The correct answer is A

The octet rule state that all main group elements form bonds such that they achieve a noble gas configuration with eight valence electrons. In this case carbon has 4 electrons in its outermost shell and requires 4 more electrons to achieve an octet. Hydrogen is an exception to the octet rule and it only requires two electrons to achieve an octet. All the other options have C and H forming bonds that do not lead to a noble gas configuration.

What is the effect of adding more CO2 to the following equilibrium reaction? CO2 + H2O H2CO3 A. More H2CO3 is produced. B. More

Gre4nikov [31]

I think the answer is D no change. Though you add more CO2, but the pressure is not mentioned. If the pressure is constant and the reaction is already balanced, the H2O is also saturation and can not absorb more CO2.

Determine the number of moles of iodine that reacts with 50g of aluminum

frozen [14]

Answer: The correct answer is option B i.e., 2.78 mol

Explanation:

Aluminium reacts with iodine to form Aluminium iodide

$2Al(s)+3I_{2}(s) \to Al_{2}I_{6}(s)$

From the equation, it is clear that 3 moles of iodine reacts with 2 moles of Aluminium to form Aluminium iodide

We know $$No.\,of\,moles=\frac{weight}{molecular\,weight} \\$

For 2 moles of Aluminium, $2=\frac{weight}{27}$\\ $weight=2 \times 27=54g$

3 moles of Iodine reacts with 54 g of Aluminium

? moles of iodine react with 50 g of Aluminium

$=\frac{3 \times 50}{54} =2.78 mol$

Decide whether the compound is ionic or molecular, if you can.

mestny [16]

Answer:

Molecular solid

Explanation:

A molecular solid has a low melting point, they are soft and do not conduct electricity.

We have been told in the question that the solid does not really dissolve in water and it's solution does not improve the electrical conductivity of water. Hence, it must be a molecular solid.

I have 345mL of a 1.5M NaCl solution. If I boil the water until the volume of the solution is 250mL, what will the molarity of t

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer is
C. 2.07 M

For explanation

M1V1 = M2V2

M2 = (M1V1)/V2

M2 = (1.5M x 345ml) / 250 ml

:. M2 = 2.07 M

What do ionic compounds form

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

By the result of the formation of positive and negative ions, Ionic compounds are formed.

Explanation:

Electrons are actually transferred from one atom to another to form rare gas electron structures for each ion. The atom which forms a positive ion loses electrons to the atom which gains electrons to form a negative ion. A compound is not stable unless the number of electrons which are lost and gained are equal
