Is calcium carbide ionic or covalent compound ?

2 answers:

6 0

CaC2

Ca - Group 2 metal
C - Group 4 non-metal

It is an ionic compound. :)

Explanation: Ionic compounds has a giant lattice structure with strong electrostatic forces of attraction between ions of Metal and Non-Metal. This compound require a large amount of energy/heat to overcome.

Covalent compounds has a simple molecular structure with weak intermolecular bonds with Non-metals only. This compound requires little energy/heat to overcome.

Alkanes are hydrocarbons containing only single bonds. Acyclic alkanes have carbon atoms arranged in chains, whereas cycloalkane

sashaice [31]

Answer:

156 Hydrogen atoms

Explanation:

Any acyclic alkane has a molecular formula that can be expressed as:

CₙH₂ₙ₊₂

Where n is any integer and the number of carbon atoms. For example, Propane has 3 carbon atoms, this means it would have [2*3+2] 8 hydrogen atoms, resulting with a formula of C₃H₈.

An acyclic alkane with 77 carbon atoms would thus have:

2*77 + 2 = 156 hydrogen atoms

Vilka [71]

Answer:

both forms of energy referred to in the question is light and heat energy

light energy is the visible energy that travels at a known constant speed of 3.0×10^9m/s

while heat energy is the invisible energy that travels in form of radiation at variable speeds

What do you look at to tell the reactivity of an atom?

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

The number of electrons in the outermost shell of an atom determines its reactivity. Noble gases have low reactivity because they have full electron shells. Halogens are highly reactive because they readily gain an electron to fill their outermost shell.

Answer: 27.09 ppm and 0.003 %.

First, for air pollutants, ppm refers to parts of steam or gas per million parts of contaminated air, which can be expressed as cm³ / m³. Therefore, we must find the volume of CO that represents 35 mg of this gas at a temperature of -30 ° C and a pressure of 0.92 atm.

Note: we consider 35 mg since this is the acceptable hourly average concentration of CO per cubic meter m³ of contaminated air established in the "National Ambient Air Quality Objectives". The volume of these 35 mg of gas will change according to the atmospheric conditions in which they are.

So, according to the law of ideal gases,

PV = nRT

where P, V, n and T are the pressure, volume, moles and temperature of the gas in question while R is the constant gas (0.082057 atm L / mol K)

The moles of CO will be,

n = 35 mg x $\frac{1 g}{1000 mg}$ x $\frac{1 mol}{28.01 g}$

→ n = 0.00125 mol

We clear V from the equation and substitute P = 0.92 atm and

T = -30 ° C + 273.15 K = 243.15 K

V = $\frac{0.00125 mol x 0.082057 \frac{atm L}{mol K} x 243 K}{0.92 atm}$

→ V = 0.0271 L

As 1000 cm³ = 1 L then,

V = 0.0271 L x $\frac{1000 cm^{3} }{1 L}$ = 27.09 cm³

Then the acceptable concentration c of CO in ppm is,

c = 27 cm³ / m³ = 27 ppm

To express this concentration in percent by volume we must consider that 1 000 000 cm³ = 1 m³ to convert 27.09 cm³ in m³ and multiply the result by 100%:

c = 27.09 $\frac{cm^{3} }{m^{3} }$ x $\frac{1 m^{3} }{1 000 000 cm^{3} }$ x 100%

c = 0.003 %

So, the acceptable concentration of CO if the temperature is -30 °C and pressure is 0.92 atm in ppm and as a percent by volume is 27.09 ppm and 0.003 %.
