Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A compound formed by sharing of electrons is known as a covalent compound. Whereas a compound formed by donating electrons is known as ionic bond.

Also, it is known that an ionic or polar compound is soluble in polar solvent like water. And a non-polar compound is soluble in a non-polar solvent.

For example, sodium has 11 electrons and chlorine has 17 electrons. So sodium will donate one extra electron to chlorine in order to complete their octet. Hence, it will result in the formation of an ionic compound.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement it is made up of ions that are held together by ionic bonds, is true.

Answer:

  • The process of "slaking" of lime refers to the use of excess water for hydration. balanced equation: CaO + H₂0 = Ca(OH)₂ + heat released

  • First lets know which oxide is quick lime - CaO, is basic in nature as a result it combines with acidic oxides using heat. For example we are gonna make it react with silicon dioxide which is a very weak acid: CaO + SiO₂ → CaSiO₃

The combustion of gasoline produces carbon dioxide and water. Assume gasoline to be pure octane (C8H18) and calculate the mass (
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

3.1 kg

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced combustion equation

C₈H₁₈ + 12.5 O₂ ⇒ 8 CO₂ + 9 H₂O

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 1.0 kg of C₈H₁₈.

The molar mass of C₈H₁₈ is 114.23 g/mol.

1.0 × 10³ g × 1 mol/114.23 g = 8.8 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of CO₂ produced from 8.8 moles of C₈H₁₈

The molar ratio of C₈H₁₈ to CO₂ is 1:8. The moles of CO₂ produced are 8/1 × 8.8 mol = 70 mol.

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 70 moles of CO₂

The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01 g/mol.

70 mol × 44.01 g/mol = 3.1 × 10³ g = 3.1 kg
