Answer:

The correct option is;

4 percent ionic, 96 percent covalent, 222 pm

Explanation:

The parameters given are;

Phosphorus:

Atomic radius = 109 pm

Covalent radius = 106 pm

Ionic radius = 212 pm

Electronegativity of phosphorus = 2.19  

Selenium:

Atomic radius = 122 pm

Covalent radius = 116 pm

Ionic radius = 198 pm

Electronegativity of selenium= 2.55  

The percentage ionic character of the chemical bond between phosphorus and selenium is given by the relation;

Using Pauling's alternative electronegativity difference method, we have;

\% \, Ionic \ Character = \left [18\times (\bigtriangleup E.N.)^{1.4}  \right ] \%

Where:

Δ E.N. = Change in electronegativity = 2.55 - 2.19 = 0.36

Therefore;

\% \, Ionic \ Character = \left [18\times (0.36)^{1.4}  \right ] \% = 4.3 \%

Hence the percentage ionic character = 4.3% ≈ 4%

the percentage covalent character = (100 - 4.3)% = 95.7% ≈ 96%

The bond length for the covalent bond is found adding the covalent radii of both atoms as follows;

The bond length for the covalent bond = 106 pm + 116 pm = 222 pm.

The correct option is therefore, 4 percent ionic, 96 percent covalent, 222 pm.

Purification of nickel can be achieved by electrorefining nickel from an impure nickel anode onto a pure nickel cathode in an el
Alexxandr [17]

Answer: 530 hours

Explanation:

The reduction of Nickel ions to nickel is shown as:

Ni^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Ni

96500\times 2=193000Coloumb of electricity deposits 1 mole of Nickel

1 mole of Nickel weighs = 58.7 g

Given quantity = 18.0 kg = 18000 g  (1kg=1000g)

58.7 g of Nickel is deposited by 193000 C of electricity

18000 g of Nickel is deposited by = \frac{193000}{58.7}\times 18000=59182282.8C of electricity

Q=I\times t

where Q= quantity of electricity in coloumbs  = 59182282.8C

I = current in amperes = 31.0 A

t= time in seconds = ?

59182282.8C=31.0A\times t

t=1909105.9sec

(1h=3600 sec)

t=530hours

Thus 530 hours are required to plate 18.0 kg of nickel onto the cathode if the current passed through the cell is held constant at 31.0 A

what is the  concentration of a NaCl solution, in Molarity, if you add 59.76 g of NaCl into 270 mL of H2O
enot [183]

Hey there!

Molar mass NaCl = 58.44 g/mol

Number of moles

n =  mass of solute / molar mass

n = 59.76 / 58.44

n = 1.0225 moles of NaCl

Volume in liters:

270 mL / 1000 => 0.27 L

Therefore:

M = number of moles / volume ( L )

M = 1.0225 / 0.27

= 3.78 M

Hope that helps!

He following balanced equation shows the formation of water. 2H2 + O2 mc020-1.jpg 2H2O How many moles of oxygen (O2) are require
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer : The correct option is, 13.7 mole

Solution : Given,

Moles of H_2 = 27.4 moles

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O

From the balanced chemical reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 moles of H_2 react with 1 moles of O_2

So, 27.4 moles of H_2 react with \frac{27.4}{2}=13.7 moles of O_2

Therefore, the number of moles of oxygen O_2 required are, 13.7 moles
