The correct answer is statement 3, the difference in electronegativity between carbon and oxygen is greater than that between fluorine and oxygen. The most polar bond is the one with the highest difference in electronegativity values between two atoms. In this case, the C-O bond.

Answer: (3) The difference in electronegativity between  carbon and oxygen is greater than that  between fluorine and oxygen.

Explanation: Polarity of a molecule is due to the difference in electronegativity of the atoms. More is the electronegativity difference, more is the polarity.

Electronegativity of carbon = 2.5

Electronegativity of oxygen = 3.5

Electronegativity of fluorine = 4.0

Thus the difference in electronegativity of carbon and oxygen is=(3.5-2.5)= 1.0

Thus the difference in electronegativity of fluorine and oxygen is=(4.0-3.5)= 0.5.

Thus C-O bond is more polar than F-O bond.

How many moles of O are in 2.45 moles of H2CO3?​
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

7.35 moles of oxygen

Explanation:

First of all, for 1 mole of H₂CO₃ we have 3 moles of oxygen (can be deduced from the chemical formula of the acid), then the moles of oxygen in 2.45 mole of the compound, which are given in the question, from the carbonic acid will be:  

If in        1 mole of H₂CO₃ we have 3 moles of oxygen

The in    2.45 moles of H₂CO₃ we have X moles of oxygen

X = ( 3 × 2.45 ) / 1 = 7.35 moles of oxygen

The ph of a solution that contains 0.818 m acetic acid (ka = 1.76 x 10-5) and 0.172 m sodium acetate is __________.
crimeas [40]
PH is calculated using <span>Handerson- Hasselbalch equation,

                                      pH  =  pKa  +  log [conjugate base] / [acid]

Conjugate Base  =  Acetate (CH</span>₃COO⁻)
Acid                    =  Acetic acid (CH₃COOH)
So,
                                      pH  =  pKa  +  log [acetate] / [acetic acid]

We are having conc. of acid and acetate but missing with pKa,
pKa is calculated as,

                                     pKa  =  -log Ka
Putting value of Ka,
                                     pKa  =  -log 1.76 × 10⁻⁵

                                     pKa  =  4.75
Now,
Putting all values in eq. 1,
                     
                                     pH  =  4.75 + log [0.172] / [0.818]

                                     pH  =  4.072

3 ways of improving the quality of an indigenous soap
Monica [59]

Answer : Below are three ways described in brief for improving the quality of indigenous soap.

1) Add virgin coconut oil which serves as a softener and betel leaf extract. It is used to improve the quality of soap as an antimicrobial agent.

2) Add activated charcoal black granules or powder to the soap, it removes maximum dirt from the skin.

3) Adding a filler which will increase the shelf life of usage of the soap will also improve its quality.

14) The central iodine atom in the ICl4- ion has __________ nonbonded electron pairs and __________ bonded electron pairs in its
masha68 [24]

Answer:

Two non bonded electron pairs and four bonded electron pairs

Explanation:

An image of the compound as obtained from chemlibretext is attached to this answer.

The ion ICl4- ion, is an AX4E2 ion. This implies that there are four bond pairs and two lone pairs of electrons. As expected, the shape of the ion is square planar since the lone pairs are found above and below the plane of the square. This is clear from the image attached.

Why are the concentrations of [H3O+] and [OH−] equal in pure water?
kotegsom [21]

Answer : The correct option is, (A) [H_3O^+]=[OH^-] because one of each is produced every time an [H^+] transfers from one water molecule to another.

Explanation :

As we know that, when the two water molecule combine to produced hydronium ion and hydroxide ion.

The balanced reaction will be:

HOH+HOH\rightarrow H_3O^++OH^-

Acid : It is a substance that donates hydrogen ion when dissolved in water.

Base : It is a substance that accepts hydrogen ion when dissolved in water.

From this we conclude that, the hydrogen ion are transferred from one water molecule to the another water molecule to form hydronium ion and hydroxide ion. In this reaction, one water molecule will act as a base and another water molecule will act as an acid.

Hence, the correct option is, (A)
