Why does oxygen have a higher electronegativity compared to chlorine?

Chemistry

bezimeni [28]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The  electronegativity   of fluorine  compare  to the  electronegativity   of oxygen and chlorine as below

Explanation:

Fluorine  has the highest electronegativity than oxygen, and  chlorine.

 Explanation

Generally  the  electronegativity  increase   across the period ( from the left to the right)  and  decreases down  the group.

Both oxygen and fluorine  are in period 2   in  periodic   table. since  fluorine is on  fur  right side as compared to oxygen , fluorine has higher  electronegativity than  oxygen.

On the  other side  Fluorine  and  chlorine are  in the same group in periodic table. fluorine  is at  the top of  the group  while chlorine  is at  the bottom therefore fluorine has  higher electronegativity  than chlorine.

Calculate the number of calories needed to increase the temperature of 50.0 g of copper metal from 21.0 degrees C to 75.0 degree
KonstantinChe [14]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

1031.4 Calories.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

Mass of the copper metal = 50.0 g

Initial temperature = 21.0 °C

Final temperature, = 75°C

Change in temperature = 54°C

Specific heat capacity of copper = 0.382 Cal/g°C

We are required to calculate the amount of heat in calories required to raise the temperature of the copper metal;

Quantity of heat is given by the formula,

Q = Mass × specific heat capacity × change in temperature

   = 50.0 g × 0.382 Cal/g°C × 54 °C

   = 1031.4 Calories

Thus, the amount of heat energy required is 1031.4 Calories.
