Answer: A. Sodium chloride

Explanation: Sodium chloride (NaCl) is an ionic compound formed by transfer of electrons from sodium to chlorine.

Electronic configuration of sodium:

[Na]=1s^22s^22p^63s^1

Sodium atom will loose one electron to gain noble gas configuration and form sodium cation with +1 charge.

[Na^+]=1s^22s^22p^63s^0

Electronic configuration of chlorine:

[Cl]=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5

Chlorine atom will gain one electron to gain noble gas configuration and form chloride ion with -1 charge.

[Cl^-]=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6

These ions can be separated in polar solvent water and thus are soluble in water.

Whereas methane (CH_4) is a covalent compound formed by sharing of electrons and is soluble in non polar solvents.

Bromine (Br_2) is a covalent compound formed by sharing of electrons and is soluble in non polar solvents.

The K sp for barium fluoride, BaF2, is 2.45 × 10-5. What is the molar solubility of barium fluoride?
lilavasa [31]

Answer: The molar solubility of barium fluoride is 0.0183 moles/liter.

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction will be as follows:

BaF_2\rightarrow Ba^{2+}+2F^

By Stoichiometry,

1 mole of BaF_2 gives 2 moles of F^- and 1 mole of Ba^{2+}

Thus if solubility of BaF_2 is s moles/liter, solubility of Ba^{2+} is s moles/liter and solubility of F^- is 2s moles/liter

Therefore,  

K_sp=[Ba^{2+}][F^{-}]^2

2.45\times 10^{-5}=[s][2s]^2

4s^3=2.45\times 10^{-5}

s^3=6.12\times 10^{-6}moles/liter

s=0.0183moles/liter

Thus the molar solubility of barium fluoride is 0.0183 moles/liter.

What is the bond order for a single covalent bond?​
hram777 [196]

Answer:

We typically represent covalent bonds with a dash ( - ) between the atoms. This indicates a single bond. Ex: Cl - Cl

Single bond, double bond, triple bond.

Explanation:

We call it a single covalent bond because the atoms are sharing a single pair of electrons.

A liquid has a volume of 34.6 ml and a mass of 46.0 g. what is the density of the liquid?
Minchanka [31]

The density of a substance can simply be calculated by dividing the mass by the volume:

density = mass / volume

 

Therefore calculating for the density since mass and volume are given:

density = 46.0 g / 34.6 mL

density = 1.33 g / mL

What is happening to the particles in a substance during evaporation?
AysviL [449]
During evaporation, liquid particles on the surface momentarily gain enough energy due to random thermal motion to overcome the intermolecular attractions and escape into the gas phase. These evaporating particles, by virtue of gaining energy, also increase in velocity.

Thus, the correct answer here would be the third choice.
