Ionic compounds are formed from ionic bonds, whereby an electron is transferred from the metal cation to the nonmetal anion. Ion

s form solid lattices of ions. Covalent compounds form solids through the attraction of two covalent molecules. Since the attraction between two covalent molecules is weak compared to the ionic bonds holding an ionic compound together, ionic compounds tend to have higher melting points.
Which of the following compounds has the highest boiling point?

I2
NaI
HI
IBr

Answer:

NaI

Explanation:

In I₂, HI and IBr, both atoms are nonmetals and they form covalent bonds in which electrons are shared.

In NaI, Na is a metal and I a nonmetal, so they form an ionic bond, where Na loses an electron to form Na⁺ and I gains an electron to form I⁻.  Anions and cations are attracted to each other through electrostatic forces.

Since ionic bonds are stronger than covalent bonds, more energy is required to break them in the melting process, thus having higher melting points.

All in all, NaI is the one with the highest melting point.

If 10.5 g copper chloride react with 12.4 g aluminum what is the limiting reactant
Brut [27]
Molar mass of copper chloride is 134.45 g/mole, so the mole of 10.5 g copper chloride is 10.5/134.45 = 0.078 mole.  Molar mass of aluminum is 27 g/mole, so the mole of 12.4 g aluminium is 12.4/27 = 0.46 mole.  The formula of this reaction is as follows, 2Al + 3CuCl2 ⇒ 2AlCl3 + 3Cu. Thus the molar ratio of the reactants is Al:CuCl2 = 2:3. So to react with 0.078 mole of copper chloride, will need 0.078 x 2/3 = 0.052 moles of aluminum which is less than the given amount (0.46mole).  Therefore, copper chloride is the limiting reactant.

Find the empirical formula of the following compounds:<br> (c) A hydrocarbon with 79.9 mass % carbon
rodikova [14]

The compound is 82.76% C and 17.24% H

In chemistry, the empirical formula of a chemical compound is the simplest whole number ratio of atoms present in a compound.

<h3>Describe the empirical formula.</h3>

The simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound is the empirical formula of a chemical compound in chemistry. Sulfur monoxide's empirical formula, SO, and disulfur dioxide's empirical formula, S2O2, are two straightforward examples of this idea.

The simplest whole number ratio of each type of atom in a compound is its empirical formula. It can be determined from data on the mass of each component in a compound or from the composition's proportion.
