What is the nature of the Ca-Cl bond in a molecule of calcium chloride (CaCl2) if the electronegativity value of calcium is 1.0

and that of chlorine is 3.16?

Ca-Cl is an ionic bond. We know this because the difference between their electronegativities is 2.16.The electronegativity tells us which atom will attract the electron more than the other. Hence, chlorine attracts the electron a lot more than the calcium.A difference of more than 1.6 (or 1.7 depending on the source) implies that the electrons are so unevenly shared, that the bond is ionic, rather than polar covalent.

Write two balanced equations
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

1. NaOH + H₂O → Na⁺ + OH⁻ + H₂O + heat

2. NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H₂O

Explanation:

1. The dissolving of NaOH in water is an exothermic reaction resulting a heat. It also causes the dissociation of NaOH to its ions (Na⁺ and OH⁻).

So, the balanced equation will be NaOH + H₂O → Na⁺ + OH⁻ + H₂O + heat.

2. The reaction between acid and base resulting salt and water. It is considered as a neutralization reaction.

The reaction between HCl and NaOH will give sodium chloride and water and the balanced equation will be NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H₂O.

The half-life for the reaction below was determined to be 2.14 × 10^4 s at 800 K. The value of the half-life is independent of t
lord [1]

Answer:

0.0907 s

Explanation:

This an Arrhenius equation problem, so you relate the half-life with the kinetic constant of the reaction in order to calcule the same thermodynamic parameters at another temperature.

To calcule the kinetic constant of the reaction you need to know the order of it, look closely to the sentence "The value of the half-life is independent of the inital concentration of N2O present." the only order independent from the initial concentration of reagents is first order, so you can calculate K at 800 K, using:

k(800 K)=\frac{ln(2)}{t_{1/2}}= \frac{ln(2)}{2.14 * 10^{4} s}}=3.239*10^{-5}s^{-1}}

Now you can use Arrhenius equation to calcule K at 1150.66 K

ln(\frac{k1}{k2} )=-\frac{E_{a} }{R}(\frac{1}{T2} - \frac{1}{T1}  )

k2= k1*exp(-\frac{E_{a} }{R}(\frac{1}{T2} - \frac{1}{T1}  ))=3.239*10^{-5}s^{-1}*exp(-\frac{270 000 J/mol }{8.314 J/mol *k }(\frac{1}{1150.66K} - \frac{1}{800K}  ))=7.639 s^{-1}

Then calculate the new half-life:

t_{1/2} =\frac{ln(2)}{7.639s^{-1}}=0.0907 s

Molecules in a sample of NH3 are held closely together by intermolecular forces
morpeh [17]
The forces in NH3 includes the vanderwaals force which will always be present and hydrogen bonding due to the electronegativity of N as compared to H. When it is in solution, there will be ionic interactions because there will be some NH4+ ions formed.
