This question comes with this list of answer choices:

<span>A. CO₂

B.N₂O

C.NaCl

</span><span> D.C₆H₁₂O₆
</span>

Answer: option C.NaCl

Justification.

1) When two diferent elements join together chemically they can form either a covalent bond or a ionic bond.

2) When the bonds are covalents the compound is called covalent, when the bonds are ionics the compound is called ionic.

3) To predict whether the compound is ionic or covalent, you must see the electronegativities of the elements.

4) Ionic compounds require the formation of ions, a posititve ion and a negative ion. The positive ion is formed when the element loses one or more electrons. The negative ion is formed when the element gains one or more electrons.

Then, in the formation of a ionic compound it is implicit the exchange of electrons (one element gains the electrons that the other lose) and this is possible, when the difference in electronegativities are high enough.

5) So, you must look at the electronegativities to make your prediction. In the given options, the compounds of the options A, B and D are between non-metals. Then, you can predict that their electronegativities are not as much differet as to form ions. They will form covalent bonds.


6) Being sodium and chloride a metal and non-metal, you can expect that their electronegativities differ quite enough to form the ionic bond (this is not true for any pair of non-metal and metal elements, but being them the only pair of metal - non metal elements, this is the only option).

This leads to the conclusion that the NaCl formula shows an ionic compound, and is the answer.

Which substance is the reducing agent in this reaction? 2KMnO4+3Na2SO3+H2O→2MnO2+3Na2SO4+2KOH
LuckyWell [14K]
2KMnO4+3Na2SO3+H2O→2MnO2+3Na2SO4+2KOH
In a reaction, the reducing agent is the element or compound that donates electron or the one tht loses electrons. The oxidized species. The opposite is called the oxidizing agent. It is the one who accepts the electrons lost. For this reaction KMnO4 is reduced into MnO2.

(58 g)/ (4L) reduce units to one
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer is 14.5 g L⁻¹.

<em>Explanation;</em>

Here, the question says reduce the units as one.

The presented units are g/L. To reduce the units to one, what we can do is take L to the upper side.

This can be done according to the rules of indices;

1 / aˣ = a⁻ˣ

Like that, we can write 1 / L as L⁻¹.

Hence, the reduced unit is g L⁻¹.

But remember to keep a space between when writing two different units.

Actually, this is an unit for density.
