Answer:

A. electrons simultaneously attracted by more than one nucleus

Explanation:

Covalent bond is the bond which is formed with the sharing of the electrons between the two atoms which are taking part in the bond. It is generally formed between the atoms with similar electronegativity values.
It is the bond which is generally occurs within non metals as they share electrons to complete their octet.
The difference in the electronegativity values of the atoms involving in a covalent bond must not exceed the value of 1.7 .

Thus, the electrons are attracted by the two different nucleus of the atoms that are taking part in the bonding.

So, the correct answer is:- A. electrons simultaneously attracted by more than one nucleus

Question List (4 items) (Drag and drop into the appropriate area) Find the volume of HCl that will neutralize the base. Find the

expeople1 [14]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is:

The solubility of slaked lime, $Ca(OH)_2$ , in water is 0.185 g/100 ml. You will need to calculate the volume of $2.50\times 10^{-3}$ M HCl needed to neutralize 14.5 mL of a saturated

Answer: The volume of HCl required is 290mL, the mass of $Ca(OH)_2$ is 0.0268g, the moles of

Explanation:

Given values:

Solubility of $Ca(OH)_2$ = 0.185 g/100 mL

Volume of $Ca(OH)_2$ = 14.5 mL

Using unitary method:

In 100 mL, the mass of $Ca(OH)_2$ present is 0.185 g

So, in 14.5mL. the mass of $Ca(OH)_2$ present will be = $\frac{0.185}{100}\times 14.5=0.0268g$

The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass.

The equation used is:

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

Given mass of $Ca(OH)_2$ = 0.0268 g

Molar mass of $Ca(OH)_2$ = 74 g/mol

Plugging values in equation 1:

$\text{Moles of }Ca(OH)_2=\frac{0.0268g}{74g/mol}=0.000362 mol$

Moles of $OH^-$ present = $(2\times 0.000362)=0.000724mol$

The chemical equation for the neutralization of calcium hydroxide and HCl follows:

$Ca(OH)_2+2HCl\rightarrow CaCl_2+2H_2O$

By the stoichiometry of the reaction:

Moles of $OH^-$ = Moles of $H^+$ = 0.000724 mol

The formula used to calculate molarity:

$\text{Molarity of solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (mL)}}$ .....(2)

Moles of HCl = 0.000724 mol

Molarity of HCl = $2.50\times 10^{-3}$

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

$2.50\times 10^{-3}mol=\frac{0.000724\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution}}\\\\\text{Volume of solution}=\frac{0.000725\times 1000}{2.50\times 10^{-3}}=290mL$

Hence, the volume of HCl required is 290mL, the mass of $Ca(OH)_2$ is 0.0268g, the moles of
