Explanation:

When a chemical bond is formed by sharing of electrons then it is known as a covalent bond.

A covalent bond is always formed between two non-metals.

For example, atomic number of chlorine is 17 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 7.

As a result, it needs one more electron to complete its octet. So, when it chemically combines with another chlorine atom then there will occur sharing of electrons.

Hence, $Cl_{2}$ is formed which is a covalent compound.

On the other hand, when a chemical bond is formed by transfer of electrons from one atom to another then it is known as an ionic bond. An ionic bond is always formed between a metal and a non-metal.

For example, LiCl is an ionic compound.

Thus, we can conclude that in a chlorine gas covalent bonding is present when two chlorine atoms share an electron.

Explain what happens to the heat that is being added to a substance when the substance is changing phase.

<span>When a substance changes from one state, or phase, of matter to another we say that it has undergone a change of state, or we say that it has undergone a change of phase. For example, ice melts and becomes water; water evaporates and becomes water vapor.These changes of phase always occur with a change of heat. Heat, which is energy, either comes into the material during a change of phase or heat comes out of the material during this change. However, although the heat content of the material changes, the temperature does not.</span>

What is the concentration of a 0.750 l solution that contains 52.0 g of glucose (c6h12o6)?

vodka [1.7K]

Concentration of Solutions is oftenly expressed in Molarity. Molarity is the number of moles of solute dissolved per volume of solution.

Molarity = Moles / Volume
As,
Moles = Mass / M.mass
So,
Molarity = Mass / M.mass × Volume ---- (1)

Data Given;
Volume = 0.750 L

Mass = 52 g

M.mass = 180 g/mol

Putting Values in eq.1,

Molarity = 52 g ÷ (180 g.mol⁻¹ × 0.750 L)

Molarity = 0.385 mol.L⁻¹
