What is the difference between a molecular formula and a molecular model?

1 answer:

6 0

<span>Molecular compounds, which are represented by molecules, are usually made of non-metals only (or of metalloids and non-metals). Ionic compounds, which are represented by formula units, are made of metals and non-metals.

More detail if you're interested: Molecules and formula units are the representative particles for molecular and ionic compounds, respectively. By that I mean, one unit of a molecular compound is a molecule...a bundle of atoms covalently bonded that exists separately from all the other molecules. One unit of an ionic compound is a formula unit. A formula unit is a representation of the compound's formula. For example, the formula unit of NaCl is one Na^+1 ion and one Cl^-1 ion. The formula unit of AlCl3 is one Al^+3 ion and three Cl^-1 ions. Ionic compounds don't have separate bundles of atoms like molecular compounds do, so the formula unit is just the smallest number of ions that it takes to represent the formula. </span>

a sample of carbon dioxide is contained in a 250.0mL flask at 0.973 atm and 19.0 celcius. how many molecules of gas are in the s

lbvjy [14]

Answer:n = PV/RT = 0.923 atm x 0.250 L / (0.082057 x 290.75 K) . n = 0.00967. mole 0.00967 mole x 6.22x10^23 molecules/mole = 6.02x10^21 molecules of gas

Chris noticed a high-pressure system in the weather forecast for Monday

Alchen [17]

Answer:

A. Clear and Sunny

Explanation:

The answer would be A. Clear and Sunny. A high pressure system occurs where the air mass above the Earth is denser than in surrounding areas, and therefore exerts a higher force or pressure. They usually happen with li9ght winds. Using process of elimination, it could not be D. Warm and Stormy, C. Cloudy and Rainy, or B. Cold and Stormy because all have wet climates.

Gas laws describe and predict the behavior of gases without attempting to explain why they happen

Nutka1998 [239]

The gas laws describe and predict the behavior of gases with an explanation and experimental data

So the given statement is False.

2) The volume of gas can be calculated based on Avagadro's law

It states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional or varies with the moles of the gas. Higher the moles more the volume, condition is the pressure and temperature are constants in the two conditions

Thus as here the pressure and temperature of nitrogen gas is kept constant

V α moles

$\frac{V1}{n1}=\frac{V2}{n2}$

Where

V1 = 6 l

n1 = 0.50 mol

V2 = ?

n2 = 0.75 mol

On putting values

V2 = 6 X 0.75 / 0.5 = 9 L

so resulting volume of the gas will be 9L
