Number 4. 1 and 2 are both wrong. Copper is a metal and sulfur is a nonmetal. And when a bond is made, energy is stored.

4 is the right answer. When you form bonds energy is released, however if you were to break bonds energy is being absorbed. This scan be remembered in the simple mnemonic, BARF. Breaking, is Absorbing, Releasing, is Forming

What is the best name for the following compound? CCl4

Nitella [24]

Answer:

The answer is b. Carbon Tetrachloride

Explanation:

Let's discard the other options:

a. It couldn't be carbon chloride because there are four (4) chloride ions in the molecular formula. The molecular formula for the carbon chloride must be CCI. So, this answer is wrong

c. It could be monocarbon tetrachloride because there are 4 chloride ions and 1 carbon ion, but it's not necessary to use the prefix "mono" because there is just one carbon ion in the formula. In that way, when we mention carbon in the name, there is implicit that there is just one carbon atom in the formula. So, this answer could be ok, but isn't the best.

d. It couldn't be calcium chloride because there isn't any calcium ion or atom in the formula. The molecular formula for the calcium chloride must be CaCI. So, this answer is wrong

In the reaction between Li and O, there is a transfer of electrons making an ionic bond. In the bond, lithium would be a (n) bec

galben [10]

Answer:

C) cation, loses, anion, gains

Explanation:

Lithium is a metal from Group 1, so it has 1 valence electron. Thus, it loses 1 electron to complete its octet and form the cation Li⁺.

Oxygen is a nonmetal from Group 16, so it has 6 valence electrons. Thus, it gains 2 electrons to complete its octet and form the anion O²⁻.

In the reaction between Li and O, there is a transfer of electrons making an ionic bond. In the bond, lithium would be a cation because it loses an electron, and oxygen would be an anion because it gains 2 electrons.

A particular reactant decomposes with a half‑life of 109 s when its initial concentration is 0.280 M. The same reactant decompos

Sophie [7]

Answer:

The order of reaction is 2.

Rate constant is 0.0328 (M s)⁻¹

Explanation:

The rate of a reaction is inversely proportional to the time taken for the reaction.

As we are decreasing the concentration of the reactant the half life is increasing.

a) For zero order reaction: the half life is directly proportional to initial concentration of reactant

b) for first order reaction: the half life is independent of the initial concentration.

c) higher order reaction: The relation between half life and rate of reaction is:

Rate = $\frac{1}{k[A_{0}]^{(n-1)}}$

Half life = $K\frac{1}{[A_{0}]^{(n-1)} }$

$\frac{(halflife_{1})}{(halflife_{2})}=\frac{[A_{2}]^{(n-1)}}{[A_{1}]^{(n-1)} }$

where n = order of reaction

Putting values

$\frac{109}{231}=\frac{[0.132]^{(n-1)}}{[0.280]^{(n-1)}}$

$0.472=(0.472)^{(n-1)}$

Hence n = 2

$halflife=\frac{1}{k[A_{0}]}$

Putting values

$231=\frac{1}{K(0.132)}$

K = 0.0328

A slice of Swiss cheese contains 41 mg of sodium.

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

a. 41 mg equals 0.041 grams.

b. 41 mg equals 0.0014462 ounces

c. 41 mg equals 9.039*10⁻⁵ pounds

Explanation:

You know that a slice of Swiss cheese contains 41 mg of sodium.

a. What is this mass in grams?

Knowing that 1 mg = 10⁻³ g, you can apply the following rule of three: if 1 mg equals 10⁻³ g or 0.001 grams, 41 mg will be equivalent to how much mass in g?

$mass=\frac{41 mg*0.001 g}{1 mg}$

mass= 0.041 grams

41 mg equals 0.041 grams.

b. What is this mass in ounces?

Knowing that 1 mg = 3.5274 * 10⁻⁵ ounces, you can apply the following rule of three: if 1 mg equals 3.5274 * 10⁻⁵ ounces, 41 mg will be equivalent to how much mass in ounces?

$mass=\frac{41 mg*3.5274*10^{-5}ounces }{1 mg}$

mass= 1.4462*10 ⁻³ ounces= 0.0014462 ounces

41 mg equals 0.0014462 ounces

c. What is this mass in pounds?

Knowing that 1 mg = 2.20462 * 10⁻⁶ pounds, you can apply the following rule of three: if 1 mg equals 2.20462 * 10⁻⁶ pounds, 41 mg will be equivalent to how much mass in pounds?

$mass=\frac{41 mg*2.20462*10^{-6}pounds }{1 mg}$

mass= 9.039*10⁻⁵ pounds

41 mg equals 9.039*10⁻⁵ pounds
