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.

A mixture of propane and butane is fed into a furnace where it is mixed with air. the furnace exhaust leaves the furnace at 305°

IgorLugansk [536]

In this item, I supposed, that we are determine the molar fraction of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the sample. This can be done by dividing their respective partial pressures by the total pressure of the sample.

O2 : mole fraction = (100.7 mmHg) / (763.00 mmHg) = 0.13

CO2 : mole fraction = (33.57 mmHg) / (763.00 mmHg) = 0.044

Answers: O2 = 0.13
CO2 = 0.044

When hydrogen gas reacts with oxygen gas under certain conditions to produce liquid water, 572.0 kJ of heat energy is released.

frozen [14]

Answer : This reaction is an exothermic reaction.

Explanation :

Endothermic reaction : It is defined as the chemical reaction in which the energy is absorbed from the surrounding.

In the endothermic reaction, the energy of reactant are less than the energy of product.

Exothermic reaction : It is defined as the chemical reaction in which the energy is released into the surrounding.

In the exothermic reaction, the energy of reactant are more than the energy of product.

Enthalpy of reaction : It is the difference between the energy of product and the reactant. It is represented as $\Delta H$ .

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

$H_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow H_2O(l)+572.0kJ$

From the reaction we conclude that the heat energy is released during the reaction that means this reaction is an exothermic reaction.

Hence, the reaction is an exothermic reaction.
