Which phrase best defines a chemical bond?
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Chemical bond can be define as a force holding atoms firmly together to a form molecules.

Explanation:

Chemical bond is a strong attraction between atoms, molecules or ions that enhance the formation of chemical compounds. The bonds may be due from the electrostatic force of attraction between opposite charged ions or through the sharing of electrons.

Types of chemical bond

There are four types of chemical bonds

- covalent bond

- polar bond

- ionic bond

- hydrogen bond

Ionic bond involves the transfer of an electron which involves one atom receiving and the other giving out

Covalent bond involves the sharing of electrons between two atoms

Polar bonds involves two atoms connected by covalent bonds which may exert different attractions for the electrons in the bond resulting into unevenly charges distribution

Hydrogen bond: this is found mostly in water H2O. They are polarized

The half-life of sr-90 is 28 years. after 56 years of decay only 0. 40 g of a sample remains. what was the mass of the original
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Half-life is the time taken for the concentration of the substance to reduce by 50%. The original sample of strontium had a mass of 1.6 gms. Thus, option d is correct.

<h3>What is half-life?</h3>

The half-life of any radioactive substance is the time period at which the concentration will get reduced to half the initial amount. The initial mass of Sr-90 is calculated as,

N(t) = N_{0} (\dfrac{1}{2})^{ \frac{t }{t 1/2}}

Given,

Quantity of the remaining substance N (t) = 0.40 gm

Initial radioactive substance quantity N_{0} =?

Time duration (t) = 56 years

Half-life = 28 years

Substituting values above:

\begin{aligned} 0.40 &= N_{0} (\dfrac{1}{2}) ^{{\frac{56}{28}}\\\\0.40 &= N_{0} (\dfrac{1}{2})^{2}\end{aligned}

= 1.6 gm

Therefore, option d. the initial mass of Sr is 1.6 gm.

Which lava composition causes the most volcanic eruptions? Why?
ddd [48]

Answer:

Explosive eruptions are favored by high gas content & high viscosity magmas (andesitic to rhyolitic magmas). The explosive bursting of bubbles fragments the magma into clots of liquid that cool as they fall through the air. These solid particles become pyroclasts or volcanic ash.

Explain why calcium metal after reacting with water starts floating on its surface. Write the chemical equation for this reactio
Oksanka [162]

Firstly, the chemical equation between the calcium metal and water will be:  

Ca(s) + 2 H₂O(l) → Ca(OH)₂(aq) + H₂(g)  

We can see from the equation the bubbles of hydrogen gas which are formed during the reaction stick to the surface of the metal and hence calcium floats on water.  

The other metal that will float on the water during the reaction is magnesium which have the same chemical behavior like calcium, we can illustrate that by the chemical equation:

Mg(s) + 2 H₂O(l) → Mg(OH)₂(aq) + H₂(g)

A 0.69-g sample of lime (CaO) is dissolved in enough water to make 1535 mL of solution. Calculate the pH of of the solution.
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

pH = 12.2

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of lime = 0.69 g

Volume = 1535 mL (1535 / 1000 = 1.535 L)

pH of solution = ?

Solution:

First of all we will determine the molarity.

Molarity = moles of solute / volume in litter

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 0.69 g / 56.1 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.0123 mol

Molarity = moles of solute / volume in litter

Molarity = 0.0123 mol / 1.535 L

Molarity =  0.008 M

One mole of CaO neutralize two mole of OH⁻.

0.008 M×2 = 0.016 M

[OH⁻] = 0.016 M

pOH = -log [OH⁻]

pOH = [0.016]

pOH = 1.8

14 = pH +pOH

pH = 14 - pOH

pH = 14-1.8

pH = 12.2
