Answer: Option (3) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number of lithium is 3 and its electronic distribution is 2, 1. So, to attain stability it will loose an electron and hence, it forms a single bond.

Atomic number of chlorine is 17 and it has 7 valence electrons. Hence, in order to attain stability it will gain one electron and therefore, it forms a single bond only.

Atomic number of nitrogen is 7 and its electronic distribution is 2, 5. Therefore, to attain stability it needs to gain 3 more electrons. Hence, a nitrogen atom is able to form a triple bond and also it is able to form a double bond.

Hydrogen has atomic number 1 and it attains stability by gaining one electron. Therefore, a hydrogen atoms always forms a single bond.

Atomic number of fluorine is 9 and its electronic distribution is 2, 7. To complete its octet it needs to gain one electron. Hence, a fluorine atom always forms a single bond.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options nitrogen is most likely to form multiple (double or triple) bonds.

Answer:

0.3229 M HBr(aq)

0.08436M H₂SO₄(aq)

Explanation:

Stu Dent has finished his titration, and he comes to you for help with the calculations. He tells you that 20.00 mL of unknown concentration HBr(aq) required 18.45 mL of 0.3500 M NaOH(aq) to neutralize it, to the point where thymol blue indicator changed from pale yellow to very pale blue. Calculate the concentration (molarity) of Stu's HBr(aq) sample.

Let's consider the balanced equation for the reaction between HBr(aq) and NaOH(aq).

NaOH(aq) + HBr(aq) ⇄ NaBr(aq) + H₂O(l)

When the neutralization is complete, all the HBr present reacts with NaOH in a 1:1 molar ratio.

$18.45 \times 10^{-3} L NaOH.\frac{0.3500molNaOH}{1LNaOH} .\frac{1molHBr}{1molNaOH} .\frac{1}{20.00 \times 10^{-3} LHBr} =\frac{0.3229molHBr}{1LHBr} =0.3229M$

Kemmi Major also does a titration. She measures 25.00 mL of unknown concentration H₂SO₄(aq) and titrates it with 0.1000 M NaOH(aq). When she has added 42.18 mL of the base, her phenolphthalein indicator turns light pink. What is the concentration (molarity) of Kemmi's H₂SO₄(aq) sample?

Let's consider the balanced equation for the reaction between H₂SO₄(aq) and NaOH(aq).

2 NaOH(aq) + H₂SO₄(aq) ⇄ Na₂SO₄(aq) + 2 H₂O(l)

When the neutralization is complete, all the H₂SO₄ present reacts with NaOH in a 1:2 molar ratio.

$42.18 \times 10^{-3} LNaOH.\frac{0.1000molNaOH}{1LNaOH} .\frac{1molH_{2}SO_{4}}{2molNaOH} .\frac{1}{25.00\times 10^{-3}LH_{2}SO_{4}} =\frac{0.08436molH_{2}SO_{4}}{1LH_{2}SO_{4}} =0.08436M$

GalinKa [24]

<h3>Answer;</h3>

Exothermic chemical reaction

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

Exothermic reactions are chemical reactions where the products have less energy that the reactants.
Exothermic reactions give off energy, usually in the form of heat, while endothermic reactions absorb energy.
The combustion of propane is definitely an exothermic reaction because it generates a lot of heat.

Express the quantity 556.2 x 10^-12 in each units A.) ms B.) ns C.) ps D.) fs

zavuch27 [327]

The answer:
we should know the meaning of each abbreviation:
ms means millisecond, its value is 10^-3 s
ns means means nanosecond, its value is 10^-9 s
ps means picosecond, its value is 10^-12 s
fs means femtosecond, its value is 1x 10^15 s

Expressions of the quantity 556.2 x 10^-12 are
556.2 x 10^-12 =556.2 ps
556.2 x 10^-12 =556.2 x 10^-9 x 10^-3= 556.2 x 10^-9 ms
556.2 x 10^-12 = 556.2 x 10^-3 x 10^-9 = 556.2 x 10^-3 ns
556.2 x 10^-12 = 556.2 x 10^- 27 x 10^15 = 556.2 x 10^- 27 fs

SOVA2 [1]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

When 70.4 g of benzamide ( $C_{7}H_{7}NO$ ) are dissolved in 850 g of a certain mystery liquid X, the freezing point of the solution is $2.7^{o}C$ lower than the freezing point of pure X. On the other hand, when 70.4 g of ammonium chloride ( $NH_{4}Cl$ ) are dissolved in the same mass of X, the freezing point of the solution is $9.9^{o}C$ lower than the freezing point of pure X.
