Why is sodium chloride not considered a molecular compound? What kind of compound is it?

Chemistry
1 answer:
e-lub [12.9K]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Something like table salt (NaCl) is a compound because it is made from more than one kind of element (sodium and chlorine), but it is not a molecule because the bond that holds NaCl together is an ionic bond. If you like, you can say that sodium chloride is an ionic compound.

On the basis of the Ksp values below, what is the order of the solubility from least soluble to most soluble for these compounds
Viktor [21]

Answer:

The order of solubility is AgBr <   Ag₂CO₃ < AgCl

Explanation:

The solubility constant give us the molar solubilty of ionic compounds. In general for a compound AB the ksp will be given by:

Ksp = (A) (B) where A and B are the molar solubilities = s²  (for compounds with 1:1  ratio).

It follows then  that the higher the value of Ksp the greater solubilty of the compound if we are comparing compounds with the same ionic ratios:

Comparing AgBr: Ksp = 5.4 x 10⁻¹³ with AgCl: Ksp = 1.8 x 10⁻¹⁰, AgCl will be more soluble.

Comparing Ag2CO3: Ksp = 8.0 x 10⁻¹²  with AgCl Ksp = AgCl: Ksp = 1.8 x 10⁻¹⁰ we have the complication of  the ratio of ions 2:1 in Ag2CO3,  so the answer is not obvious. But since we know that

Ag2CO3 ⇄ 2 Ag⁺ + CO₃²₋

Ksp Ag2CO3  = 2s x s = 2 s² =  8.0 x 10-12

s = 4 x 10⁻12 ∴ s= 2 x 10⁻⁶

And for AgCl

AgCl  ⇄ Ag⁺ + Cl⁻

Ksp = s² = 1.8 x 10⁻¹⁰  ∴ s = √ 1.8 x 10⁻¹⁰   = 1.3 x 10⁻⁵

Therefore, AgCl is more soluble than Ag₂CO₃

The order of solubility is AgBr <   Ag₂CO₃ < AgCl

What mass in grams of SO2 is needed to react with 37.50 mol of Oz?
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

4804.5 g of SO₂ are needed to the reaction

Explanation:

The reaction to produce sulfuric acid is:

2SO₂ + O₂ + 2H₂O →  2H₂SO₄

Ratio is 1:2. 1 mol of oxygen needs 2 moles of sulfur dioxide in order to react. We can propose this rule of three.

If 1 mol of O₂ react to 2 moles of SO₂

Then, 37.50 moles of O₂ will react with (37.5 . 2) /1 = 75 moles of SO₂

We convert the moles to mass, to know the answer:

75 mol . 64.06 g / 1 mol = 4804.5 g of SO₂
