Answer:

The correct option is: A) N₂

Explanation:

The Bond length of a chemical bond is the length of a chemical bond formed between two given atoms.

Bond length is inversely proportional to the bond order of the chemical bond, which is the total number of bonds between two atoms. Thus as the bond order increases, the bond length decreases.

A) N₂: The nitrogen-nitrogen bond in dinitrogen is a triple bond (N≡N).

Thus the bond order = 3.

B) O₂: The oxygen-oxygen bond in dioxygen is a triple bond (O=O).

Thus the bond order = 2.

C) SO₂: Sulfur dioxide is a resonance stabilized molecule and its resonance hybrid shows that the sulfur-oxygen bond in sulfur dioxide is a partial double bond.

Thus the bond order = 1.5

D) SO₃: Sulfur trioxide is a resonance stabilized molecule and its resonance hybrid shows that the sulfur-oxygen bond in sulfur trioxide is a partial double bond.

Thus the bond order = 1.33

Since the bond order of N₂ is the largest, therefore, the N-N bond length is the shortest.

A sample of an ionic compound NaA, where A- is the anion of a

vitfil [10]

Answer:

a) Kb = 10^-9

b) pH = 3.02

Explanation:

a) pH 5.0 titration with a 100 mL sample containing 500 mL of 0.10 M HCl, or 0.05 moles of HCl. Therefore we have the following:

[NaA] and [A-] = 0.05/0.6 = 0.083 M

Kb = Kw/Ka = 10^-14/[H+] = 10^-14/10^-5 = 10^-9

b) For the stoichiometric point in the titration, 0.100 moles of NaA have to be found in a 1.1L solution, and this is equal to:

[A-] = [H+] = (0.1 L)*(1 M)/1.1 L = 0.091 M

pKb = 10^-9

Ka = 10^-5

HA = H+ + A-

Ka = 10^-5 = ([H+]*[A-])/[HA] = [H+]^2/(0.091 - [H+])

[H+]^2 + 10^5 * [H+] - 10^-5 * 0.091 = 0

Clearing [H+]:

[H+] = 0.00095 M

pH = -log([H+]) = -log(0.00095) = 3.02

What volume would 3.00 moles of neon gas have at 295 K and 645 mmHg?

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

V = 85.619 L

Explanation:

To solve, we can use the ideal gas law equation, PV = nRT.

P = pressure (645 mmHg)

V = volume (?)

n = amount of substance (3.00 mol)

R = ideal gas constant (62.4 L mmHg/mole K)

T = temperature (295K)

Now we would plug in the appropriate numbers into the equation using the information given and solve for V.

(645)(V) = (3.00)(62.4)(295)

(V) = (3.00)(62.4)(295)/645

V = 85.619 L
