Answer:

The correct option here is the first option

Explanation:

Covalent bond is the bond that involves the sharing of electrons between the participating atoms. The electrons (in the outermost shells of the atoms) that are involved this sharing are called the "shared pair" while those electrons (in the outermost shells of the atoms) that are not involved in this sharing are called the "lone pair". Bonding eventually leads to each of the participating atoms achieving it's octet configuration.

Carbon will bind covalently with fluorine (to form carbon tetrafluoride) with each of the electrons on the outermost shell of the carbon been shared covalently with fluorine atoms (that also requires just one electron to achieve it's octet configuration). Thus, at the end, we would have one carbon atom being covalently linked to four flourine atoms.

Hydrophobic molecules (like oil) tend to self-associate in water rather than dissolve. What is the MAJOR energetic contribution

anyanavicka [17]

Answer: The MAJOR energetic contribution to this property is the self association that maximizes the entropy of the water molecules.

Explanation:

Hydrophobic molecules (like oil) tend to self-associate in water rather than dissolve in it. The MAJOR energetic contribution to this property is the self association of this oil which increases the degree of disorderliness of the water molecules.

The pressure on a 200 milliliter sample of CO2 (g) at constant temperature is increased from

balu736 [363]

The answer for the following problem is mentioned below.

Therefore the final volume of the gas is 100 ml.

Explanation:

Given:

Initial pressure ( $P_{1}$ ) = 600 mm of Hg

Final pressure ( $P_{2}$ ) = 1200 mm of Hg

Initial volume ( $V_{1}$ ) = 200 ml

To find:

Final volume ( $V_{2}$ )

We know;

According to the ideal gas equation,

P × V = n × R × T

Where;

P represents the pressure of the gas

V represents the volume of the gas

n represents the no of moles of the gas

R represents the universal gas constant

T represents the temperature of the gas

So,

From the above mentioned equation,

P × V = constant

$\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} }$ = $\frac{V_{1} }{V_{2} }$

Where,

( $P_{1}$ ) represents the initial pressure of the gas

( $P_{2}$ ) represents the final pressure of the gas

( $V_{1}$ ) represents the initial volume of the gas

( $V_{2}$ ) represents the final volume of the gas

So;

$\frac{600}{1200}$ = $\frac{V_{2} }{200}$

$V_{2}$ = 100 ml

Therefore the final volume of the gas is 100 ml.

When a student chemist transferred the metal to the calorimeter, some water splashed out of the calorimeter. will this technique

Natalka [10]

Answer:

It will be reported too low.

Explanation:

To measure the specific heat of the metal (s), the calorimeter may be used. In it, the metal will exchange heat with the water, and they will reach thermal equilibrium. Because it can be considered an isolated system (there're aren't dissipations) the total amount of heat (lost by metal + gained by water) must be 0.

Qmetal + Qwater = 0

Qmetal = -Qwater

The heat is the mass multiplied by the specific heat multiplied by the temperature change. If c is the specific heat of the water:

m_metal*s*ΔT_metal = - m_water *c*ΔT_water

s = -m_water *c*ΔT_water / m_metal*ΔT_metal

So, if m_water is now less than it was supposed to be, s will be reported too low, because they are directly proportional.
