What semimetal can form four single covalent bonds.

Chemistry
1 answer:
lesantik [10]3 years ago
4 0

The right answer is Sillicon.

Silicon (Si) is the chemical element of atomic number 14. It is the most abundant element in the earth's crust after oxygen, or 25.7% of its mass, but it is comparatively only present in relatively small quantities in the material constituting the living.

It is a semi-metal, ie it does not meet all the criteria to be defined as being a metal.

It has four free electrons in the last orbit, so it is able to form four covalent bonds. (the carbon can form 4 covalent bonds but it is not a semi-metal)

What is the Net Ionic equation for this chemical reaction: FeBr2+Na2S=FeS+2NaBr​
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer: Fe<em>(aq)</em>+S<em>(aq)</em>=FeS<em>(s)</em>

Explanation: The Sodium and Bromine are spectator ions because they don't react with anything, you can see this by writing the ionic equation like so:

1.) Molecular formula (given): FeBr2 (aq)+Na2S (aq)= FeS(s)+2NaBr(aq)

Each dissolved FeBr2 breaks up into one Fe with a charge of 2+ and two Br with a negative charge. This gives you:

Fe(aq)+ 2Br(aq)+Na2S(aq)=FeS(s)+2NaBr

2.) Now repeat what was shown with the other compounds in the given molecular formula, and pay attention to the states that each ion is in (solid, liquid, aqueous, gas) because this will give you the ionic equation, which from there you can get rid of any ions that don't change amount or state.

3.) Ionic formula: Fe(aq)+ <u>2Br(aq)</u>+<u>2 Na(aq)</u>+S (aq)=FeS(s)+<u>2 Na(aq)+2Br(aq)</u>

4.)When you've derived a total ionic equation (above), you'll  find that some ions appear on both sides of the equation in equal numbers. For example, in this case two Na cations and two Br anions appear on both sides of the total ionic equation. What does this mean? It means these ions don't participate in the chemical reaction. They're present before and after the reaction. Nothing happens to them. So those are removed and you're left with the net ionic: Fe(aq)+S(aq)=FeS(s)

Hope this helps :)

What acids in alcohol make it evaporate
fgiga [73]

The acids found in alcohol that make it evaporate are called organic acids.

An organic acid is an organic compound that has acidic properties. There are two types: one has a carboxyl (COOH) group, and the other type has a phenol group.

The most common organic acids are those with a carboxyl group and include acetic acid, formic acid, lactic acid and all fatty acids.  Perfumes  include organic acid in their composition to make them volatile. Volatile substances evaporate easily, and this is important for perfumes. They need to dissipate easily into the surrounding environment and spread their good smell.

Describe an experiment for the preparation and collection of Oxygen sodium peroxide​
vitfil [10]

Answer:

Making oxygen

Oxygen can be made from hydrogen peroxide, which decomposes slowly to form water and oxygen:

hydrogen peroxide → water + oxygen

2H2O2(aq) → 2H2O(l) + O2(g)

The rate of reaction can be increased using a catalyst, manganese(IV) oxide. When manganese(IV) oxide is added to hydrogen peroxide, bubbles of oxygen are given off.

Apparatus arranged to measure the volume of gas in a reaction. Reaction mixture is in a flask and gas travels out through a pipe in the top and down into a trough of water. It then bubbles up through a beehive shelf into an upturned glass jar filled with water. The gas collects at the top of the jar, forcing water out into the trough below.

To make oxygen in the laboratory, hydrogen peroxide is poured into a conical flask containing some manganese(IV) oxide. The gas produced is collected in an upside-down gas jar filled with water. As the oxygen collects in the top of the gas jar, it pushes the water out.

Instead of the gas jar and water bath, a gas syringe could be used to collect the oxygen.

Which one of the following will change the value of an equilibrium constant?
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

(E) changing temperature

Explanation:

Consider the following reversible balanced reaction:

aA+bB⇋cC+dD

If we know the molar concentrations of each of the reaction species, we can find the value of Kc using the relationship:

Kc = ([C]^c * [D]^d) / ([A]^a * [B]^b)

where:

[C] and [D] are the concentrations of the products in the equilibrium; [A] and [B] reagent concentrations in equilibrium; already; b; c and d are the stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced equation. Concentrations are commonly expressed in molarity, which has units of moles / 1

There are some important things to remember when calculating Kc:

-  <em>Kc is a constant for a specific reaction at a specific temperature</em>. If you change the reaction temperature, then Kc also changes

- Pure solids and liquids, including solvents, are not considered for equilibrium expression.

- The reaction must be balanced with the written coefficients as the minimum possible integer value in order to obtain the correct value of Kc
