Electronegativity.
Electronegativity can be defined as the measure of affinity of the element towards electrons . Higher the affinity towards electrons higher the electronegativity.
Eg : Fluorine has a high electronegativity. This is because it has 7 valence electrons, to gain a noble gas configuration / complete outer shell it needs to gain one electron. Hence the positive nuclear charge of the nucleus will attract an electron so it can become a complete outer shell , therefore F is very reactive.
Higher the attraction of the nucleus to electrons , higher its affinity therefore higher electronegativity.

A gas mixture contains 3.00 atm of H2 and 1.00 atm of O2 in a 1.00 L vessel at 400K. If the mixture burns to form water while th
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

p_{H_2O}=2.00atm

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, according to the following chemical reaction:

2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O

It means that we need to compute the moles of hydrogen and oxygen that are reacting, via the ideal gas equation as we know the volume, pressure and temperature:

n_{H_2}=\frac{3.00atm*1.00L}{0.08206\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*400K}=0.0914molH_2 \\\\n_{O_2}=\frac{1.00atm*1.00L}{0.08206\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*400K}=0.0305molH_2

Thus, the yielded moles of water are computed by firstly identifying the limiting reactant:

n_{H_2O}^{by\ H_2} = 0.0914molH_2*\frac{2molH_2O}{2molH_2} =0.0914molH_2O\\\\n_{H_2O}^{by\ O_2} = 0.0305molO_2*\frac{2molH_2O}{1molO_2} =0.0609molH_2O

Thus, the fewest moles of water are 0.0609 mol so the limiting reactant is oxygen; in such a way, by using the ideal gas equation once again, we compute the pressure of water:

p_{H_2O}=\frac{0.0609molH_2O*0.08206\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*400K}{1.00L}\\\\ p_{H_2O}=2.00atm

Best regards!

Increasing the temperature of gas in a container that cannot expand is a way to _______. decrease the volume of the gas decrease
alex41 [277]

Answer:

Increase the pressure of the gas

Explanation:

According to the Pressure law, for a fixed mass of gas, at a constant volume (V), the pressure (P) is directly proportional to the absolute temperature (T).

From the kinetic molecular theory, gases are composed of particles which are in constant motion, colliding with themselves as well as with the walls of their container.

When the temperature of these gas molecules is increased, the molecules acquire more kinetic energy and the rate of collisions increases. Since the container cannot expand, the increase in pressure is due to the increase in collisions between the molecules of the gas as well as with the walls of their container.
