Answer: There is a single covalent bond in a chlorine molecule.

Explanation: The chlorine molecule is represented as Cl−Cl, i.e. C

l2. Between the chlorine atoms, 2 electrons overlap to form a region of high electron density to which the positively charged chlorine nuclei are attracted, such that internuclear repulsion is negated and a net attractive force results. Because the bonding electrons are shared between the nuclei, we conceive that each atom has 8 valence electrons.

Of course, on reaction with sodium, the sodium reduces the chlorine molecule to give 2×Cl−. The resultant bond between Na+ and Cl−is ionic and a non-molecular substance results.

Answer:

Part 1: C₉H₂₀ (l) + 14O₂ (g) ----> 9CO₂ (g) + 10H₂0 (g)

Part 2: Volume of CO₂ produced = 1223.21 L

<em>Note: the complete second part of the question is given below:</em>

<em>2. Suppose 0.470 kg of nonane are burned in air at a pressure of exactly 1 atm and a temperature of 17.0 °C. Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas that is produced. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.</em>

Explanation:

Part 1: Balanced chemical equation

C₉H₂₀ (l) + 14O₂ (g) ----> 9CO₂ (g) + 10H₂0 (g)

Part 2: volume of carbon dioxide produced

From the equation of the reaction;

At s.t.p., I mole of C₉H₂₀ reacts with 14 moles of O₂ to produce 9 moles of CO₂

molar mass of C₉H₂₀ = 128g/mol: molar mass of CO₂ = 44 g/mol, molar volume of gas at s.t.p. = 22.4 L

Therefore, 128 g of C₉H₂₀ produces 14 * 22.4 L of CO₂ i.e. 313.6 L of CO₂.

O.470 Kg of nonane = 470 g of nonane

470 g of C₉H₂₀ will produce 470 * (313.6/128) L of CO₂ = 1151.50 L of CO₂

Volume of CO₂ gas produced at 1 atm and 17 °C;

Using P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

V₂ = P₁V₁T₂/P₂T₁

where P₁ = 1 atm, V₁ = 1151.50 L, T₁ = 273 K, P₂ = 1 atm, T₂ = 17 + 273 = 290 K

Substituting the values; V₂ = (1 * 1151.5 * 290)/(1 * 273)

Therefore volume of CO₂ produced, V₂ = 1223.21 L of CO₂

The weight of the body in the air is .... the weight of the submerged body

stira [4]

Answer:

the correct answer is option 'b': More than

Explanation:

The 2 situations are represented in the attached figures below

When an object is placed in air it is acted upon by force of gravity of earth which is measured as weight of the object.

While as when any object is submerged partially or completely in any fluid the fluid exerts a force in upward direction and this force is known as force of buoyancy and it's magnitude is given by Archimedes law as equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces, hence the effective force in the downward direction direction thus the apparent weight of the object in water decreases.
