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

Which is stronger - the attractive forces between water molecules and chromium and chloride ions, or the combined ionic bond str
Tju [1.3M]

Answer is: the combined ionic bond strength of CrCl₂ and intermolecular forces between water molecules.

When chromium chloride (CrCl₂) is dissolved in water, the temperature of the water increases, heat of the solution is endothermic.

Dissociation of chromium chloride in water: CrCl₂(aq) → Cr²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq).

Energy (the lattice energy) is required to pull apart the oppositely charged ions in chromium chloride.

The heat of hydration is liberated energy when the separated ions (in this example chromium cations and chlorine anions) attract polar water molecules.

Because the lattice energy is higher than the heat of the hydration (endothermic reaction), we can conclude that bonds between ions are strong (the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions).

How many Joules must be removed to condense 150.0g of steam at 100.0 degrees Celsius to water at 100.0 degrees celcius
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

339kJ

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of steam  = 150g  = 0.15kg

Initial temperature of steam  = 100°C

Final temperature of water  = 100°C  

Unknown:

Quantity of heat that must be removed to condense the steam = ?

Solution:

The heat involved here is a latent heat because there is no change temperature. The process is just a phase change.

  H  = mL

m is the mass

L is the latent heat of vaporization  = 2,260 kJ/kg

Insert the parameters and solve;

 H = 0.15kg x 2,260 kJ/kg

 H  = 339kJ
