Answer: Electronegativity increases across a period.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is defined as ability of an atom to attract shared pair of electrons in a bond toward itself.

Electronegativity increases across the period because when we move across the period from left to right numbers of protons and electrons are increased. By increase in number of protons ,nuclear charge also increases due to which electrons present in an atom are strongly attracted towards the nucleus. And due to presence of strong nuclear charge shared pair of electrons in a bond are also attracted towards nucleus of an electronegative atom.

I believe the answer would be A. Electronegativity increases across a period.

Which is the limiting reagent in the following reaction given that you start with 15.5 g of Na2S and 12.1 g CuSO4? Reaction: Na2

NemiM [27]

Answer:

CuSO4

Explanation:

Na2S + CuSO4 → Na2SO4 + CuS

The reaction is balanced (same number of elements in each side)

To determine limiting reagent you need to know the moles you have of each.

Molar mass Na2S = 23 * 2 + 32 = 78

Molar mass CuSO4 = 63.5 + 32 + 16 * 4 = 159.5

Na2S mole = 15.5 / 78 = 0.2

CuSO4 mole = 12.1/159.5 = 0.076

*Remember mole = mass / MM

With that information now you have to divide each moles by its respective stoichiometric coefficient

Na2S stoichiometric coefficient : 1

Na2S : 0.2 / 1 = 0.2

CuSO4 stoichiometric coefficient: 1

CuSO4: 0.076 / 1 = 0.076

The smaller number between them its the limiting reagent, CuSO4

1. A sample of polystyrene is found to have a number-average molar mass of 89,440 g mol−1 . Neglecting contributions from end gr

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

The weight-average molar mass of polystyrene is 134,160 g/mol.

Explanation:

Molar mass of the monomer styrene , $C_8H_8$ , M=104 g/mol

Given , number average molar mass of the polymer , M'= 89,440 g/mol

Degree of polymerization = n

$n=\frac{M'}{M}=\frac{89,440 g/mol}{104 g/mol}=860$

The weight-average molar mass = $M_{avg}=?$

Molar mass dispersity is ratio of weight-average molar mass to the number average molar mass of the polymer.

$\text{Molar mass dispersity}=\frac{M_{avg}}{M'}$

$1.5=\frac{M_{avg}}{89,440 g/mol}$

$M_{avg}=89,440 g/mol\times 1.5 = 134,160 g/mol$

The weight-average molar mass of polystyrene is 134,160 g/mol.
