Answer : The incorrect statements are:

(A) When two nonmetals react, the compound formed is ionic.

(B) Two nonmetals can undergo an oxidation-reduction reaction.

Explanation :

Covalent compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms forming a compound.

The covalent compound are usually formed when two non-metals react.

The two nonmetals can not undergo an oxidation-reduction reaction.

Ionic compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed when electron gets transferred from one atom to another atom.

Ionic compound are usually formed when a metal reacts with a non-metal.

The metal-nonmetal reaction can always be assumed to be an oxidation-reduction reaction.

For example : $2Na(s)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2NaCl(s)$

In this reaction, sodium shows oxidation because the oxidation state changes from (0) to (+1) and and chlorine shows reduction because the oxidation state changes from (0) to (-1).

Hence, the incorrect statements are, (A) and (B)

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

%age Yield = 22.72 %

Explanation:

The balance chemical equation is as follow;

2 NH₄Cl + CaO → 2 NH₃ + CaCl₂ + H₂O

Step 1: Calculate Moles of CaO, NH₄Cl and NH₃;

CaO:

Moles = Mass / M.Mass

Moles = 112 g / 56.07 g/mol

Moles = 1.99 moles of CaO

NH₄Cl:

Moles = Mass / M.Mass

Moles = 224 g / 53.49 g/mol

Moles = 4.18 moles of NH₄Cl

NH₃:

Moles = Mass / M.Mass

Moles = 16.3 g / 17.03 g/mol

Moles = 0.95 moles of NH₃

Step 2: Calculate Limiting reagent as:

According to equation.

2 moles of NH₄Cl reacts with = 1 mole of CaO

So,

4.18 moles of NH₄Cl will react with = X moles of CaO

Solving for X,

X = 4.18 mol × 1 mol / 2 mol

X = 2.09 mol of CaO

This means that none of the given reagent is limiting reagent. They both are almost equal in number of moles.

Step 3: Calculate Theoretical Yield of NH₃ as;

According to equation.

2 moles of NH₄Cl produced = 2 moles of NH₃

So,

4.18 moles of NH₄Cl will produce = X moles of NH₃

Solving for X,

X = 4.18 mol × 2 mol / 2 mol

X = 4.18 mol of NH₃

Step 4: Calculate Percentage Yield as;

%age Yield = Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield × 100

%age Yield = 0.95 mol / 4.18 × 100

%age Yield = 22.72 %
