Which of the following statements is not correct?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Pavlova-9 [17]3 years ago
4 0
Answer: This option is incorrect: <span>B. Covalent compounds are held together by much stronger interparticle forces than are ionic compounds.

Justification:

Ionic bonds, held by ionic compounds, are much stronger than covalent bonds, held by covalent compounds.

In ionic bonds one element yields one or more electrons forming a cation (a positively charged ion) and the other element accepts the electrons forming an anion (a negatively charged ion).

The anion and the cation are electrostatically atracted by each other. This electrostatic atraction force, named ionic bond, is very strong.

As result of this, the ionic compounds form strong crystals with high boiling and fusion points. A good example of this the sodium chloride, formed by the union of cation Na(+) and anion Cl(-).

The covalent bonds are result of sharing electrons and do not form ions. This bond is weaker than the ionic bond.

Is primarily responsible for acid rain in the northeast United States Uranium-238 Answer A: Uranium-238 A Coal Answer B: Coal B
Georgia [21]

Based on the available facts, in the northeast United States, the biggest source of acid rain producing pollutants comes from the burning of coal by power plants to produce electricity.

<h3>What is acid rain?</h3>

Acid rain occurs when gases such as sulfur (iv) oxide and nitrogen oxides which are released from the burning of fossil fuels such as petrol and coal are released into the atmosphere, which then dissolve in rainwater and fall as acid rain.

These gases are known as acid anhydrides because they dissolve in water to produce acids.

In the northeast United States, the biggest source of acid rain producing pollutants comes from the burning of coal by power plants to produce electricity.

How many grams of C3H8 would be needed to produce 6.39 grams of CO2?
just olya [345]

Answer:

2.13g

Explanation:

Atomic mass of CO2 =  12 + 32 = 44g/Mol

Atomic mass of C3H8 = 36 + 8 = 44g/Mol

Reaction

C3H8 + 5O2 --> 3CO2 + 4H2O

3CO2 = 6.39g

Required C3H8 = (6.39/(44 x 3)) x 44 = 2.13g
