Which of the following best describes a pair of elements that will form an ionic bond?

2 answers:

3 0

An ionic bond forms between a metal and a nonmetal. So, since C and O are nonmetals it cannot be that one. Also, P and Cl are also both nonmetals so it cannot be that one either. That leaves Li and O and Ca and Br. In an ionic bond metals loose electrons and nonmetals gain electrons. Therefore it cannot be Li and O because it states that oxygen, the nonmetal, looses electrons and lithium, the metal, looses electrons. So, the answer has to be Ca and Br because Ca, the metal, looses electrons and Br, the nonmetal, gains electrons.

Anit [1.1K]

Answer: The percent yield of the reaction is 32.34 %

Explanation:

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

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For benzoic acid:

Given mass of benzoic acid = 3.6 g

Molar mass of benzoic acid = 122.12 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of benzoic acid}=\frac{3.6g}{122.12g/mol}=0.0295mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of benzoic acid and methanol is:

$\text{Benzoic acid + methanol}\rightarrow \text{methyl benzoate}$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction

1 mole of benzoic acid produces 1 mole of methyl benzoate

So, 0.0295 moles of benzoic acid will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0295=0.108$ moles of methyl benzoate

Now, calculating the mass of methyl benzoate from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of methyl benzoate = 136.15 g/mol

Moles of methyl benzoate = 0.0295 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.0295mol=\frac{\text{Mass of methyl benzoate}}{136.15g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of methyl benzoate}=(0.0295mol\times 136.15g/mol)=4.02g$

To calculate the percentage yield of methyl benzoate, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Experimental yield of methyl benzoate = 1.3 g

Theoretical yield of methyl benzoate = 4.02 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ yield of methyl benzoate}=\frac{1.3g}{4.02g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of methyl benzoate}=32.34\%$

Hence, the percent yield of the reaction is 32.34 %

Alexxx [7]

The First 2 statements stated above were false whereas the third one is a true statement.

Explanation:

The viscosity of bitumen is about 100 times greater than the viscosity of water - False

Reason - The viscosity of bitumen is about not 100 times greater than the viscosity of water, it is actually 100, 000 times greater.

Oil from oil sand deposits is only obtained by first heating the sands at high temperatures is False.

Reason- Oil from oil sand deposits is not obtained by first heating the sands at high temperatures but by using steams

Oil sands contain sand, water, and light crude oil is true.
