Which statement describes a step in the formation of an ionic bond?

BartSMP [9]

The correct answer is a metal atom forms a cation, and a nonmetal atom forms an anion. This is because metals are less electronegative than nonmetals and will therefore give electrons to nonmetals. Atoms that give up electrons will have a positive charge therefore becoming a cation while atoms that accept electrons will have a negative charge therefore becoming an anion.

Ions that have the same charge can't be attracted to each other since it takes a positive and negative charge to cause attractive forces.

A less electronegative atom will transfer electrons to a more electronegative atom.

A metal (cation) can pull electrons from another metal (not an ion) but that does not form an attractive force between the two metals (You will learn more about this when you go over reduction potentials, redox reactions, and electrochemistry).

I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.

What is the economic importance of phosphorus in Canada or elsewhere in the world?

vladimir1956 [14]

white phosphorus is used in flares and explosives, so may be important in warfare, etc. Red phosphorus is used in matches (side of matches) and in fertilizers which are essential to growing plants. I don't know if that is economically important, but there are many ways that phosphorus benifit the economy. One downside on the economy is that phosphorus is one of the main ingredients in meth, which of course causes trouble for the economy ( law enforcement, medical, etc. )

What mass of chromium would be produced from the reaction of 57.0 g of potassium with 199 g of chromium(II) bromide according to

fredd [130]

Answer:

Mass of Chromium produced = 37.91 grams

Explanation:

2K + CrBr₂ → 2KBr + Cr

2mole 1 mole 1 mole

mass of Potassium = 57.0 grams

molar mass of Potassium = 39.1 g/mol

no of moles of Potassium = 57.0 / 39.1 = 1.458 moles

mass of CrBr₂= 199 grams

molar mass of CrBr₂ = 211.8 gram/mole

no of moles of CrBr₂ = 199 / 211.8 = 0.939 mole

From chemical equation

1 mole of CrBr₂ = 2 moles of K

∴ 0.939 moles of CrBr₂ = ?

⇒ 0.939 x 2/1 = 1.878 moles of K

1.878 moles of K is needed, but there is 1.458 moles of K. So, Potassium is completed first during the reaction . Hence, Potassium is limiting reagent. and CrBr₂ is excess reagent .

From chemical equation

2 moles of K = 1 mole of Cr

∴ 1.458 moles of K = ?

⇒ 1.458 x 1/ 2 = 0.729 moles of Cr

no of moles of Cr formed = 0.729 moles

molar mass of Cr = 52.0 g/mol

mass of one mole of Cr = 52.0 grams

mass of 0.729 moles of Cr = 52.0 x 0.729 = 37.908 grams

mass of Chromium produced = 37.91 grams
