Answer:

SF2 > H2O > PBr3 > NCl3

Explanation:

Compare the electronegativity values for the atoms and classify the nature of the bonding based on the electronegativity difference.

P has an electronegativity of 2.1, while Br has an electronegativity of 2.96. The difference is 0.86, indicating that these atoms will form covalent bonds.

S has an electronegativity of 2.58 while F has an electronegativity of 4.0. The difference is 1.42, indicating that these atoms will form polar covalent bonds.

O has an electronegativity of 3.5 while H has an electronegativity of 2.1. The difference is 1.4, indicating that these atoms will form polar covalent bonds.

N has an electronegativity of 3.04, whereas Cl has an electronegativity of 3.5. This difference of 0.46 indicates that these atoms will form covalent bonds.

We know that the greater the electronegativity, the higher the polarity. In decreasing order of polarity, we have:

SF2 > H2O > PBr3 > NCl3

A motorist discovers that her auto tire measures 29.2 psi rather than the recommended 35 psi. If the tire’s volume is assumed co
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

  0.20 moles

Explanation:

The pressure is proportional to the quantity of gas at a given temperature and volume. So, the quantity needs to be increased by a factor of ...

  (35 psi)/(29.2 psi) = 175/146 ≈ 1.19863

The fractional increase required is ...

  1.19863 -1 = 0.19863

__

The quantity of air currently in the tire is ...

  1 mol·519.67°R/(atm·23.6442 L) × (29.2/14.7 atm) × (11.6 L) / (45+459.67)°R

  = 1.0035 mol

so we need to add ...

  (fraction to add) × (current quantity) = amount to add

  0.19863 × 1.0035 mol = 0.1993 mol = amount to add

About 0.20 moles of air must be added to the tire to bring the pressure up.
