Answer:

C) The compound is largely ionic with A as the cation.

Explanation:

Pulings proposed the method to determine if the compound is ionic in nature or covalent in nature , by finding the difference between the electronegativity of the respective cation and anion .

The ion with higher electronegativity is the anion and the ion with lower electronegativity is the cation.

The electronegativity difference above 1.7 make the compound ionic in nature.

Hence, from the question ,

A is the cation and B is the anion.

And the electronegativity difference above 1.7 so the compound is ionic in nature.

A certain element exists as two different isotopes. 76.00% of its atoms have a mass of 35.00 amu and 24.00% of its atoms have a
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

35.48 uma

Explanation:

An isotope is when an element has equal numbers of protons but different mass value because it has different amount of neutrons.

To calculate the average atomic mass with the given data:

First change de percentages to fractional numbers, divide by 100.

Remember the sum of a percentage is equal to 100, but when you are adding the fractions the sum is equal to 1.

76/100 = 0.76

24/100 = 0.24

  %       fraction

76.00 0.76

24.00 0.24

total100.00 1.00

Now, multiply the mass with their corresponding fraction:

35(0.76) = 26.60

37(0.24) =  8.88

%      fraction amu amu

76.00 0.76 35         26.60

24.00 0.24 37         8.88

total100.00 1.00    average 35.48

Now you add the calculated mass to obtain the average atomic mass of the element.

And the value you will get is 35.48 amu.

I included an excel table so you can review it, I like to organize all the given data and the calculation in tables, also I think is easier to understand.

What is the average of the two weights of a nickel and dime. Dime is 2.26g and nickel is 4.97g?
ANTONII [103]
  • Dime=2.26g
  • Nickel=4.97g

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow Avg\:Weight=\dfrac{Sum\:of\:Weights}{No\:of\:weights}

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow Avg\:weight=\dfrac{2.26+4.96}{2}

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow Avg\;weight=\dfrac{7.23}{2}

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow Avg\:Weight=3.6g

The work function of a silver surface is 4.73 eV. What would happen if the silver is hit with a photon with 2.5 eV of energy?
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:Nothing, the photon just bounces off the surface.

Explanation:

According to Albert Einstein, a photoelectron can only be emitted from a metal surface when the energy of the incident photon is greater than the work function of the metal.

In the scenario described in the question, the work function of the metal is greater than the energy of the photon. Hence, the photon just bounces off the metal surface without emitting any electron.

Select the correct answer. which substance in this redox reaction is the oxidizing agent? cu 2agno3 → 2ag cu(no3)2 a. n b. agno3
lana66690 [7]

AgNO₃ will act as the oxidising agent.

<h3><u>For the given chemical equation:</u></h3>

Cu + 2AgNO₃ →  2Ag + Cu(NO₃)₂

Half reactions for the given chemical reaction:

<u>Reducing agent:</u>

Cu → Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻

Copper is a reducing agent because it is losing 2 electrons, which causes an oxidation process.

<u>Oxidising Agent</u>:

Ag⁺ + e⁻ → Ag

The silver ion undergoes a reduction process and is regarded as an oxidizing agent since it is acquiring one electron per atom.

Hence, AgNO₃ is considered as an oxidizing agent and therefore the correct answer is Option B.

<h3><u>Oxidising and Reducing agents</u></h3>
  • An oxidizing agent is a substance that reduces itself after oxidizing another material. It passes through a reduction process in which it obtains electrons and the substance's oxidation state is decreased.
  • A reducing agent is a chemical that oxidizes after reducing another material. It passes through an oxidation process in which it loses electrons and the substance's oxidation state increases.

3. Give an example of how carbon is transferred frem being in a living to a non-living<br> organism.
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Carbon moves from living things to the atmosphere. Each time you exhale, you are releasing carbon dioxide gas (CO2) into the atmosphere. Animals and plants need to get rid of carbon dioxide gas through a process called respiration. Carbon moves from fossil fuels to the atmosphere when fuels are burned.
