The correct answer is option 4, that is, an ionic compound.  

The mentioned features belong to an ionic compound. The ionic compounds exhibit strong bonds in between their atoms, that is, an ionic bond is the strongest molecular bond, this confirms that ionic compounds exhibit a high melting point.  

The ionic compounds do not transmit current, as they do not possess free electrons, like metals, thus, they are poor conductors as solid. The ionic compounds get dissolve in water and form ions that are the charges, which can move, making them good conductors as a liquid. The composition of the ionic compound is a set of crystals that makes them brittle and hard.

An isotope of cesium-137 has a half-life of 30 years. If 5.0g of cesium-137 decays over 60 years. How many grams will remain.
LenKa [72]

Answer:

1.25 gram of cesium-137 will remain.

Explanation:

Given data:

Half life of cesium-137 = 30 year

Mass of cesium-137 = 5.0 g

Mass remain after 60 years = ?

Solution:

Number of half lives passed = Time elapsed / half life

Number of half lives passed = 60 year / 30 year

Number of half lives passed = 2

At time zero = 5.0 g

At first half life = 5.0 g/2 = 2.5 g

At 2nd half life = 2.5 g/ 2 = 1.25 g

Thus. 1.25 gram of cesium-137 will remain.

Propane is often used to heat homes. The combustion of propane follows the following reaction: C3H8(g) + 5O2(g)  3CO2 (g) + 4H
swat32

Answer:

To release 7563 kJ of heat, we need to burn 163.17 grams of propane

Explanation:

<u>Step 1</u>: Data given

C3H8 + 5O2 -----------> 3CO2 + 4H2O      ΔH° = –2044 kJ

This means every mole C3H8

Every mole of C3H8 produces 2044 kJ of heat when it burns (ΔH° is negative because it's an exothermic reaction)

<u>Step 2: </u>Calculate the number of moles to produce 7563 kJ of heat

1 mol = 2044 kJ

x mol = 7563 kJ

x = 7563/2044 =  3.70 moles

To produce 7563 kJ of heat we have to burn 3.70 moles of C3H8

<u>Step 3: </u>Calculate mass of propane

Mass propane = moles * Molar mass

Mass propane = 3.70 moles * 44.1 g/mol

Mass propane = 163.17 grams

To release 7563 kJ of heat, we need to burn 163.17 grams of propane

This is the balances equations. C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O How many moles of oxygen are required to produce 37.15 g CO2
AleksandrR [38]
Molar mass O2 = 31.99 g/mol

Molar mass CO2 = 44.01 g/mol

Moles ratio:

<span>C3H8 + 5 O2 = 3 CO2 + 4 H2O 
</span>
5 x 44.01 g O2 ---------------- 3 x 44.01 g CO2
( mass of O2) ------------------ 37.15 g CO2

mass of O2 = 37.15 x 5 x 44.01/ 3 x 44.01

mass of O2 = 8174.8575 / 132.03

mass of O2 = 61.916 g 

Therefore:

1 mole O2 ----------------- 31.99 g
moles O2 -------------------- 61.916

moles O2 = 61.916 x 1 / 31.99

moles = 61.916 / 31.99 => 1.935 moles of O2
