electronegativity increases as the size of an atom decrease.
Explanation: Electronegativity is the measure of the ability of an atom in a bond to attract electrons to itself.
Electronegativity increases across a period and decreases down a group.
Towards the left of the table, valence shells are less than half full, so these atoms (metals) tend
to lose electrons and have low electronegativity. Towards the right of the table, valence shells are more than half full, so these atoms (nonmetals) tend to gain electrons and have high electronegativity.
Down a group, the number of energy levels (n) increases, and so does the distance between the nucleus and the outermost orbital. The increased distance and the increased shielding weaken the nuclear attraction, and so an atom can’t attract electrons as strongly.
Answer:
a. AlCl is incorrect because Al has a +3 charge while Cl only has a -1 charge. The correct formula would be AlCl₃. This balances the charges.
b. Na₃SO₄ is incorrect because Na has a charge of +1 and there are three of them so its +3 and SO₄ has a charge of -2. The correct formula would be Na₂SO₄. This balances the charges.
c. BaOH₂ is incorrect because the polyatomic ion OH would not be written that way. It would be written like this Ba(OH)₂. Writing it like BaOH₂ gives the impression that instead of having 2 OH it has 2 H and 1 O.
d. Fe₂O is incorrect because Fe either has a +2 charge or +3 charge while O has a -2 charge. Possible correct answers could be FeO (iron (II) oxide) or Fe₂O₃ (iron (III) oxide).
From the equation, we can see that the molar ratio between hydrogen and oxygen is:
2 : 1
Next, we determine the moles of hydrogen and oxygen that are actually present using:
moles = mass / Mr
Hydrogen:
moles = 4 / 2 = 2
Oxygen:
10/32 = 0.3125
Therefore, it is evident that the moles of oxygen present, 0.3125, are less than those that are required for 2 moles of hydrogen, which is 1. This makes oxygen the limiting reactant, which is the one that limits the completion of a reaction.
<span>renewable resources are used primarily to produce electricity include wind and hydro-electric power. they require large mechanical structures e.g. wind turbine and water dam in order to generate electric energy. Therefore they are not appropriate for home use.
</span><span>renewable resources are readily used as heat sources for homes include solar-water heating system in which water is heated by sunlight and circulated around the house. Wood burning for heat can also be considered a renewable resource as long as the wood comes from a sustainable logging cycle.</span>
Answer:
The proportionality constant ( Henry’s constant) = 2.32 * 10^-5 M/kPa
Explanation:
Here in this question, we are concerned with calculating the proportionality constant for this gas.
Mathematically, we can get this from Henry law
From Henry law;
Concentration = Henry constant * partial pressure
Thus Henry constant = concentration/partial pressure
Henry constant = 0.00290 M/125 kPa = 2.32 * 10^-5 M/kPa
