I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the first option. The compound that contains both ionic and covalent bonding is KOH or potassium hydroxide. It contains one covalent<span> (O-H) and one that is </span>ionic<span> (K-O). Hope this helps.</span>

Answer: KOH

Explanation:

Being KOH the only not binary compound it is the candidate to be the one with two different type of bondings.

In fact, KOH is a ionic compound because the cation K⁺ forms a ionic bond with the anion OH⁻.

On the other hand, the oxigen and hydrogen atoms in OH⁻ are covalently bonded.

The ionic bond is the result of the union of two atoms with a high elecronegativity difference, while the covalent bonding is the result of a combination of two atoms whose electronegativities is not so different.

Being K and alkali metal (the elements with lowest electronegativity) and OH⁻ an anion, they easily form the ionic bond.

From tables, the electronegativity of H is 2.20 and the electronegativity of O is 3.16, which leads to a difference of 3.16 - 2.20 = 0.96. This difference is not enough to form ions but covalent bonds. That is why the bond O-H is covalent.

When you analyze the bonds of the other choices, N-O, C-H, and H-Br, y ou conclude that the electronegativities lead to covalent bonds too.

Calculate the amount of heat water absorbs from a piece of hot metal using the following data: 75.0 g of cold water is placed in

AysviL [449]

Answer:

Amount of heat absorbed by water is 2604.54 J.

Explanation:

Amount of heat absorbed by water = $m_{water}\times C_{water}\times \Delta T_{water}$

where m represents mass, C represents specific heat and $\Delta T$ represents change in temperature.

Here $m_{water}=75.0$ g , $C_{water}=4.184J/(g.^{0}\textrm{C})$ and $\Delta T$ = (final temperature - initial temperature) = (29.5-21.2) $^{0}\textrm{C}$ = 8.3 $^{0}\textrm{C}$

So, amount of heat heat absorbed by water

= $(75.0g)\times (4.184\frac{J}{g.^{0}\textrm{C}})\times (8.3^{0}\textrm{C})$

= 2604.54 J

What is the relationship among solutions solutes and solvents

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Solvents are substances in which solutes dissolves while solutes are substances that dissolve in solvents and solutions result from mixing solvents and solutes.

Explanation:

A solvent is a substance such as water that dissolves a solute.
A solute is a substance that dissolves in a solvent. For example, when sodium chloride dissolves in water, sodium chloride is the solute and water is the solvent.
A solution, on the other hand, results from combining a solute and a solvent. Therefore, a mixture of water and sodium chloride forms the solution.

spayn [35]

Answer: 1.59atm

Explanation:

We have that for the Question "Calculate the final pressure of the gas mixture, assuming that the container volume does not change."

it can be said that

The final pressure of the gas mixture, assuming that the container volume does not change =

From the question we are told

A container of N2O3(g) has a pressure of 0.265 atm. When the absolute temperature of the N2O3(g) is tripled, the gas completely decomposes, producing NO2(g) and NO(g).
