Answer:

It is an amorphous solid and hence also called pseudo solid. So it flows very slowly over thousands of years. It is not visible to the n*ked eye.

The cation of the salt is sodium ion, and the anion is aurothiosulfate ion. Based on the chemical formula of the salt, what must

marta [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sodium aurothiosulfate is a salt with the formula Na₃Au(S₂O₃)₂. The cation of the salt is sodium ion, and the anion is aurothiosulfate ion. We can determine the charge of the aurothiosulfate ion, considering that the sum of the positive and negative charges must be equal to the charge of the compound, which is zero.

3 × Na⁺ + 1 × Au(S₂O₃)₂ⁿ⁻ = 0

3 × +1 + 1 × Au(S₂O₃)₂ⁿ⁻ = 0

Au(S₂O₃)₂ⁿ⁻ = 3-

(a) calculate the %ic of the interatomic bond for the intermetallic compound tial3. (b) on the basis of this result, what type o

Mrrafil [7]

Answer :

The correct answer is %IC = 10 % and bond is covalent bond with slight polarity.

Percent Ionic Character :

It is defined as percent of ionic character present in a polar covalent bond . The formula of % ionic character (%IC) is given as follows :

$Percent Ionic character = 1 - e^-^0^.^2^5 ^*^(^X^a^-^X^b^) * 100$

Where Xa = Electronegativity of A atom and Xb = Electronegativity of B atom

Given : Molecule is TiAl₃

Electronegativity of Ti = 2.0

Electronegativity of Al = 1.6 ( From image shared )

Plug the value in above formula :

$Percent Ionic character = 1 - e^-^0^.^2^5 ^*^(^2^.^0^-^1^.^6^) * 100$

$Percent Ionic character = 1 - e^(^-^0^.^2^5 ^*^0^.^4^) * 100$

$Percent Ionic character = 1 - e^(^-^0^.^1^) * 100$

Value of e⁻¹ = 0.90

Percent ionic character = 1 - 0.90 * 100

Percent Ionic character = 10 %

Since the % IC is 10 % , which is very less comparatively , hence the bond is covalent and very less polar .

A 8.00g of a certain Compound X, known to be made of carbon, hydrogen and perhaps oxygen, and to have a molecular molar mass of

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

C3H6.

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question:

Mass of the compound = 8g

Mass of CO2 = 24.01g

Mass of H2O = 13.10g

Next, we shall determine the mass of C, H and O present in the compound. This is illustrated below:

Molar Mass of CO2 = 12 + (2x16) = 44g/mol

Molar Mass of H2O = (2x1) + 16 = 18g/mol

Mass of C in compound = Mass of C/Molar Mass of CO2 x 24.01

=> 12/44 x 24.01 = 6.5g

Mass of H in the compound = Mass of H/Molar Mass of H2O x 13.1

=> 2x1/18 x 13.1 = 1.5g

Mass of O in the compound = Mass of compound – (mass of C + Mass of H)

=> 8 – (6.5 + 1.5) = 0

Next, we shall determine the empirical formula of the compound. This is illustrated below:

C = 6.5g

H = 1.

Divide by their molar mass

C = 6.5/12 = 0.54

H = 1.4/1 = 1.

Divide by the smallest

C = 0.54/0.54 = 1

H = 1/0.54 = 2

Therefore, the empirical formula is CH2

Finally, we shall determine the molecular formula as follow:

The molecular formula of a compound is a multiple of the empirical formula.

Molecular formula = [CH2]n

[CH2]n = 44

[12 + (2x1)]n = 44

14n = 44

Divide both side by 14

n = 44/14

n = 3

Molecular formula = [CH2]n = [CH2]3 = C3H6

Therefore, the molecular formula of the compound is C3H6
