Answer:

Explanation:

Among the halogens given in this problem, iodine has the lowest attraction for electrons.

This property is known as electronegativity.

Electronegativity is expressed as the relative tendency with which the atoms of the element attracts valence electrons in a chemical bond.

As you go down the periodic group the electronegativity decreases.
The most electronegative element on the periodic table is fluorine.
Down the group, iodine is the least electronegative
This is due to the large size of its atom.

Where would the temperature of the ocean's surface water be the lowest?

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C, areas with a high salinity

Explanation:

The higher the density of the ocean water, the lower will be the temperature. The highly saline ocean water thus exists in the polar regions than the tropic regions. Due to high density the cold water seeps down and thus it further becomes cooler while a low density ocean water remains at the surface and possess additional heat

How many molecules of oxygen are produced when a sample of 38.9 g of water is decomposed by electricity?

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

A) $6.5\times 10^{23}\ \text{molecules}$

Explanation:

m = Mass of water = 38.9

M = Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

$N_A$ = Avogadro's number = $6.022\times 10^{23}\ \text{mol}^{-1}$

The reaction of electrolysis would be

$2H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2H_2(g)+O_2(g)$

Number of moles of $H_2O$

$n=\dfrac{m}{M}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{38.9}{18}\ \text{mol}$

From the reaction it can be seen that 2 moles of $H_2O$ gives 1 mole of $O_2$

So, number of moles of $O_2$ produced is

$\dfrac{38.9}{18}\times \dfrac{1}{2}=1.081\ \text{mol}$

Number of molecules

$1.081N_A=1.081\times 6.022\times 10^{23}\\ =6.5\times 10^{23}$

So, $6.5\times 10^{23}\ \text{molecules}$ of oxygen is produced.

Complete and balance the molecular equation, including phases, for the reaction of aqueous sodium sulfate, Na2SO4, and aqueous b

expeople1 [14]

The complete chemical reaction of aqueous Sodium sulfate and aqueous Barium nitrate is

$Na_{2} SO_{4} (aq) + Ba(NO_3)_2(aq) -\ \textgreater \ BaSO_4(s) + 2NaNO_3(aq)$

The right side and the left side of the reaction have equal number of elements, therefore it is balanced.
