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.

aleksandrvk [35]

There are 4 moles of spectator ions that remain in solution.

The equation of the reaction is;

Na2CO3(aq) + Pb(NO3)2(aq) -------> PbCO3(s) + 2NaNO3(aq)

We have to determine the limiting reactant. This is the reactant that yields the least amount of product. Note that the spectator ions are Na^+ and NO3^- that form NaNO3.

For Na2CO3

1 mole of Na2CO3 yields 2 moles of NaNO3

3 moles of Na2CO3 yields 3 × 2/1 = 6 moles of NaNO3

For Pb(NO3)2

1 mole of Pb(NO3)2 yields 2 moles of NaNO3

2 moles of Pb(NO3)2 yields 2 × 2/1 = 4 moles of NaNO3

We can see that Pb(NO3)2 is the limiting reactant.

Since [NaNO3] = [Na^+] = [NO3^-], it follows that there are 4 moles of spectator ions that remain in solution.

Answer:

b) sharpening a pencil

Explanation:

If you melt lead, boil water, or dissolve sugar in water, you can return all of them back to their original state. If you sharpen a pencil, you can't reattach the shavings as they were originally.

Ca(OH)2 (s) precipitates when a 1.0 g sample of CaC2(s) is added to 1.0 L of distilled water at room temperature. If a 0.064 g s

Answer:

D) Ca(OH)₂ will not precipitate because Q < Ksp

Explanation:

Here we have first a chemical reaction in which Ca(OH)₂ is produced:

CaC₂(s) + H₂O ⇒ Ca(OH)₂ + C₂H₂

Ca(OH)₂ is slightly soluble, and depending on its concentration it may precipitate out of solution.

The solubility product constant for Ca(OH)₂ is:

Ca(OH)₂(s) ⇆ Ca²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq)

Ksp = [Ca²⁺][OH⁻]²

and the reaction quotient Q:

Q = [Ca²⁺][OH⁻]²

So by comparing Q with Ksp we will be able to determine if a precipitate will form.

From the stoichiometry of the reaction we know the number of moles of hydroxide produced, and since the volume is 1 L the molarity will also be known.

mol Ca(OH)₂ = mol CaC₂( reacted = 0.064 g / 64 g/mol = 0.001 mol Ca(OH)₂

the concentration of ions will be:

[Ca²⁺ ] = 0.001 mol / L 0.001 M

[OH⁻] = 2 x 0.001 M = 0.002 M ( From the coefficient 2 in the equilibrium)

Now we can calculate the reaction quotient.

Q= [Ca²⁺][OH⁻]² = 0.001 x (0.002)² = 4.0 x 10⁻⁹

Q < Ksp since 4.0 x 10⁻⁹ < 8.0 x 10⁻⁸

Therefore no precipitate will form.

The answer that matches is option D
