(a) The nature of bond between A and B is an ionic bond.

(b) The two main properties of the ionic compounds are:

Ionic Compounds have high boiling and melting points as they're very strong and require a lot of energy to break.
The electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions lead to the formation of ions.

<h3>What is an ionic compound?</h3>

Ionic compounds contain ions and are held together by the attractive forces among the oppositely charged ions.

An ionic bond is formed by the complete transfer of some electrons from one atom to another. The atom losing one or more electrons becomes a cation—a positively charged ion.

In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.

When ionic compounds dissolve in water, the ions in the solid separate and disperse uniformly throughout the solution.

Is the haber process for the industrial synthesis of ammonia spontaneous or nonspontaneous under standard conditions at 25 ∘c? n

Ostrovityanka [42]

The industrial synthesis of ammonia is spontaneous.

to to prove this one calculate the gibbs free energy(delta G)

= delta G = Delta H -T delta s

delta H = -92.2 kj in joules -92.2 x1000 =-92200j
delta s = -199j/k
T= 25+273= 298k

delta G is therefore= -92200-298(-199)=-32898j
since delta G is negative the reaction is therefore spontaneous

2. Condensation appears on a water glass, did this water just appear? Explain.

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

When water vapor in the air comes into contact with something cool, such as the outside of a cold glass of water, its molecules slow down and get closer together. When that happens, the gaseous water vapor turns back into liquid water droplets. That's condensation.

Calculate the number of carbon atoms in 25.0 grams of isopropyl alcohol (c3h8o)

allochka39001 [22]

First, let's determine the number of moles of carbon atoms by using molar mass. Then, using Avogadro's number, we can find the number of C atoms:
*1 mole of C3H8O= (12.0x3)+(1.0x8)+(16.0x1) = 60.0g/mol

25.0 grams C3H8O x (1 mole C3H8O/60.0 grams) = 0.417 mol

0.417mol C3H8O has (3 x 0.417 moles) C atoms = 1.251 moles C atoms

1.251 moles C atoms x(6.022x10^23 atoms/mol) = 9.42x10^23 C atoms.

The answer is in 3 significant figures, as that's what we have in the given, and we matched it with our rounding of the atomic masses from the periodic table.
You can do this all in one equation written left to right, just exclude the intermediate answers. Just easier to show it this way on the computer screen.
