Answer:
The group 15 elements: the pnicogens
Explanation:
The group 15 elements, nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony and bismuth, all have the general valence shell electronic configuration ns2np3. They can all exist in the +3 or +5 oxidation state, with the +3 state increasing in stability as we move vertically down the group.
Use formula: Initial Pressure x Initial Volume/Initial temperature = Final pressure x Final Volume/Final Temperature => 17.15L
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
In looking at molecules to determine whether they are polar or not we have to look at two things basically;
i) presence of polar bonds
ii) geometry of the molecule
Now, we know that CCI2F2 is a tetrahedral molecule, but the molecule is not symmetrical. It has four polar bonds that are not all the same hence the molecule is polar.
In an electric field, polar molecules orient themselves in such a way that the positive ends of the molecule are being attracted to the negative plate while the negative ends of the molecules are attracted to the positive plate.
So the positive ends of CCI2F2 are oriented towards the negative plate of the field while the negative ends of CCI2F2 are oriented towards the positive ends of the field.
Answer:
- In general, polar solutes are most soluble in highly polar solvents.
Explanation:
The general rule is "like dissolves like" which means that <em>polar solvents </em>dissolve polar (or ionic) <em>solutes</em> and <em>non-polar solvents</em> dissolve non-polar solutes.
In order for a solvent dissolve a solute, the strength of the interacttion (force) between the solute and the solvent units (atoms, molecules, or ions) must be stronger than the strength of the forces that keep together he particles of the pure substances (known as intermolecular forces).
Since the nature of the interactions between the units are electrostatic, the more polar is the solvent the better it will be able to attract and surround the solute particles, keeping them separated and in solution. That mechanism explains why polar solutes will be most soluble in highly polar solvents.
