Answer:

ionic

Explanation:

Ionic bonds exist between Ca and F ions in CaF₂. Ionic bonds are interatomic bonds formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to the other.

The donor atom here is Ca and it has two valence electrons. Fluorine is the receiving atom with 7 electrons in its outermost shell.

Ca would give one each of its two outermost electrons to the fluorine atoms to complete their octet. Ca ion would now resemble Argon and the flourine atoms would look more like Neon atoms.

This is an ionic bond

Calculate the ph of sweater which has a hydrogen ion concentration of 1 times 10 to the power of 8

telo118 [61]

Answer:

The pH of the sweater containing Hydrogen ion concentration

$[H^{+}]=1\times 10^{-8}$ is

8

Explanation:

pH = It is the negative logarithm of activity (concentration) of hydrogen ions.

pH = -log([H+])

Now, In the question the concentration of [H+] ions is :

$[H^{+}]=1\times 10^{-8}$

$pH = -log(1\times 10^{-8})$

use the relation:

$log(10^{-a})=a$

$pH= -(-8)$

pH = 8

Note : 1 times 10 to the power of 8 must be" 1 times 10 to the power of -8"

If the concentration is

$[H^{+}]=1\times 10^{8}$

Then pH = -8 , which is not possible . So in that case the pH calculation is by other method

Which one of the following will change the value of an equilibrium constant?

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

(E) changing temperature

Explanation:

Consider the following reversible balanced reaction:

aA+bB⇋cC+dD

If we know the molar concentrations of each of the reaction species, we can find the value of Kc using the relationship:

Kc = ([C]^c * [D]^d) / ([A]^a * [B]^b)

where:

[C] and [D] are the concentrations of the products in the equilibrium; [A] and [B] reagent concentrations in equilibrium; already; b; c and d are the stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced equation. Concentrations are commonly expressed in molarity, which has units of moles / 1

There are some important things to remember when calculating Kc:

- Kc is a constant for a specific reaction at a specific temperature. If you change the reaction temperature, then Kc also changes

- Pure solids and liquids, including solvents, are not considered for equilibrium expression.

- The reaction must be balanced with the written coefficients as the minimum possible integer value in order to obtain the correct value of Kc

A mouse is placed in a sealed chamber with air at 769.0 torr. This chamber is equipped with enough solid KOH to absorb any CO2 a

svlad2 [7]

Answer: The amount of oxygen gas consumed by mouse is 0.202 grams.

Explanation:

We are given:

Initial pressure of air = 769.0 torr

Final pressure of air = 717.1 torr

Pressure of oxygen = Pressure decreased = Initial pressure - Final pressure = (769.0 - 717.1) torr = 51.9 torr

To calculate the amount of oxygen gas consumed, we use the equation given by ideal gas which follows:

$PV=nRT$

where,

P = pressure of the gas = 51.9 torr

V = Volume of the gas = 2.20 L

T = Temperature of the gas = 292 K

R = Gas constant = $62.364\text{ L. Torr }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

n = number of moles of oxygen gas = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$51.9torr\times 2.20L=n\times 62.364\text{ L. Torr }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 292K\\\\n=\frac{51.9\times 2.20}{62.364\times 292}=0.0063mol$

To calculate the mass from given number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Moles of oxygen gas = 0.0063 moles

Molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.0063mol=\frac{\text{Mass of oxygen gas}}{32g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of oxygen gas}=(0.0063mol\times 32g/mol)=0.202g$

Hence, the amount of oxygen gas consumed by mouse is 0.202 grams.
