DerKrebs [107]3 years ago
8 0

<u>Answer:</u> The given compound is a covalent compound.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Covalent compound is defined as the compound which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms forming a compound. These are usually formed when two non-metals react.

An ionic compound is defined as the compound which is formed when electron gets transferred from one atom to another atom. These are usually formed when a metal reacts with a non-metal.

We are given:

A chemical compound having chemical name as nitrogen triiodide.

This compound is formed by the combination of nitrogen and iodine atoms. Both these elements are non-metals and thus form covalent compound.

The chemical formula for the given compound is NI_3

Hence, the given compound is a covalent compound.

What are [Ba2+] and [CrO42−] in a saturated BaCrO4 solution if the Ksp of BaCrO4 is 1×10−10?
Sholpan [36]
1)  Chemical equation of the equilibrium

BaCrO4⇄ Ba (2+) + CrO4 (2-)

2) Ksp equation

Ksp = [Ba(2+)] [CrO4 (2-)]

where Ksp = 1.0 * 10^ - 10 and [Ba(2+)] = [CrO4(2-)] = x

3) Calculations

1.0 * 10^ -10 = x * x

=> x^2 = 1.10 * 10^-10

=> x = √[1.0 * 10^ -10] = 0.000010

Answer: [Ba(2+)] = [CrO4(2-)] = 0.00001 M

Cis-4-tertButylcyclohexyl bromide (compound 1) and Trans-4 tert Butylcyclohexylbromide (compound 2) are reacted with Potassium T
Mkey [24]

Answer:

In compound 1 the Tert butyl group occupies the equatorial position and the Bromine occupies the axial position and in compound 2 the Tert butyl occupies the axial and the bromine occupies equatorial positions. Compound 1 reacts faster than compound 2.

Explanation:

In cyclic organic compounds, substituents may occupy the axial or equatorial positions. The axial positions are aligned parallel to the symmetry axis of the ring while the equatorial positions are around the plane of the ring.

Bulky substituents have more room in the equatorial than in the axial position. This means that compound 1 is more stable than compound 2.

This is clear on the basis of stability of the molecules because compound 1 will react faster than compound 2 since the bulky tertiary butyl group in compound 1 occupy equatorial and not axial positions.

What is the composition of tungsten?
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

90% to 97% pure tungsten in a matrix of nickel and copper or nickel and iron.

Explanation:

Heavy metal tungsten alloys are 90% to 97% pure tungsten in a matrix of nickel and copper or nickel and iron. The addition of these alloying elements improves both the ductility and machinability of these alloys over non-alloyed tungsten.
