The answer is (3) sodium nitrate. Sodium nitrate is NaNO3. The bond between N and O ion is covalent bond and the bond between Na+ and NO3- is ionic bond.

Answer is (3) - Sodium Nitrate.

Normally ionic bonds can be seen between metals and non-metals while covalent bonds present between non-metals. Another thing that determines the bond nature is electronegativity value of the atoms. If the electronegativity difference is high, then that bond tends to be an ionic bond.

Sodium nitrate consists of Na⁺ and NO₃⁻ ions. Hence, the bond between Na⁺ and NO₃⁻ is an ionic bond. 

NO₃⁻ is made from N and O. Both are non-metallic atoms. The electronegativities of N and O are 3.0 and 3.5 respectively. Hence, there is no big difference between electronegativity values (3.5 - 3.0 = 0.5). Hence, the bond between N and O is a covalent bond.

How could you distinguish octane from 1-octene by a simple chemical test?

lara [203]

卂几丂山乇尺

As the name indicate that in 1-octene there is a double bond on the first position in the eight carbon atoms chain THUS to detect its presence, we use bromine water test;

Add bromine water to the test tube containing octane/octene if the brown colour of bromine water disappears then octene is present.

The value of Ka for phenol (a weak acid), C6H5OH, is 1.00×10-10. Write the equation for the reaction that goes with this equilib

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

$Ka=\frac{[C_6H_5O^-][H^+]}{[C_6H_5OH]}$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, weak acids are characterized by the fact they do not dissociate completely, it means they do not divide into the conjugated base and acid at all, a percent only, which is quantified via equilibrium. In such a way, the chemical equation representing such incomplete dissociation is said to be:

$C_6H_5OH\rightleftharpoons C_6H_5O^-+H^+$

Thus, we can write the law of mass action, which consider the equilibrium concentrations of all the involved species, which is also known as the acid dissociation constant which accounts for the capacity the acid has to yield hydronium ions:

$K=Ka=\frac{[C_6H_5O^-][H^+]}{[C_6H_5OH]}$

Best regards.
