State and explain the trend in electron affinity shown by halogens

1 answer:

6 0

<h3>As fluorine sits atop chlorine in the periodic table, most people expect it to have the highest electron affinity, but this is not the case. ... Therefore, chlorine has a higher electron affinity than fluorine, and this orbital structure causes it to have the highest electron affinity of all of the elements.</h3>

How do seismologists, or scientists who study earthquakes, know that the largest known earthquake to hit the region occurred aro

denis23 [38]

Answer:

By looking at the amount of time between the P and S wave on a seismographs recorded on a seismograph, scientists can tell how far away the earthquake was from that location. However, they can't tell in what direction from the seismograph the earthquake was, only how far away it was.

How many formula units are there in 450 g of Na2S04?

Mashutka [201]

Formula units in 450 g of $Na_{2} So_{4}$ is 1.93 × 10²⁴ formula units.

<u>Explanation:</u>

First we have to find the number of moles in the given mass by dividing the mass by its molar mass as,

$$\frac{450 g}{142.04 g/mol} = 3.2 moles$

Now, we have to multiply the number of moles of Na₂SO₄ by the Avogadro's number, 6.022 × 10²³ formula units/mol, so we will get the number of formula units present in the given mass of the compound.

3.2 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ = 1.93 × 10²⁴ formula units.

So, 1.93 × 10²⁴ formula units is present in 450g of Na₂SO₄.

The compound dioxane, which is used as a solvent in various industrial processes is composed of C,H, and O atoms. Combustion of

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

The correct formula of dioxane is C₄H₈O₂.

Explanation:

Given data:

mass of dioxane= 2.23 g

mass of water = 1.802 g

mass of carbon dioxide = 4.401 g

molar mass of dioxane = 88.1 g / mol

Molecular formula of dioxane = ?

Solution:

percentage of carbon = (4.401 g/2.23 g ) × (12 /44) × 100

= (1.98 × 0.273) × 100 = 54.1

percentage of hydrogen = (1.802 g/ 2.23 g) × (2.016 /18.016) × 100

= (0.81 × 0.112) × 100 = 9.072

percentage of oxygen = 100 - (54.1 + 9.072)

= 100 - 63.172 = 36.828

Now we will determine the number of grams atoms of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.

No. of gram atoms of carbon = 54.1 /12 = 4.51

No. of gram atoms of hydrogen = 9.072 / 1.008 = 9

No. of gram atoms of oxygen = 36.828 / 16 = 2.302

Atomic ratio:

C :H :O 4.51/ 2.302 : 9 / 2.302 : 2.302 /2.302

C :H :O 2 : 4 : 1

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula = n × (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

empirical formula mass= 2 × 12 + 4 × 1.008 + 1 × 16

empirical formula mass= 24+ 4.032 +16 = 44.032

n = 88.1 / 44.032 = 2

Molecular formula = n × (empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 2 × (C₂H₄O)

Molecular formula = C₄H₈O₂
