Ionic compound are those compounds which are made up of ions. The ion which has tendency to loose electrons is said to cation (positive charge) such as metals whereas ion which has tendency to gain electrons is said to anion (negative charge) such as non-metals.

Calcium nitrate is quite soluble in water due to very low lattice enthalpy in comparison to other ionic compound. With lower lattice enthalpy, less energy is required for the dissociation of calcium nitrate and it get dissolves in water than other three compounds. Moreover, hydration energy is higher for calcium nitrate which make its solubility higher in water than other ionic species.

Thus, $Ca(NO_{3})_{2}$ is correct answer.

What is the oxidation state of each element in the species Mn(ClO4)3?

gayaneshka [121]

The oxidation state of the compound Mn (ClO4)3 is to be determined in this problem. For oxygen, the charge is 2-, the total considering its number of atoms is -24. Mn has a charge of +3. TO compute for Mn, we must achieve zero charge overall hence 3+3x-24=0 where x is the Cl charge. Cl charge, x is +7.

Gaseous ethane will react with gaseous oxygen to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water . Suppose 2.7 g of ethane is m

Bond [772]

Answer:

$m_{H_2O}=4.86gH_2O$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the described chemical reaction is:

$C_2H_6+\frac{7}{2} O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O$

Thus, for the given reacting masses, we must identify the limiting reactant for us to determine the maximum mass of water that could be produced, therefore, we proceed to compute the available moles of ethane:

$n_{C_2H_6}=2.7gC_2H_6*\frac{1molC_2H_6}{30gC_2H_6} =0.09molC_2H_6$

Next, we compute the moles of ethane consumed by 13.0 grams of oxygen by using the 1:7/2 molar ratio between them:

$n_{C_2H_6}^{consumed\ by \ O_2}=13.0gO_2*\frac{1molO_2}{32gO_2}*\frac{1molC_2H_6}{\frac{7}{2} molO_2}=0.116molC_2H_6$

Thus, we notice there are less available moles of ethane, for that reason, it is the limiting reactant, thereby, the maximum amount of water is computed by considering the 1:3 molar ratio between ethane and water:

$m_{H_2O}=0.09molC_2H_6*\frac{3molH_2O}{1molC_2H_6} *\frac{18gH_2O}{1molH_2O} \\\\m_{H_2O}=4.86gH_2O$
