Which is the reason that ionic compounds are brittle? The bonds between the anions and cations are weak and therefore easily bro

ken. A strong repulsive force is created when cations suddenly align. They involve positive metal ions in a sea of delocalized electrons. They share electrons, which makes the bond brittle.

Well ionic compounds are brittle because similar charges repel, which causes them to break usually occurring when a force is applied, like a hammer strike.

What is the volume of an oxygen tank if it contains 12 moles of oxygen at 273 K under 75 kPa?
Zina [86]
Given:
n = 12 moles of oxygen
T = 273 K, temperature
p = 75 kPa, pressure

Use the ideal gas law, given by
pV=nRT \\ or \\  V= \frac{nRT}{p}
where
V = volume
R = 8.3145 J/(mol-K), the gas constant

Therefore,
V= \frac{(12\,mol)(8.3145\, \frac{J}{mol-K} )(273\,K)}{75 \times 10^{3} \, Pa}= 0.3632\,m^{3}

Answer: 0.363 m³

2nd part of the other one plz help
Natalija [7]

18. Reaction will occur.

19. Reaction Will occur.

20. Reaction will occur.

21. Reaction will occur.

22. Reaction won't occur.

23. Reaction will occur.

24. Reaction will occur.

25. Reaction won't occur.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

The reaction rate of the metals with water, steam, acid, or hydroxides or their inert behavior towards them are noted in the metal activity series.

It contains all the metals one after the other which and the upper metal can replace the lower metal from its salt.

Calcium can replace hydrogen from acid, so the reaction will occur in 18. The products formed are calcium phosphate and hydrogen gas.

Chlorine is more reactive than bromine. So it can replace bromine from its salt to from bromine gas and magnesium chloride.

Aluminium can replace iron from its salt. So it will form aluminium oxide and iron metal. This reaction is used to obtain iron from ores.

Zinc can replace hydrogen from acid. So the products will be zinc chloride and hydrogen gas.

Chromium cannot displace hydrogen form water. So the reaction won't occur.

Tin can replace hydrogen form acid. So the reaction will proceed.

Magnesium will replace platinum from its salt. So magnesium oxide and platinum will form.

Bismuth cannot replace hydrogen from acid. So the reaction won't proceed.
