Answer: Halogens tend to attract electrons when bonding (Option C)
Explanation: Halogens being non metals have greater electronegativities hence, attract electrons and making the statement disputed. Nobel gases are highly stable; this explains why they are nonreactive. They do not form chemical bonds because they only have a little tendency to either gain or lose an electron; on the other hand, halogens are reactive because they only need one additional electron to complete their octet.
Answer:
C2H2O4
Explanation:
To get the molecular formula, we first get the empirical formula. This can be done by dividing the percentage compositions by the atomic masses. The percentage compositions are shown as follows :
C = 26.86%
H = 2.239%
O = 100 - ( 26.86 + 2.239) = 70.901%
We then proceed to divide by their atomic masses. Atomic mass of carbon is 12 a.m.u , H = 1 a.m.u , O = 16 a.m.u
The division is as follows:
C = 26.86/12 = 2.2383
H = 2.239/1 = 2.239
O = 70.901/16 = 4.4313
We now divide each by the smallest number I.e 2.2383
C = 2.2383/2.2383 = 1
H = 2.239/2.2383 = 1
O = 4.4313/2.2383 = 1.98 = 2
Thus, the empirical formula is CHO2.
To get the molecular formula, we use the molar mass .
(CHO2)n = 90
We add the atomic masses multiplied by n.
(12 + 1 + 2(16))n = 90
45n = 90
n = 90/45 = 2.
Thus , the molecular formula is C2H2O4
P1: 741 mmHg
V1: 3.49 L P1 x V1 / P2= (741 mmHg) (3.49 L) / 760 mmHg = 3.40 L
P2: 760 mmHg
V2: ? L
Answer:
C. the relative number of atoms of each element, using the lowest whole ratio.
Explanation:
The empirical formula is how we simplify the whole formula to simplify it to its smallest indivisible parts.
It is definitely not the actual number of atoms. If you see an empirical formula, don't think that it's the full thing.
It is also not a representation of a compound to show its atoms' arrangement: this would be a Lewis dot structure, or a ball and stick model, or something similar. We don't use the empirical formula for this purpose.
Answer:
The total pressure is 27.8 atm
Explanation:
From the ideal gas equation,
PV = nRT
P (total pressure) = nRT/V
n (total moles of gases) = (6/1 moles of hydrogen) + (15.2/14 moles of nitrogen) + (16.8/4 moles of helium) = 6+1.1+4.2 = 11.3 moles
R = 0.082057L.atm/gmol.K, T = 27°C = 27+273K = 300K, V = 10L
P = 11.3×0.082057×300/10 = 27.8 atm
