Answer: $SO_4^{2-}$

Explanation:

A covalent bond is formed when an element shares its valence electron with another element. This bond is formed between two non metals. Example: $SO_4^{2-}$

An ionic bond is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element and the element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element. This bond is formed between a metal and an non-metal. Example: $NaCl$

$Fe$ has metallic bonds and helium has dispersion forces.

Answer:

A. SO4 2−

Explanation:

SO₄²⁻

A covalent bond is a bond that forms from sharing of electrons between two atoms. Here, the two atoms combined must have a very low electronegative difference between them, usually 0. Electronegativity deals with the tendency of an atom to attract electrons to itself.

Oxygen and sulfur shows similar tendencies. Since the two atoms shows a strong affinity for their valence electrons in order to complete the octet. This will lead to the eventual sharing of the valence electrons.

What is the pH of a 0.300 M NH₃ solution that has Kb = 1.8 × 10⁻⁵ ? The equation for the dissociation of NH₃ is: NH₃ (aq) + H₂O

nalin [4]

Answer:

11.4

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Concentration of the base (Cb): 0.300 M

Basic dissociation constant (Kb): 1.8 × 10⁻⁵

Step 2: Write the dissociation equation

NH₃(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ NH₄⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

Step 3: Calculate the concentration of OH⁻

We will use the following expression.

$[OH^{-} ]=\sqrt{Kb \times Cb } = \sqrt{1.8 \times 10^{-5} \times 0.300 } = 2.3 \times 10^{-3} M$

Step 4: Calculate the pOH

We will use the following expression.

$pOH =-log[OH^{-} ]= -log(2.3 \times 10^{-3} M) = 2.6$

Step 5: Calculate the pH

We will use the following expression.

$pH+pOH=14\\pH = 14-pOH = 14-2.6 = 11.4$

When a gas is pumped into a small rigid container the pressure inside the container increases as more particles are added. If th

marysya [2.9K]

Since the container of the gas is rigid, the volume of the gas will remain constant. Therefore, when the number of particles were decreased in half then the pressure will also be half of the original given they both are subjected to the same temperature.

PV = nRT

V, T and R are constants so they can be lumped together to a constant k.

P/n = k
P1/n1 = P2/n2

since n2 = n1/2
P1/n1 = P2/<span>n1/2</span>
P2 = P1/2

Why sulphur has two melting point values

Fofino [41]

I don't know how well known/accepted this is (it's in my textbook so I'm guessing it's right), but Sulphur has two forms - the alpha and beta forms ,apparently gamma sulphur exists as well.

The alpha form is rhombic, yellow in color and has a MP of 385.8 K. The beta form is colorless and has a MP of 393 K and is formed by melting rhombic sulphur and cooling it till a crust forms on top. Poke a hole and pour out the liquid inside and you get beta sulphur. The transition point is 369K - below it, alpha sulphur is stable and above it, beta sulphur is stable. Both have helped. I had to pull out an old textbook and that's something that I don't usually do.
