Earth is the right distance from the sun. It’s protected from harmful solar radiation by its magnetic field and the atmosphere keeps it warm. Earth contains the right chemical ingredients to sustain life such as H2O (water) and C (carbon)

Consider the molecules: scl2, f2, cs2, cf4, and brcl. select the choice where the bonds of the molecules are arranged in order o

elena-s [515]

The polarity of a bond depends on the difference in electronegativities of the atoms involved in bonding. Greater this difference, greater is the polarity

1) In SCl2 we have the S-Cl bond

Electronegativity values: S = 2.5, Cl = 3

Difference = 3.0 -2.5 = 0.5

2) In F2 we have the F-F bond

Electronegativity value: F = 4.0

Difference = 4.0-4.0 = 0

3) In CS2 we have the C-S bond

Electronegativity value: C = 2.5, S = 2.5

Difference = 2.5 -2.5 = 0

4) In CF4 we have the C-F bond

Electronegativity values: C = 2.5, F = 4.0

Difference = 4.0 -2.5 = 1.5

5) In BrCl we have the Br-Cl bond

Electronegativity values: Br = 2.8, Cl = 3

Difference = 3.0 -2.8 = 0.2

Therefore, the increasing order of polarity is

F2 = CS2 < BrCl < SCl2 < CF4

Open the Balancing Chemical Equations interactive and select Introduction mode. Then choose Separate Water. Adjust the coefficie

Explanation:

1. Water decomposition

Decomposition reactions are represented by-

The general equation: AB → A + B.

Various methods used in the decomposition of water are -

Electrolysis
Photoelectrochemical water splitting
Thermal decomposition of water
Photocatalytic water splitting

Water decomposition is the chemical reaction in which water is broken down giving oxygen and hydrogen.

The chemical equation will be -

$H_2O + H_2 + O_2$

Hence, balancing the equation we need to add a coefficient of 2 in front of $H_2O$ on right-hand-side of the equation and 2 in front of $H_2$ on left-hand-side of the equation.

∴The balanced equation is -

$2 H_2O$ → $2 H_2 + O_2$

2. Formation of ammonia

The formation of ammonia is by reacting nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas.

$N_2 + H$ → $NH_3$

Hence, for balancing equation we need to add a coefficient of 3 in front of hydrogen and 2 in front of ammonia.

∴The balanced chemical equation for the formation of ammonia gas is as follows -

$N_2+3H$ → $2NH_3$ .

When 6 moles of $N_2$ react with 6 moles of $H_2$ 4 moles of ammonia are produced.

when acceleration is held constant and objects of different mass are observed,are mass and force directly proportional or invers

svetoff [14.1K]

Yes. When two things are directly prortional, that means that as one increases, the other increases at the same rate. So, say you have a 2kg object at an acceleration of 2m/s^2. The force would be 4N. If you have a 3kg object at an acceleration of 2m/s^2, the force would be 6N. If two things are inversely proportional, that means that as one thing increases the other decreases at the same rate. A good example of this is in a chemical reaction. If you increase the surface area of the reactants, the reaction time decreases. They are inversely proportional.

Which of the following represents the greatest number of atoms?

forsale [732]

The correct option is B. To get the number of atom for each compound, each element in the compound will be counted as an atom. For instance, for Fe[ClO4]2, there are 1 atom of Fe, 2 atoms of Cl, and 8 atoms of O, making a total of 11 atoms [1 + 2 + 8= 11]. The other options have less than 11 atoms.
