Answer:

No, It's a molecular or covalent compound

Explanation:

Let remember the concept of a ionic bond:

The Ionic bond is when it's transfered all of the valence electrons of the atoms. This always result in charged ions (positive and negative) and it's usually given between a metal and non metal element. The metal loses electrons (has a positive charge) while the non metal gains electrons (negative charges). For example Sodium and Fluorine to form the Sodium Fluorine (Na+ and F-)

In the case of SCl6 this is not ocurring. For starter, S and Cl are both non metals, so it's very unlikely that a transfer of all ions occurs. What it occurs in this case is another kind of bond, which is called covalent bond

A covalent bond is when two atoms <em>share</em> their electrons between them to form a stronger bond and result in a compound. In this case, the outer electrons are in the vicinity or the atoms, and then, begins to share those electrons and form a new bond and product.

In the case of SCl6, the 6 electrons of the S form a bond with one electron of each chlorine, sharing those electrons and they form the bond and a new compound.

This is something similar to what happens to the molecule of water. Therefore SCl6 it's covalent.

Which three factor are most important in determining the composition of ocean water
lina2011 [118]
<span>There are factors that are important to be determined for the composition of ocean water. First factor is the temperatue, by this you will be able to know the rate of evaporation of the sea. Next is the salinity, through this you will be able to know salty the sea is which will help you identify the last factor- density. The density is the most common because when there is more salt in the sea, it is less dense.</span>

<u>Given:</u>

Mass of calcium nitrate (Ca(NO3)2) = 96.1 g

<u>To determine:</u>

Theoretical yield of calcium phosphate, Ca3(PO4)2

<u>Explanation:</u>

Balanced Chemical reaction-

3Ca(NO3)2 + 2Na3PO4 → 6NaNO3 + Ca3(PO4)2

Based on the reaction stoichiometry:

3 moles of Ca(NO3)2 produces 1 mole of Ca3(PO4)2

Now,

Given mass of Ca(NO3)2 =  96.1 g

Molar mass of Ca(NO3)2 =  164 g/mol

# moles of ca(NO3)2 = 96.1/164 = 0.5859 moles

Therefore, # moles of Ca3(PO4)2 produced = 0.0589 * 1/3 = 0.0196 moles

Molar mass of Ca3(PO4)2 = 310 g/mol

Mass of Ca3(PO4)2 produced = 0.0196 * 310 = 6.076 g

Ans: Theoretical yield of Ca3(PO4)2 = 6.08 g
