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

Chemistry

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.

The radioactive isotope of lead, Pb-209, decays at a rate proportional to the amount present at time t and has a half-life of 3.
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Therefore it will take 7.66 hours for 80% of the lead decay.

Explanation:

The differential equation for decay is

\frac{dA}{dt}= kA

\Rightarrow \frac{dA}{A}=kdt

Integrating both sides

ln A= kt+c₁

\Rightarrow A= e^{kt+c_1}

\Rightarrow A=Ce^{kt}         [e^{c_1}=C]

The initial condition is A(0)= A₀,

\therefore A_0=Ce^{0.k}

\Rightarrow C=A_0

\therefore A=A_0e^{kt}.........(1)

Given that the Pb_{209}  has half life of 3.3 hours.

For half life A=\frac12 A_0 putting this in equation (1)

\frac12A_0=A_0e^{k\times3.3}

\Rightarrow ln(\frac12)= 3.3k     [taking ln both sides, ln \ e^a=a]

\Rightarrow k=\frac{ln \frac12}{3.3}

⇒k= - 0.21

Now A₀= 1 gram, 80%=0.8

and A= (1-0.8)A₀ = (0.2×1) gram = 0.2 gram

Now putting the value of k,A and A₀in the equation (1)

\therefore 0.2=1e^{(-0.21)\times t}

\Rightarrow e^{-0.21t}=0.2

\Rightarrow -0.21t= ln(0. 2)

\Rightarrow t= \frac{ln (0.2)}{-0.21}

⇒ t≈7.66

Therefore it will take 7.66 hours for 80% of the lead decay.

What mass of water is produced by the combustion 1.2 x 10^26 molecules of butane ?
podryga [215]

Answer:

17.934 kg of water

Explanation:

If balanced equation is not given; this format can come in handy.

For any alkane of the type : CₙH₂ₙ₊₂ , it's combustion reaction will follow:

2CₙH₂ₙ₊₂ + (3n+1) O₂  →  (2n)CO₂ + 2(n+1) H₂O

For butane:

2C₄H₁₀(g) + 13O₂(g) →  8CO₂(g) + 10H₂O(l)

2 moles of butane gives 10 moles of water.

1 mol of any substance has Avogadro number(N) of molecules in it( 6.022 x 10²³)

Mass of 1 mole of any substance is equal to it's molar mass

So, if 2 x N molecules of butane gives 10 x 18 g of water.

Then  1.2 x 10²⁶ molecules will give:

\frac{1.2 \times 10^{26} \times 180}{2 \times 6.022 \times  10^{23}}

= 17.934 x 10³ g of water

= 17.934 kg of water

A+common+iv+solution+is+0.9%+saline+(nacl+solution).+what+is+the+osmolarity+of+0.9%+saline+mosmoles/l?+the+molecular+weight+of+n
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

An osmolarity of saline solution is 308 mosmol/L.

m(NaCl) = 9 g; the mass of sodium chloride

V(solution) = 1 L; the volume of the saline solution

n(NaCl) = 9 g ÷ 58.44 g/mol

n(NaCl) = 0.155 mol; the amount of sodium chloride

number of ions = 2

Osmotic concentration (osmolarity) is a measure of how many osmoles of particles of solute it contains per liter.

The osmolarity = n(NaCl) ÷ V(solution)  × 2

The osmolarity = 0.154 mol ÷ 1 L × 2

The osmolarity = 0.154 mol/L × 1000 mmol/m × 2

The osmolarity of the saline solution = 308 mosm/L.

Is it the power of material evidence that wins, not the authority of experts that
kvasek [131]

Yes, it is the power of material evidence that wins.

  • Evidence used to support or refute a scientific theory or hypothesis is known as material evidence.
  • Evidence is also used by scientists in various contexts, such as when they apply ideas to real-world issues.
  • Whether a person accepts the data as proof depends on their presumptions or views regarding how observations relate to a theory.
  • A creative hypothesis is developed by a scientist and may be refuted by testing it against evidence or established truths.
  • Evidence can refute a hypothesis by demonstrating facts that are at odds with it. In contrast, the presence of evidence does not preclude the possibility of future, undiscovered evidence supporting the idea.

Therefore, it is the power of material evidence that wins, not the authority of experts that

proves an answer in Science.
