Answer : The correct option is, (C) sharing two electrons by two atoms

Explanation :

Covalent bond : It is defined as the bond that is formed when sharing of electrons takes place between the atoms.

This is usually formed between two non-metals.

As we know that the chlorine is a non-metal and has 7 valence electrons.

A covalent bond is formed between the two chlorine atoms by the sharing of two electron.

Ionic bond : It is defined as the bond that is formed when electron gets transferred from one atom to another atom.

This is usually formed between metal and non-metals.

As we know that the sodium is an alkali metal and has one valence electron and chlorine is a non-metal and has 7 valence electrons.

When sodium atom donates an electron to a chlorine atom then it forms an ionic compound that is sodium chloride (NaCl).

Hence, the correct option is, (C) sharing two electrons by two atoms

A chemistry graduate student is given of a chlorous acid solution. Chlorous acid is a weak acid with . What mass of should the s
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

11.31g NaClO₂

Explanation:

<em> Is given 250mL of a 1.60M chlorous acid HClO2 solution. Ka is 1.110x10⁻². What mass of NaClO₂ should the student dissolve in the HClO2 solution to turn it into a buffer with pH =1.45? </em>

It is possible to answer this question using Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

pH = pKa + log₁₀ [A⁻] / [HA]

<em>Where pKa is -log Ka = 1.9547; [A⁻] is the concentration of the conjugate base (NaClO₂), [HA] the concentration of the weak acid</em>

You can change the concentration of the substance if you write the moles of the substances:

[Moles HClO₂] = 250mL = 0.25L×(1.60mol /L) = <em>0.40 moles HClO₂</em>

Replacing in H-H expression, as the pH you want is 1.45:

1.45 = 1.9547 + log₁₀ [Moles NaClO₂] / [0.40 moles HClO₂]

-0.5047 = log₁₀ [Moles NaClO₂] / [0.40 moles HClO₂]

<em>0.3128 = </em>[Moles NaClO₂] / [0.40 moles HClO₂]

0.1251 = Moles NaClO₂

As molar mass of NaClO₂ is 90.44g/mol, mass of 0.1251 moles of NaClO₂ is:

0.1251 moles NaClO₂ ₓ (90.44g / mol) =

Iron crystallizes in a body-centered cubic unit cell. The edge length of this cell is 287 pm. Calculate the density of iron in g
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Density = 7.87 grams per mL

Explanation:

Density is given by the formula:

d=\frac{Z\times M}{a^{3}\times N_a}

where

Z = effective number of atoms in one unit cell.

M = Molecular mass of the substance

a = edge length of unit cell

Na = Avogadro number = 6.022×10²³

In this case:

Z=2 as it is body-centered type unit cell

M = 56 g per mole for iron

a =  287 pm = 287\times10^{-10}\ cm

Substituting the above values in the density formula we get:

d=\frac{2\times56}{(287\times10^{-10})^{3}\times6.022\times10^{23}}=7.87\ g\ per\ ml

Density of iron is 7.87 grams per mL.
