Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A bond generated after transfer of an electron from one atom to another is known as an ionic bond. And, a bond generated by sharing of electron(s) between two atoms is known as a covalent bond.

Sodium is a metal with atomic number 11 and electronic distribution 2, 8, 1. On the other hand, chlorine is a non-metal with atomic number 17 and electronic distribution 2, 8, 7.

So, in order to attain stability sodium will lose one electron and develop a positive charge as $Na^{+}$ . Whereas chlorine at the same time will take up one electron from sodium atom and acquire a negative charge as $Cl^{-}$ .

Thus, we can conclude that the statement a positively charged sodium ion and a negatively charged chlorine ion form an ionic bond.

blagie [28]

We are given that 1 teaspoon is equivalent to 5 mL, therefore 0.75 teaspoon is:

0.75 teaspoon * (5 mL / 1 teaspoon) = 3.75 mL

So the mass is density times volume:

mass = (12.5 mg/5 ml) * 3.75 mL

The normal boiling point of a liquid is 282 °C. At what temperature (in °C) would the vapor pressure be 0.500 atm? (∆Hvap = 28.5

NNADVOKAT [17]

For a normal boiling point of a liquid is 282 °C, the temperature is mathematically given as

T2=181.55°C\

<h3> What temperature (in °C) would the vapor pressure be 0.500 atm? </h3>

Generally, the equation for the gas is mathematically given as

ln(p1/p2)=dHvap/R(1/T2-1/T1)

Therefore

ln(1/0.26)=23500/8.214(1/T2-1/555)

T2=181.55^C

In conclusion

T2=181.55°C

Which of the following would require the largest volume of 0.100 M sodium hydroxide solution for neutralization?:

bazaltina [42]

Answer:10.0 mL of 0.00500 M phosphoric acid

Explanation:

If we look at the Ka values of the acids, we will realize that phosphoric acid has a Ka of 7.1 * 10-3. It is the only acid in the list having acid dissociation constant less than 1. This means that it does not ionize easily in solution and a very large volume of base must be added to ensure that it reacts completely. Acids with Ka >1 are generally regarded as strong acids. All the acids listed have Ka>1 except phosphoric acid.
