Answer: The correct answer is Option C.

Explanation:

A covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when sharing of electrons takes place between the atoms forming a compound. This type of bond is usually formed between two non-metals.

From the given options:

Option A: two gold atoms

Gold atom is a metal and thus, will not form covalent bond.

Option B: two neon atoms

Neon atom is a noble gas and is unreactive atom. Thus, it will not form covalent bond.

Option C: hydrogen and oxygen atoms

Both the atoms are non-metals and thus, will lead to the formation of a covalent bond.

Option D: magnesium and bromine atom

Magnesium atom is a metal and bromine atom is a non-metal. Thus, they will not lead to the formation of covalent bond but will form ionic bond.

Hence, the correct answer is Option C.

Values for the molar mass of nitrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen dioxide molecules are given in the table below. What mass of nitroge

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

A). 92.02g

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction;

N2 (g)+ 2O2(g)------> 2NO2(g)

Note that the balanced reaction equation is the first step in solving any problem on stoichiometry. Once the reaction equation is correct, the question can be easily solved.

Reaction of one mole of nitrogen gas with two moles of oxygen gas yields two moles of nitrogen dioxide.

Mass of two moles of nitrogen dioxide= 2[14 + 2(16)] = 2[14+32]= 2[46]= 92 gmol-1

Therefore; Mass of two moles of nitrogen dioxide is 92

24 g of magnesium were burned in oxygen. The compound formed had a mass of 40 g. Explain why the mass had gone up.

DIA [1.3K]

Answer :

According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of reactants must be equal to the mass of products.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$Mg+\frac{1}{2}O_2\rightarrow MgO$

As we know that the molar mass of magnesium is 24 g/mole, the molar mass of $O_2$ is 32 g/mole and the molar mass of magnesium oxide is 40 g/mole.

From the given balanced reaction, we conclude that

As, 1 mole of magnesium react $\frac{1}{2}$ mole of oxygen to give 1 mole of magnesium oxide.

So, the mass of Mg is 24 g, the mass of $O_2=\frac{1}{2}\times 32=16g$ and the mass of MgO is 40 g.

That means 24 g of Mg react with 16 g $O_2$ to give 40 g of MgO.
