The students with ionic bonds have a better understanding of what the model needs to illustrate.

Explanation:

When ionic compounds dissolve in water, they break apart into the ions that make them up through a process called dissociation.
When placed in water, the ions are attracted to the water molecules, each of which carries a polar charge.
If the force between the ions and the water molecules is strong enough to break the bonds between the ions, the compound dissolves.
The ions dissociate and disperse in solution, each ringed by water molecules to prevent reattachment.
The ionic solution turns into an electrolyte, meaning it can conduct electricity.
While covalent compounds dissolve in water they break apart into molecules, but not individual atoms.
Water is a polar solvent, but covalent compounds are usually nonpolar.
This means covalent compounds typically don't dissolve in water, instead making a separate layer on the water's surface.

Why is it essential for a calorimetry to be an insulated (closed) system?

aksik [14]

Answer:

B.Thermal insulation minimizes energy loses to the atmosphere.

Explanation:

It is important because it helps to stop hit from transferring from the calorimeter to the environment. This would help to have an accurate measurement of the heat that was used in the chemical process. The greatest cause of error that happens in calorimetry is when heat is lost to the environment. To reduce this, you insulate the calorimeter and add a cover.

Number of moles = 8.3 x 10⁻¹³

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The mole is the number of particles(molecules, atoms, ions) contained in a substance

1 mol = 6.02.10²³ particles

Can be formulated

N=n x No

N = number of particles

n = mol

No = Avogadro's = 6.02.10²³

5 x 10¹¹ atoms of Silver :

$\tt mol=\dfrac{5\times 10^{11}}{6.02\times 10^{23}}=8.3\times 10^{-13}$

Rank the solutions in order of decreasing [H3O ]. Rank solutions from largest to smallest hydronium ion concentration. To rank i

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

0.10M HCN < 0.10 M HClO < 0.10 M HNO₂ < 0.10 M HNO₃

Explanation:

We are comparing acids with the same concentration. So what we have to do first is to determine if we have any strong acid and for the rest ( weak acids ) compare them by their Ka´s ( look for them in reference tables ) since we know the larger the Ka, the more Hydronium concentration will be in these solutions at the same concentration.

HNO₃ is a strong acid and will have the largest hydronium concentration.

HCN Ka = 6.2 x 10⁻¹⁰

HNO₂ Ka = 4.0 x 10⁻⁴

HClO Ka = 3.0 x 10⁻⁸

The ranking from smallest to largest hydronium concentration will then be:

0.10M HCN < 0.10 M HClO < 0.10 M HNO₂ < 0.10 M HNO₃

Why should a sports person or a rickshaw puller in take more corbohydrate rich food in their diet

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

These glucose molecules are stored in the liver and muscles to be used for fuel, especially during physical activity. Carbohydrates improve athletic performance by delaying fatigue and allowing an athlete to compete at higher levels for longer. nutrients, such as fat or muscle protein, are utilized to make energy.

Heavy nuclides with too few neutrons to be in the band of stability are most likely to decay by what mode?

Margarita [4]

Answer:

Positron emission

Explanation:

Positron emission involves the conversion of a proton to a neutron. This process increases the mass number of the daughter nucleus by 1 while its atomic number remains the same. The new neutron increases the number of neutrons present in the daughter nucleus hence the process increases the N/P ratio.

A positron is usually ejected in the process together with an anti-neutrino to balance the spins.
