Answer:
Explanation:
Take a random sample of nuts from the jar. Let's take two handfuls, after shaking the jar and mixing the nuts thoroughly. Separate the nuts into almonds and cashews. Count each pile, then do the following calculation (these numbers are random, for example only).
<u> Count</u> <u>Percentage %</u>
Almonds 38 (38)/(87)x100
Cashews <u> 49</u> 49/87x100
87 87/87 = 100%
Ratio of Almonds to Cashews: <u>38/49</u>
Altitude. Rainfall, a hot dry day, and a hurricane are all examples of weather, not climate.
To know this you pretty much do have to kind of memorize a few electronegativities. I don't recall ever getting a table of electronegativities on an exam.
From the structure, you have:
I remember the following electronegativities most because they are fairly patterned:
EN
H
=
2.1
EN
C
=
2.5
EN
N
=
3.0
EN
O
=
3.5
EN
F
=
4.0
EN
Cl
=
3.5
Notice how carbon through fluorine go in increments of
~
0.5
. I believe Pauling made it that way when he determined electronegativities in the '30s.
Δ
EN
C
−
Cl
=
1.0
Δ
EN
C
−
H
=
0.4
Δ
EN
C
−
C
=
0.0
Δ
EN
C
−
O
=
1.0
Δ
EN
O
−
H
=
1.4
So naturally, with the greatest electronegativity difference of
4.0
−
2.5
=
1.5
, the
C
−
F
bond is most polar, i.e. that bond's electron distribution is the most drawn towards the more electronegative compound as compared to the rest.
When the electron distribution is polarized and drawn towards a more electronegative atom, the less electronegative atom has to move inwards because its nucleus was previously favorably attracted to the electrons from the other atom.
That means generally, the greater the electronegativity difference between two atoms is, the shorter you can expect the bond to be, insofar as the electronegative atom is the same size as another comparable electronegative atom.
However, examining actual data, we would see that on average, in conditions without other bond polarizations occuring:
r
C
−
Cl
≈
177 pm
r
C
−
C
≈
154 pm
r
C
−
O
≈
143 pm
r
C
−
F
≈
135 pm
r
C
−
H
≈
109 pm
r
O
−
H
≈
96 pm
So it is not necessarily the least electronegativity difference that gives the longest bond.
Therefore, you cannot simply consider electronegativity. Examining the radii of the atoms, you should notice that chlorine is the biggest atom in the compound.
r
Cl
≈
79 pm
r
C
≈
70 pm
r
H
≈
53 pm
r
O
≈
60 pm
So assuming the answer is truly
C
−
C
, what would have to hold true is that:
The
C
−
F
bond polarization makes the carbon more electropositive (which is true).
The now more electropositive carbon wishes to attract bonding pairs from chlorine closer, thereby shortening the
C
−
Cl
bond, and potentially the
C
−
H
bond (which is probably true).
The shortening of the
C
−
Cl
bond is somehow enough to be shorter than the
C
−
C
bond (this is debatable).
Answer:
THE VOLUME OF 0.200M CALCIUM HYDROXIDE NEEDED TO NEUTRALIZE 35 mL of 0.050 M NITRIC ACID IS 43.75 mL.
Explanation:
Using
Ca VA / Cb Vb = Na / Nb
Ca = 0.0500 M
Va = 35 mL
Cb = 0.0200 M
Vb = unknown
Na = 2
Nb = 1
Equation for the reaction:
Ca(OH)2 + 2HNO3 --------> Ca(NO3)2 + 2H2O
So therefore, we make Vb the subject of the equation and solve for it
Vb = Ca Va Nb / Cb Na
Vb = 0.0500 * 35 * 1 / 0.0200 * 2
Vb = 1.75 / 0.04
Vb = 43.75 mL
The volume of 0.02M calcium hydroxide required to neutralize 35 mL of 0.05 M nitric acid is 43.75 mL
