Which of the following compounds is not ionic?

1 answer:

5 0

The correct option is C.
An ionic compound is one which is made up of ions, which are held together by electrostatic force called ionic bonding. The compounds are usually made up of electrically charged particles, they have high melting and boiling points and they are good conduct of electricity. Ionic compounds are typically made up of metals and non metals.
Thus, CO2 is not an ionic compound, it is a covalent compound.

What's the charge on Ni in the compound NiCi3? *

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Explanation:

Chlorine is anion with a -1 charge. But they are three chlorine atoms.

-1 * 3 = -3

So they have a -3 charge.

So to balance the compound, the nickel has to be a cation with a +3 charge.

-3 + 3 = 0

Furthermore, a chemical bond always has a 0 charge. Remember that.

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

[RxN - Unbalanced] CH₄ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O

[RxN - Balanced] CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

[Given] 130 g CH₄

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Avogadro's Number

[RxN] 1 mol CH₄ → 2 mol H₂O

[PT] Molar Mass of C: 12.01 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of H: 1.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of CH₄: 12.01 + 4(1.01) = 16.05 g/mol

Step 3: Stoichiometry

[DA] Set up conversion: $\displaystyle 130 \ g \ CH_4(\frac{1 \ mol \ CH_4}{16.05 \ g \ CH_4})(\frac{2 \ mol \ H_2O}{1 \ mol \ CH_4})(\frac{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ molecules \ H_2O}{1 \ mol \ H_2O})$
[DA] Divide/Multiply [Cancel out units]: $\displaystyle 9.75526 \cdot 10^{24} \ molecules \ H_2O$
