C. A covalent bond between sodiume and fluorine.
D. An ionic bond between hydrogen and fluorine.
DE. A covalent bond between hydrogen and fluorine.
DE A covalent bond between hydrogen and oxygen

Answers

Answer: The correct options are A and E

Explanation:

A chemical reaction is defined as the reaction in which two or more chemical substances react to form two or more different chemical substances.

A new substance (product) is formed in a chemical reaction when the bonds between the reactants are broken so that the new bonds between the products can be formed.

For a given chemical reaction:

[tex]HF+NaOH\rightarrow NaF+H_2O[/tex]

Here,

HF is a covalent compound as sharing of electrons take place between hydrogen and fluorine atom

NaOH is an ionic compound as a complete transfer of electrons occurs from sodium to hydroxide.

Thus, to form the products, an ionic bond between sodium and hydroxide must be broken coupled with a covalent bond between hydrogen and fluorine.

Hence, the correct options are A and E

pH= -0.4771, poH= 14.4771

d. [Ca(OH)2] = 0.0031M
[OH-]= 2X0.0031
[OH-] = 0.0062M

PoH= - log[OH-]
=-log(0.0062)
=-log(6.2x10-3)
=-(-2.21)
= 2.21
PH=14-poH
=14-2.21
=11.79
POH=2.21, PH= 11.79

Based on the molarity of the solutions;

For 0.200 M HCl; pH = 0.699, pOH = 13.301For 0.0143 M NaOH; pOH = 1.845, pH = 12.16For 3.0 M HNO3; pH = -0.4771, poH = 14.4771For 0.0031 M Ca(OH)2; pOH = 2.21, pH = 11.79

What pHand pOH?

pH is the negative logarithm to base ten of the hydrogen ions concentration of a solution.

pH = -log[H+]

pOH is the negative logarithm to base ten of the hydroxide ions concentration.

pOH = -log[OH-]

Also;

pH + pOH = 14

For HCl:

pH = -log [H3O+]

pH =-log (0.200)

pH = 0.699

Then;

poH= 14-0.699

pOH = 13.301

For NaOH:

pOH= -log [OH-]

= -log (0.0143)

pOH = 1.845

Then;

pH= 14-poH

= 14- 1.845

pH = 12.16

For HNO3:

pH= -log[H3O+]

=-log(3.0)

= -0.4771

Then;

pOH = 14-9-0.4771

pOH = 14.4771

For [Ca(OH)2]

molarity = 0.0031M

2 moles of OH- are produced

[OH-]= 2 × 0.0031

[OH-] = 0.0062M

pOH = - log[OH-]

=-log(0.0062)

=-log(6.2x10-3)

Read the selection from the section "Molecules In Motion." The molecules in the hot soup are traveling faster overall than they did before the soup was heated. Conversely, the molecules in an ice cube are moving more slowly. Why did the author use the word "conversely"?

Answers

Answer: The author used the word "conversely" because the first statement he made is in CONTRAST to the second statement he made.

Explanation:

Matter is made up of atoms or molecules that are in constant motion. The motion of these tiny particles ( molecules) gives the object energy. The movement of these molecules depends on the state of matter which includes

--> GASEOUS STATE: Here, the particles are completely free to move and are always in motion.

--> LIQUID STATE: particles in this state slide by one another and are always in motion.

--> SOLID STATE: particles in this state are held tightly together but are always in motion.

Also, the molecules in motion are greatly affected by temperature changes. Increase in temperature will cause the particles in the liquid to move faster. Such is seen when soup is heated, the molecules travel faster than before. But the OPPOSITE is seen in an ice cube. This is because the ice cube is in solid state and of a lower temperature.

Answer:

Vaporization

Since the question does not specify what molecule is being acted upon by the increment in temperature, I'll assume it's water.

When first taken out of the fridge, water is in the form of ice, and it has not been affected by a change in temperature yet, so it's at the origin.

(origin = ice)

As you raise the temperature, however, the ice starts to melt, and melting occur during phase 2. You have to keep the temperature constant for the process to properly occur.

(phase 2 = melting)

After it finishes melting, the ice is now in it's liquid state, which is water. The temperature continues to rise in order to proceed to the next phase.

(2nd slope = water)

Lastly, Water is being vaporized during phase 4. Notice, the temperature is kept constant in order to allow the process to properly occur.

The reaction below is performed with 10.0 g of Al and 19.0 g of O2. How many grams of aluminum oxide will be made? 4 Al (s) + 3 O2 (g) → 2 Al2O3 (s)

Answers

Answer:

18.89 g of Al₂O₃.

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

4Al + 3O₂ —> 2Al₂O₃

Next, we shall determine the masses of Al and O₂ that reacted and the mass of Al₂O₃ produced from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of Al = 27 g/mol

Mass of Al from the balanced equation = 4 × 27 = 108 g

Molar mass of O₂ = 16 × 2 = 32 g/mol

Mass of O₂ from the balanced = 3 × 32

= 96 g

Molar mass of Al₂O₃ = (27×2) + (16×3)

= 54 + 48

= 102 g/mol

Mass of Al₂O₃ from the balanced equation = 2 × 102 = 204 g

SUMMARY:

From the balanced equation above,

108 g of Al reacted with 96 g of O₂ to produce 204 g of Al₂O₃.

Next, we shall determine the limiting reactant. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

108 g of Al reacted with 96 g of O₂.

Therefore, 10 g of Al will react with

= (10 × 96)/108 = 8.89 g of O₂.

From the calculation made above, we can see clearly that only 8.89 g out of 19 g of O₂ given, reacted completely with 10 g of Al.

Therefore, Al is the limiting reactant and O₂ is the excess reactant.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of aluminium oxide, Al₂O₃, produced from the reaction.

NOTE: in this case, the limiting reactant will be used because it will give the maximum mass of the aluminium oxide, Al₂O₃ as all of it is consumed in the reaction.

Al is the limiting reactant and the mass of aluminium oxide, Al₂O₃ produced can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

108 g of Al reacted to produce 204 g of Al₂O₃.

Therefore, 10 g of Al will react to produce = (10 × 204)/108 = 18.89 g of Al₂O₃.

Thus, 18.89 g of Al₂O₃ were obtained from the reaction.

In a sample of oxygen gas at room temperature, the average kinetic energy of all the balls stays constant. Which postulate of kinetic molecular theory best explains
how this is possible?
Attractive forces between gas particles are negligible because the particles of an ideal gas are moving so quickly
O Collisions between gas particles are elastic, there is no net gain or loss of kinetic energy
Gases consist of a large number of small particles, with a lot of space between the particles
O Gas particles are in constant, random motion, and higher kinetic energy means faster movement

Answers

answer:Collisions between gas particlCollisions between gas particles or collisions with the vessel walls are perfectly elastic.

explanation:As long as an ideal gas is maintained at a constant temperature, the average kinetic energy of the molecules is said to be constant. In fact, what we call the temperature of a body at the macroscopic scale is just a representation of the kinetic energy carried by its atoms or molecules as they vibrate inside the body.

Now, if the kinetic energy of this oxygen gas is constant, it is because the collisions between the particles are assumed to be perfectly elastic. No energy is lost during the collisions. The rationale behind this assumption is that the particles are very tiny.

The answer which corresponds best to the explanation above is b. Collisions between gas particles are elastic; there is no net gain or loss of kinetic energy.

What volume of water is needed to make up a 6.00% (m/v) solution of copper (II) sulphate when 12.0 g of it will be added to water?

Answers

Answer:

200 mL of water is needed to make up a 6.00% (m/v) solution of copper (II) sulphate when 12.0 g of it will be added to water.

Explanation:

The solution is the result of the mixture between the solute, which is the substance that dissolves, and the solvent, which is the substance in which a solute dissolves. That is, a solution (or solution) is a mixture of two or more components, perfectly homogeneous since each component is intimately mixed with the other.

The concentration of solutions is the amount of solute contained in a given amount of solvent or solution. A unit of concentration is the percent weight to volume.

The percent weight to volume is the percentage ratio between the weight of the solute and the volume of the solution. It is calculated as:

[tex]Percent =\frac{mass of solute}{volume of solution} *100[/tex]

Mass is measured in grams, while volume is measured in mL.

In this case:

Percent weight to volume= 6%mass of solute= 12 gvolue of solution= ?

Replacing:

[tex]6=\frac{12 g}{volume of solution} *100[/tex]

Solving:

volume of solution*6= 12 g*100

[tex]volume of solution=\frac{12 g}{6} *100[/tex]

volume of solution= 200 mL

200 mL of water is needed to make up a 6.00% (m/v) solution of copper (II) sulphate when 12.0 g of it will be added to water
