<span>The answer is anions. Cations are positively-charged ions (in this case K+) while anions are negatively-charged ions (in this case Cl-). The ions attract each other  through electrostatic charges and arrange themselves in an ordered fashion to form a lattice</span>

Explanation:

A bond formed due to the transfer of electrons is known as an ionic bond.

For example, KCl is an ionic compound and due to the difference in electronegativity potassium has partial positive charge and chlorine have partial negative charge.

Also, it is known that opposite charges attract each other. So, cations have positive charge and anions have negative charge.

Thus, we can conclude that the reason salt crystals, such as kcl, hold together so well is because the cations are strongly attracted to anions.

Calculate the initial rate for the formation of C at 25 ∘C, if [A]=0.50M and [B]=0.075M.Express your answer to two significant f
N76 [4]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Calculate the initial rate for the formation of C at 25°C, if [A]=0.50 M and [B]=0.075 M. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.Consider the reaction

A + 2B ⇔ C

whose rate at 25°C was measured using three different sets of initial concentrations as listed in the following table:

The table is attached below as an image.

<u>Answer:</u> The initial rate for the formation of C at 25°C is 2.25\times 10^{-2}Ms^{-1}

<u>Explanation:</u>

Rate law is defined as the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in terms of molar concentration of the reactants with each term raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficient of that reactant in the balanced chemical equation.

For the given chemical equation:

A+2B\rightleftharpoons C

Rate law expression for the reaction:

\text{Rate}=k[A]^a[B]^b

where,

a = order with respect to A

b = order with respect to B

  • Expression for rate law for first trial:

5.4\times 10^{-3}=k(0.30)^a(0.050)^b ....(1)

  • Expression for rate law for second trial:

1.1\times 10^{-2}=k(0.30)^a(0.100)^b ....(2)

  • Expression for rate law for third trial:

2.2\times 10^{-2}=k(0.50)^a(0.050)^b ....(3)

Dividing 2 by 1, we get:

\frac{1.1\times 10^{-2}}{5.4\times 10^{-3}}=\frac{(0.30)^a(1.00)^b}{(0.30)^a(0.050)^b}\\\\2=2^b\\b=1

Dividing 3 by 1, we get:

\frac{2.2\times 10^{-2}}{5.4\times 10^{-3}}=\frac{(0.50)^a(0.050)^b}{(0.30)^a(0.050)^b}\\\\4.07=2^a\\a=2

Thus, the rate law becomes:

\text{Rate}=k[A]^2[B]^1       ......(4)

Now, calculating the value of 'k' by using any expression.

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

5.4\times 10^{-3}=k[0.30]^2[0.050]^1\\\\k=1.2M^{-2}s^{-1}

Calculating the initial rate of formation of C by using equation 4, we get:

k=1.2M^{-2}s^{-1}

[A] = 0.50 M

[B] = 0.075 M

Putting values in equation 4, we get:

\text{Rate}=1.2\times (0.50)^2\times (0.075)^1\\\\\text{Rate}=2.25\times 10^{-2}Ms^{-1}

Hence, the initial rate for the formation of C at 25°C is 2.25\times 10^{-2}Ms^{-1}

What would happen to the annual rates of limestone (CaCO3) precipitation in the ocean if the ocean water were to become much war
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

CaCO3 exoskeleton dissolves in acidic water

Explanation:

The increasing CO2 level makes the ocean water acidic and hence reduces the pH. In such acidic environment, marine organism that produce calcium carbonate shells or skeletons are negatively affected. Coral reefs and coralline algae abilities to produce skeleton also reduces.  

Calcium carbonate dissolves in acid. Thus, the more acidic the ocean water is the faster and easier it is to dissolve the exoskeleton and shell of marine organisms made up of calcium carbonate
