Which of the following equations is balanced correctly and has the correct products for the reactants RbNO3 and BeF2?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Pavel [41]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

2RbNO₃ + BeF₂ → Be(NO₃)₂ + 2RbF, because Be keeps a 2+ charge throughout the reaction

Explanation:

2RbNO₃ + BeF₂ → Be(NO₃)₂ + 2RbF, because Be keeps a 2+ charge throughout the reaction

Rb is a +1 cation, NO3 is a -1 anion, Be is a +2 cation and F is a -1 anion.

In writing an ionic compound the charge of the cation becomes the subscript of the anion and the charge of the anion becomes the subscript of the cation.  

So the ionic compound formed between Be2+ and F- is BeF2. The ionic compound formed between Be2+ and NO3- is Be(NO₃)₂.  

As there are two NO₃ on the product side it is balanced by writing a 2 coefficient before RbNO₃ on the reactant side.  

And as there are two F on the reactant side it is balanced by writing a 2 coefficient before RbF on the product side.

Which of the following pair of elements could not react to form an ionic compound
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

c and o

Explanation:

Carbon and Oxygen cannot react to form an ionic compound because the two elements are non-metals.

  • To form an ionic bond, a metal combines with a non-metal through electrostatic attraction of oppositely charged ions.
  • This leads the bond formation.
  • Carbon is a non-metal, with oxygen, they will prefer to form a covalent bond where they share their electrons

What are the similarities and differences between ionic and covalent bonds?
ohaa [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Similarities.

Both Ionic and covalents bond produce exothermic reactions.

They are both neutral.in Ionic bonds, the two opposite charge will terminate each other and in covalent, the neutral molecules tend to share electrons.

Difference

Ionic bonds have high polarity while covalent have low.

Ionic bonds have no definite shape, covalent have.

Ionic have high melting points, covalent have low.

Io ic have high boiling point, covalents have low.

Mixtures of hydrogen and oxygen in varying concentrations can be sparked to produce water. Define mixture and compound, and then
LenKa [72]

Explanation:

Mixture is the physical Combination Of two or Substance

Example

a mixture of sugar and water.

Compound is the chemical combination of two or more metals.

Example.

a mixture of hydrogen and water.

A mixture of hydrogen and oxygen forms water or H2O

whereas The dihydrogen monoxide parody involves calling water by an unfamiliar chemical name, most often "dihydrogen monoxide" (DHMO), and listing some of water's properties in a particularly alarming manner, such as accelerating corrosion (rust) and causing suffocation (drowning). The parody often calls for dihydrogen monoxide to be banned, regulated, or labeled as dangerous. It plays into chemophobia and demonstrates how a lack of scientific literacy and an exaggerated analysis can lead to misplaced fears. The parody has been used with other chemical names such as hydrogen hydroxide, dihydrogen oxide, hydroxic acid, hydric acid and oxidane.
