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.

27. The density of nickel is 8.91 g/cm3. How large a cube, in cm3, would contain 2.00 x 10^24 atoms of nickel? Use dimensional a
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer : The volume of the cube is, 21.88cm^3

Solution : Given,

Density of nickel = 8.91g/cm^3

Number of nickel atoms = 2\times 10^{24}

Molar mass of nickel = 58.7 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of nickel.

As, 6.022\times 10^{23} atoms form 1 mole of nickel

So, 2\times 10^{24} atoms form \frac{2\times 10^{24}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}=3.321 moles of nickel

The moles of nickel = 3.321 moles

Now we have to calculate the mass of nickel.

\text{ Mass of Ni}=\text{ Moles of Ni}\times \text{ Molar mass of Ni}

\text{ Mass of Ni}=(3.321moles)\times (58.7g/mole)=194.94g

The mass of nickel = 194.94 g

Now we have to calculate the volume of nickel.

Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}

8.91g/cm^3=\frac{194.94g}{Volume}

Volume=21.88cm^3

Therefore, the volume of the cube is, 21.88cm^3

How much power is used if a force of 54 newtons is used to pull a wagon a distance of 10 meters in 6 seconds? 3,240 W 90 W 32.4
timama [110]
Power is defined in a mathematical expression as P = F x v where F is in N and v is in m/s. From the given equation, the v = d/t which is v = 10/ 6, then substituting the answer to the power formula W = 54 N (10/6 m/s) = 90 Watts.

This equation shows a ____ refer to this summary equation of photosynthesis to complete the sentences about chemical bonds and r
coldgirl [10]

The balanced chemical equation representing the process of photosynthesis is:

6 CO_{2} +12H_{2}O-->C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}+6O_{2}

The reactants in the process of photosynthesis are CO_{2}and HH_{2}O and the products of the reaction are glucose C_{6}H_{12}O_{6} and oxygen O_{2}. Oxygen is the nonpolar covalent gas which is released in the process of photosynthesis. The reactant CO_{2} is a nonpolar covalent gas while the other reactant waterH_{2}O has polar covalent O-H bonds.

In the balanced chemical equation, the number of each type of element must be equal on both sides of the reaction.

Is potassium fluoride a covalent bond or ionic bond
Ivahew [28]

It's an ionic bond! Potassium is a cation, or a metal with a positive charge, and fluoride is an anion, or a nonmetal with a negative charge.

A covalent bond is the bond between two nonmetals.

Hope this helped!
