<h3>1.<u> Answer;</u></h3>

False

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Bases have some of the following properties;

They have a bitter taste
They have a slimy, or soapy feel on fingers

Most bases react with acids and precipitate salts.
Strong bases may react violently with acids.

Bases turn red litmus paper blue

<h3>2. <u>Answer;</u></h3>

An acid

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

When acids are dissolved in water, the concentration of the acid decreases and it becomes dilute.
It dissociates in water to give H+ ions or hydrogen ions.
All acidic solutions contain more hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions, therefore when added to water it increases the concentration of H+ ions in water, as water is a neutral substance whose concentration of H+ ions is equal to OH-.

What is the molarity of 0.65 mol NaF dissolved in a total volume of 0.50 liters?

arsen [322]

Answer:

1.3 M

Explanation:

The question asks to calculate the molarity of a solution.

We have to use the following equitation:

Molarity = # moles / 1 lt of solution

In this case we have a solution composed of 0.65 mol of NaF diluted in a total volume of 0.5 lt. We will have to do the following cross multiplication solving for x:

0.65 mol NaF / 0.5 lt = x mol NaF/ 1 lt

x = 1.3 mol NaF / 1 lt = 1.3 M

When magnesium combines with sulfur to form magnesium sulfide, it is oxidized to Mg2+. Which statement is true about this reacti

Vlad1618 [11]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

B. It involves loss of electrons.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Oxidation occurs when electrons are lost by an atom while reduction refers to the gain of electrons by an atom.
<u><em>In this case, magnesium atom reacts with sulfur to form magnesium sulfide by loosing two electrons and forming magnesium ion (Mg2+). Therefore magnesium undergoes oxidation.</em></u>
Sulfur, on the other hand will gain electrons to form Sulfide ions, therefore it undergoes reduction.
Therefore;<em><u> In magnesium sulfide (MgS), magnesium loses two electrons and becomes a cation with a positive-two charge. Likewise, sulfur obtains the two electrons lost from magnesium and becomes an anion with a negative-two charge. However, the overall charge of MgS is zero.</u></em>

A certain alcohol contains only three elements, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Combustion of a 60.00 gram sample of the alcohol p

marin [14]

Answer:

$C_2H_6O$

Explanation:

The first step is the <u>calculation of the moles</u> of $H_2O$ and $CO_2$ , so:

$114.6~g~CO_2\frac{1~mol~CO_2}{44~g~CO_2}=2.6~mol~of~CO_2$

$70.44~g~H_2O\frac{1~mol~H_2O}{18~g~H_2O}=~3.9~mol~H_2O$

Now, in 1 mol of CO2 we have 1 mol of C and in 1 mol of $H_2O$ we have 1 mol of H. Additionally, if we want to calculate the moles of oxygen we need to <u>calculate the grams of C and O</u> and then do the <u>substraction</u> form the initial amount, so:

$2.6~mol~CO_2\frac{1~mol~C}{1~mol~CO_2}\frac{12~g~C}{1~mol~C}=31.25~g~of~C$

$3.9~mol~H_2O\frac{2~mol~H}{1~mol~H_2O}\frac{1~g~H}{1~mol~H}=7.82~g~of~H$

$Total~grams=~31.25~+~7.82=39.08~g$

$grams~of~O=60.00~g-~39.08~g=20.92~g~of~O$

Now we can <u>convert the grams</u> of O to moles, so:

$20.92~g~of~O\frac{1~mol~O}{16~g~O}=1.30~mol~O$

The next step is to divide all the mol values by the <u>smallest one</u>:

$O=\frac{1.30~mol~O}{1.30~mol~O}=~1$

$C=\frac{2.6~mol~C}{1.30~mol~O}=~2$

$H=\frac{7.82~mol~H}{1.30~mol~O}=6$

Therefore the formula is $C_2H_6O$

Explain what makes a covalently bonded molecule polar. Use the molecules of CH4 and CH3F as examples in your explanation.

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The magnitude of electronegativity difference between atoms in a bond determines whether that bond will be polar or not.

If the electronegativity difference between atoms in a bond is about 1.7, the bond is ionic. If the electronegativity difference is greater than 0.4 and less than 1.7, the bond will have a polar covalent character. Lastly, if the electronegativity difference between the bond is less than or equal to 0.4, the covalent bond is non polar.

The electronegativity difference between carbon and hydrogen is about 0.4 which corresponds to a nonpolar covalent bond hence the molecule is nonpolar.

The electronegativity difference between carbon and fluorine is about 1.5 indicating a highly polar bond. This gives CH3F an overall dipole moment thereby making the molecule polar.
