Concept explainers

The attractive force which has the ability of holding various constituent elements like atoms, ions, molecules, etc. together in different chemical species is termed as a chemical bond. Chemical compounds are dependent on the strength of chemical bonds b…

Polarizability In Organic Chemistry

Polarizability refers to the ability of an atom/molecule to distort the electron cloud of neighboring species towards itself and the process of distortion of electron cloud is known as polarization.

Coordinate Covalent Bonds

A coordinate covalent bond is also known as a dative bond, which is a type of covalent bond. It is formed between two atoms, where the two electrons required to form the bond come from the same atom resulting in a semi-polar bond. The study of coordinate…

2. Platinum and other group 10 metals often act as solid phase hydrogenation catalysts for unsaturated hydrocarbons such as propylene, CH3CHCH2. In order for the reaction to be catalyzed the propylene molecules must first adsorb onto the surface. In order to completely cover the surface of a piece of platinum that has an area of 1.50 cm² with propylene, a total of 3.45 x 10¹7 molecules are needed. Determine the mass of the propylene molecules that have been absorbed onto the platinum surface.

Chem 141, Dr. Haefner 2. (a) Many main group oxides form acidic solutions when added to water. For example solid tetraphosphorous decaoxide reacts with water to produce phosphoric acid. Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. (b) Calcium phosphate reacts with silicon dioxide and carbon graphite at elevated temperatures to produce white phosphorous (P4) as a gas along with calcium silicate (Silcate ion is SiO3²-) and carbon monoxide. Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction.
