The answer is (3) metallic. Cobalt is a transition metal, so it can't be covalent bonds, which bond non-metals, therefore eliminating choice 1 and 2. Ionic bonds are between metals and non metals, but solid cobalt does not have a non metal, eliminating choice 4 as well. Metallic bonds are bonds between metals, therefore the answer is (3) metallic.
The mass of a chemical substance is known as the atomic number or atomic mass
Answer:
a) 381.2 g
b) 39916 g
c) 0.0013 lb mol
d) 29.6 g mol
Explanation:
The molecular weight (mw) of a compound is the mass of it per mole, so it's the ratio of the mass (m) per mole (n).
a) The molecular weight of one mol is found at the periodic table. So, for Mg, mw = 24.3 g/mol, for Cl = 35.5 g/mol, so for MgCl2, mw = 24.3 + 2*35.5 = 95.3 g/mol. The g mol is the mass divided by the molecular weight:
g mol = m/mw
4 = m/95.3
m = 381.2 g
b) The pound (lb) is a unity of mass, and the lb mol is a unity of the mass divided by the molecular weight. So, by the periodic table, the molecular weight of C3H8 is 3*12 (of C) + 8*1 (of H) = 44 lb/mol.
lb mol = m/mw
2 = m/44
m = 88 lb
1 lb = 453.592 g
So, m = 88*453.592 = 39916 g
c) The molecular weight of N2 is 2*14 (of N) = 28 lb/mol.
m = 16/453.592 = 0.0353 lb
lb mol = m/mw
lb mol = 0.0353/28
lb mol = 0.0013 lb mol
d) The molecular weight is 2*12 (of C) + 6*1(of H) + 1*16(of O) = 46 g/mol
3 lb = 1360.78 g
g mol = m/mw
g mol = 1360.78/46
g mol = 29.6 g mol
