Answer: 1.  C. polar covalent: electrons shared between silicon and sulfur but attracted more to the sulfur

2. B)  NH_3

3. B) Fluorine

Explanation:

1. A polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is a difference of electronegativities between the atoms.

Electronegativity difference = electronegativity of sulphur- electronegativity of silicon = 2.5 -1.8 = 0.7

Thus as electronegativity difference is less than 1.7 , the cond is polar covalent and as electronegativity of sulphur is more , the electrons will be more towards sulphur.

2. A molecular compound is usually composed of two or more nonmetal elements. Example: NH_3

Ionic compound is formed by the transfer of electrons from metals to non metals. Example: Mg_3N_2 , AlCl_3 and LiBr

3.  For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Here K is having an oxidation state of +1 and as the compound formed is KZ, the oxidation state of non metallic element Z should be -1. Thus the element Z is flourine which exists as diatomic gas F_2

A metal X from two oxide A and B .3.oogm of A and B contain 0.72 and 1.16g of oxygen respectively.calculate the maases of metal
devlian [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Firstly, we have to determine the mass of metal X. We can do that by interpreting the first and second statement mathematically.

Metal X can form 2 oxides (A and B).

A + B = 3g

The mass of oxygen in A is 0.72g and the mass of oxygen in B is 1.16g.

The mass of metal X in the two oxides will be the same because it's the same metal.

Thus, we represent the mass of the metal in the two oxides as 2X.

2X + 0.72 + 1.16 = 3

2X + 1.88 = 3

2X = 3 - 1.88

2X = 1.12

X = 0.56

<u>Thus, 0.56 g of the metal combines with 0.72g of oxygen in A and 1.16 g of oxygen in B.</u>

Thus, mass of metal (X) in 1g of oxygen in A is

0.56g ⇒ 0.72g

X ⇒ 1

X = 1 × 0.56/0.72

X = 0.78 g

Hence, 0.78g of the metal will combine with 1g of oxygen for A

Also, mass of metal (X) in 1g of oxygen in B is

0.56g ⇒ 1.16g

X ⇒ 1g

X = 1×0.56/1.16

X = 0.48 g

Thus, 0.48g of the metal will combine with 1g of oxygen for B

mixture of N 2 And H2 Gases weighs 13.22 g and occupies a volume of 24.62 L at 300 K and 1.00 atm.Calculate the mass percent of
anygoal [31]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass percent of nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas is 91.41 % and 8.59 % respectively.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation given by ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

where,

P = Pressure of the gaseous mixture = 1.00 atm

V = Volume of the gaseous mixture = 24.62 L

n = number of moles of the gaseous mixture = ?

R = Gas constant = 0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

T = Temperature of the gaseous mixture = 300 K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1.00atm\times 24.62L=n_{mix}\times 0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 300K\\\\n_{mix}=\frac{1.00\times 24.62}{0.0821\times 300}=0.9996mol

We are given:

Total mass of the mixture = 13.22 grams

Let the mass of nitrogen gas be 'x' grams and that of hydrogen gas be '(13.22 - x)' grams

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

<u>For nitrogen gas:</u>

Molar mass of nitrogen gas = 28 g/mol

\text{Moles of nitrogen gas}=\frac{x}{28}mol

<u>For hydrogen gas:</u>

Molar mass of hydrogen gas = 2 g/mol

\text{Moles of hydrogen gas}=\frac{(13.22-x)}{2}mol

Equating the moles of the individual gases to the moles of mixture:

0.9996=\frac{x}{28}+\frac{(13.22-x)}{2}\\\\x=12.084g

To calculate the mass percentage of substance in mixture we use the equation:

\text{Mass percent of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Mass of mixture}}\times 100

Mass of the mixture = 13.22 g

  • <u>For nitrogen gas:</u>

Mass of nitrogen gas = x = 12.084 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Mass percent of nitrogen gas}=\frac{12.084g}{13.22g}\times 100=91.41\%

  • <u>For hydrogen gas:</u>

Mass of hydrogen gas = (13.22 - x) = (13.22 - 12.084) g = 1.136 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Mass percent of hydrogen gas}=\frac{1.136g}{13.22g}\times 100=8.59\%

Hence, the mass percent of nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas is 91.41 % and 8.59 % respectively.

What is the pOH value of 0.0000877 M HCL
ki77a [65]

Answer:

pOH=9.9

Explanation:

pH=-log[H+]= -log[0.0000877]

=4.06

pOH+ pH=14

pOH=14-4.06= 9.91
