Answer:
The answer to your question is C₂HO₃
Explanation:
Data
Hydrogen = 3.25%
Carbon = 19.36%
Oxygen = 77.39%
Process
1.- Write the percent as grams
Hydrogen = 3.25 g
Carbon = 19.36 g
Oxygen = 77.39 g
2.- Convert the grams to moles
1 g of H ----------------- 1 mol
3,25 g of H ------------- x
x = (3.25 x 1) / 1
x = 3.25 moles
12 g of C ---------------- 1 mol
19.36 g of C ---------- x
x = (19.36 x 1) / 12
x = 1.61 moles
16g of O --------------- 1 mol
77.39 g of O --------- x
x = (77.39 x 1)/16
x = 4.83
3.- Divide by the lowest number of moles
Carbon = 3.25/1.61 = 2
Hydrogen = 1.61/1.61 = 1
Oxygen = 4.83/1.61 = 3
4.- Write the empirical formula
C₂HO₃
To know this you pretty much do have to kind of memorize a few electronegativities. I don't recall ever getting a table of electronegativities on an exam.
From the structure, you have:
I remember the following electronegativities most because they are fairly patterned:
EN
H
=
2.1
EN
C
=
2.5
EN
N
=
3.0
EN
O
=
3.5
EN
F
=
4.0
EN
Cl
=
3.5
Notice how carbon through fluorine go in increments of
~
0.5
. I believe Pauling made it that way when he determined electronegativities in the '30s.
Δ
EN
C
−
Cl
=
1.0
Δ
EN
C
−
H
=
0.4
Δ
EN
C
−
C
=
0.0
Δ
EN
C
−
O
=
1.0
Δ
EN
O
−
H
=
1.4
So naturally, with the greatest electronegativity difference of
4.0
−
2.5
=
1.5
, the
C
−
F
bond is most polar, i.e. that bond's electron distribution is the most drawn towards the more electronegative compound as compared to the rest.
When the electron distribution is polarized and drawn towards a more electronegative atom, the less electronegative atom has to move inwards because its nucleus was previously favorably attracted to the electrons from the other atom.
That means generally, the greater the electronegativity difference between two atoms is, the shorter you can expect the bond to be, insofar as the electronegative atom is the same size as another comparable electronegative atom.
However, examining actual data, we would see that on average, in conditions without other bond polarizations occuring:
r
C
−
Cl
≈
177 pm
r
C
−
C
≈
154 pm
r
C
−
O
≈
143 pm
r
C
−
F
≈
135 pm
r
C
−
H
≈
109 pm
r
O
−
H
≈
96 pm
So it is not necessarily the least electronegativity difference that gives the longest bond.
Therefore, you cannot simply consider electronegativity. Examining the radii of the atoms, you should notice that chlorine is the biggest atom in the compound.
r
Cl
≈
79 pm
r
C
≈
70 pm
r
H
≈
53 pm
r
O
≈
60 pm
So assuming the answer is truly
C
−
C
, what would have to hold true is that:
The
C
−
F
bond polarization makes the carbon more electropositive (which is true).
The now more electropositive carbon wishes to attract bonding pairs from chlorine closer, thereby shortening the
C
−
Cl
bond, and potentially the
C
−
H
bond (which is probably true).
The shortening of the
C
−
Cl
bond is somehow enough to be shorter than the
C
−
C
bond (this is debatable).
Answer:
a. The second run will be faster.
d. The second run has twice the surface area.
Explanation:
The rate of a reaction is proportional to the surface area of a catalyst. Given the volume (V) of a sphere, we can find its surface area (A) using the following expression.
The area of the 10.0 cm³-sphere is:
The area of each 1.25 cm³-sphere is:
The total area of the 8 1.25cm³-spheres is 8 × 5.61 cm² = 44.9 cm²
The ratio of 8 1.25cm³-sphere to 10.0 cm³-sphere is 44.9 cm²/22.4 cm² = 2.00
Since the surface area is doubled, the second run will be faster.
