Answer:
The gas that Dr. Brightguy added was O₂
Explanation:
Ideal Gases Law to solve this:
P . V = n . R . T
Firstly, let's convert 736 Torr in atm
736 Torr is atmospheric pressure = 1 atm
20°C = 273 + 20 = 293 T°K
125 mL = 0.125L
0.125 L . 1 atm = n . 0.082 L.atm / mol.K . 293K
(0.125L .1atm) / (0.082 mol.K /L.atm . 293K) = n
5.20x10⁻³ mol = n
mass / mol = molar mass
0.1727 g / 5.20x10⁻³ mol = 33.2 g/m
This molar mass corresponds nearly to O₂
Cation and an anion the differences in charge make them attracted to each other
Answer:
- <u><em>Magnesium and fluorine.</em></u>
Explanation:
<em>Ionic compounds</em> are formed by the electrostatic attraction of cations and anions.
Cations, positive ions, are formed when atoms lose electrons, and anions, negative ions, are formed when atoms gain electrons.
When two different atoms have similar atraction for electrons (electronegativity) they will not donate to nor catch electrons from each other, so cations and anions will not be formed. Instead, the atoms would prefer to share electrons forming covalent bonds to complete their outermost shell (octet rule).
Then, in order to form ionic compounds the electronegativities have to substantially different. This situation does not happen between two nonmetal elements, which nitrogen and sulfur are. Then, you can predict safely that nitrogen and sulfur will not form an ionic compound.
Ionic compounds, then require the electronegativity difference that exist between some metals and nonmetals. Being magnesium an alkaline earth metal, its electronegativity is very low. On the other hand, fluorine the first element of the group 17, has the highest electronegativity of all the elements.Thus magnesium and fluorine will have enough electronegativity difference to justify the exchange of electrons, forming ions and, consequently, ionic compounds.
Answer:
The reaction is exothermic
The temperature of the water bath goes up
Explanation:
An exothermic reaction is one in which energy flows out of the reaction system.
In this case, the system is the reaction vessel while the surrounding is the water bath. We see in the question that 300.1J of heat flows out of the system during the reaction. This is heat lost to the surroundings showing that the reaction is exothermic.
As energy is lost to the surroundings, the temperature of the water bath rises accordingly.
