The answer is group 1A.

In the ionic compound formula X₂SO₄, SO₄ has a -2 charge. Hence to balance this -2 charge of SO₄, X must have a +1 charge.

Group 1A elements form X⁺ type of ions because they are metals. So, they have the tendency to lose electrons.

Hence, X must belong to the 1A group.

Ionic Compounds-

Ionic compounds are formed by the electrostatic attraction between the anions and the cations.
Cations are positively charged ions that are formed due to the loss of electrons.
And the anions are negatively charged ions that are formed due to the gain of electrons.
Due to this, they have opposite charges and form bonds known as Ionic Bond.

What is the predominant intermolecular force in the liquid state of each of these compounds: ammonia (NH3), methane (CH4), and n

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

The predominant intermolecular force in the liquid state of each of these compounds:

ammonia (NH3)

methane (CH4)

and nitrogen trifluoride (NF3)

Explanation:

The types of intermolecular forces:

1.Hydrogen bonding: It is a weak electrostatic force of attraction that exists between the hydrogen atom and a highly electronegative atom like N,O,F.

2.Dipole-dipole interactions: They exist between the oppositely charged dipoles in a polar covalent molecule.

3. London dispersion forces exist between all the atoms and molecules.

NH3 ammonia consists of intermolecular H-bonding.

Methane has London dispersion forces.

Because both carbon and hydrogen has almost similar electronegativity values.

NF3 has dipole-dipole interactions due to the electronegativity variations between nitrogen and fluorine.

A 13 g sample of P4010 contains how many

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{5.5 \times 10^{22}\text{ molecules of P$_{2}$O}_{5}}$

Explanation:

You must calculate the moles of P₄O₁₀, convert to moles of P₂O₅, then convert to molecules of P₂O₅.

1. Moles of P₄O₁₀

$\text{Moles of P$_{4}$O}_{10} = \text{13 g P$_{4}$O}_{10} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol P$_{4}$O}_{10}}{\text{283.89 g P$_{4}$O}_{10}} = \text{0.0458 mol P$_{4}$O}_{10}$

2. Moles of P₂O₅

P₄O₁₀ ⟶ 2P₂O₅

The molar ratio is 2 mol P₂O₅:1 mol P₄O₁₀

$\text{Moles of P$_{2}$O}_{5} = \text{0.0458 mol P$_{4}$O}_{10} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol P$_{2}$O}_{5}}{\text{1 mol P$_{4}$O}_{10}} = \text{0.0916 mol P$_{2}$O}_{5}$

3. Molecules of P₂O₅

$\text{No. of molecules} = \text{0.0916 mol P$_{2}$O}_{5} \times \dfrac{6.022 \times 10^{23}\text{ molecules P$_{2}$O}_{5}}{\text{1 mol P$_{2}$O}_{5}}\\\\= \mathbf{5.5 \times 10^{22}}\textbf{ molecules P$_{2}$O}_{5}\\\text{There are $\large \boxed{\mathbf{5.5 \times 10^{22}}\textbf{ molecules of P$_{2}$O}_{5}}$}$

Could someone help me with this?

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Solving part-1 only

KMnO_4

Transition metal is Manganese (Mn)

Actually it's the oxidation number of Mn

Let's find how?

$\\ \tt\Rrightarrow x+1+4(-2)=0$

$\\ \tt\Rrightarrow x+1-8=0$

$\\ \tt\Rrightarrow x-7=0$

$\\ \tt\Rrightarrow x=+7$

x is the oxidation number
