Which parts of atoms can interact (react) to form chemical bonds?

1 answer:

3 0

The valence electrons are the parts of an atom that make interactions and make chemical bonds.
Every atom is made of three different components, a positively charged proton, neutrally charged neutron and negatively charged electron. The protons and the neutrons make up the atom's core and the electrons orbit around that core.
The electrons that orbit around the atom's core in its outer-most orbit (the one that is the furthest from the atom's core) can interact with electrons of other atoms, forming different kinds of chemical bonds.
If there is an exchange of the electrons (one atom donates its electrons to another atom), that results in forming of ions, then those two atoms can be linked in an ionic bond.
If an electron is shared between two atoms, then that bond is called a covalent bond.

If the enthalpy change of a reaction in a flask is δh = +67 kj, what can be said about the reaction?

ziro4ka [17]

Answer : Normally in any chemical reaction, if the enthalpy change i.e. ΔH is positive which means it is greater than zero then it can be called as an Endothermic Reaction.

Whereas, the system under study is absorbing heat that is produced during the reaction. So if ΔH is found to be positive then it can be called as endothermic reaction.

A student has a mixture of salt (NaCl) and sugar (C12H22O11). To determine the percentage, the student measures out 5.84 grams o

julsineya [31]

Answer:

The volume of 1.0 AgNO₃ that would be required to precipitate 5.84 grams of NaCl is 99.93 ml

Explanation:

Here we have the reaction of AgNO₃ and NaCl as follows;

AgNO₃(aq) + NaCl(aq)→ AgCl(s) + NaNO₃(aq)

Therefore, one mole of silver nitrate, AgNO₃, reacts with one mole of sodium chloride, NaCl, to produce one mole of silver choride, AgCl, and one mole of sodium nitrate, NaNO₃,

Therefore, since 5.84 grams of NaCl which is 58.44 g/mol, contains

$Number \, of \, moles, n = \frac{Mass}{Molar \ mass} = \frac{5.84}{58.44} = 0.09993 \ moles \ of \ NaCl$

0.09993 moles of NaCl will react with 0.09993 moles of AgNO₃

Also, as 1.0 M solution of AgNO₃ contains 1 mole per 1 liter or 1000 mL, therefore, the volume of AgNO₃ that will contain 0.09993 moles is given as follows;

0.09993 × 1 Liter/mole= 0.09993 L = 99.93 mL

Therefore, the volume of 1.0 AgNO₃ that would be required to precipitate 5.84 grams of NaCl is 99.93 ml.
