Is CaO a molecular compound?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Svetllana [295]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

It's a Ionic compound

Explanation:

To tell if CaO (Calcium oxide) is ionic or covalent (also called molecular) we look at the Periodic Table that and see that Ca is a metal and O is a non-metal. When we have a metal and a non-metal the compound is usually considered ionic.

Because we have a metal and non-metal in CaO there will be a difference in electronegativity between the metal and non-metal. This difference results in an electron(s) being transferred from the metal (lower electronegativity) to the non-metal (higher electronegativity). The results in the metal becoming a postitive ion and the non-metal a negative ion. The two opposite charges are attracted and form the ionic bond between atoms in Calcium oxide.

What is the change in internal energy ( ΔU ) of the system if q = –8 kJ and w = –1 kJ for a certain process?
Radda [10]

Answer:

Change in internal energy (ΔU) = -9 KJ

Explanation:

Given:

q = –8 kJ [Heat removed]

w = –1 kJ [Work done]

Find:

Change in internal energy (ΔU)

Computation:

Change in internal energy (ΔU) = q + w

Change in internal energy (ΔU) = -8 KJ + (-1 KJ)

Change in internal energy (ΔU) = -8 KJ - 1 KJ

Change in internal energy (ΔU) = -9 KJ

What is the limiting reactant when 19.9 g CuO react with 2.02 g H2?
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

use the equation

moles = mass/mr

=19.9/79.5

=0.250moles of CuO

then do the same for

H = 2.02/1

=2.02

so CuO is the limiting reagent because there is less amount of it.

Hope this helps  :)
