Correct Answer: option B. moderately polar covalent

Reason:
Both phosphorus and oxygen are non-metals, and hence they are bonded by covalent bonds. Furthermore, the electro negativity of P and O is 2.1 and 3.5 respectively. The difference in electro negativity is 1.4. Due to the difference in electro negativity, nature of the P-O bond in phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5) is moderately polar covalent.

Answer:

a) Speed of the reaction = 0.002083 mol/L.s

b) The rate of disappearance of A₂ during this period of time = 0.002083 mol/L.s

c) The rate of appearance of AB₃ = 0.004167 mol/L.s

Explanation:

English Translation

During a study of the reaction rate

A₂ (g) + 3B₂ (g) → 2 AB₃ (g),

it is observed that in a closed container containing a certain amount of A₂ and 0.75 mol / L of B₂, the concentration B₂ decreases to 0.5 mol / L in 40 seconds.

a) What is the speed of the reaction?

b) What is the rate of disappearance of A₂ during this period of time?

c) What is the rate of appearance of AB₃?

Solution

The rate of a chemical reaction is defined as the time rate at which a reactant is used up or the rate at which a product is formed.

It is the rate of change of the concentration of a reactant (rate of decrease of the concentration of the reactant) or a product (rate of increase in the concentration of the product) with time.

Mathematically, for a balanced reaction

aA → bB

Rate = -(1/a)(ΔA/Δt) = (1/b)(ΔB/Δt)

The minus sign attached to the change of the reactant's concentration indicates that the reactant's concentration decreases.

And the coefficients of each reactant and product in the balanced reaction normalize the rate of reaction for each of them

So, for our given reaction,

A₂ (g) + 3B₂ (g) → 2 AB₃ (g)

Rate = -(ΔA₂/Δt) = -(1/3)(ΔB₂/Δt) = (1/2)(ΔAB₃/Δt)

a) Speed of the reaction = Rate of the reaction

But we are given information on the change of concentration of B₂

Change in concentration of B₂ = ΔB₂ = 0.50 - 0.75 = -0.25 mol/L

Change in time = Δt = 40 - 0 = 40 s

(ΔB₂/Δt) = (-0.25/40) = -0.00625 mol/L.s

Rate of the reaction = -(1/3)(ΔB₂/Δt) = (-1/3) × (-0.00625) = 0.002083 mol/L.s

b) The rate of disappearance of A₂ during this period of time

Recall

Rate = -(ΔA₂/Δt) = -(1/3)(ΔB₂/Δt)

-(ΔA₂/Δt) = -(1/3)(ΔB₂/Δt)

Rate of disappearance of A₂ = -(ΔA₂/Δt) = -(1/3)(ΔB₂/Δt) = (-1/3) × (-0.00625) = 0.002083 mol/L.s

c) The rate of appearance of AB₃

Recall

Rate = -(1/3)(ΔB₂/Δt) = (1/2)(ΔAB₃/Δt)

(1/2)(ΔAB₃/Δt) = -(1/3)(ΔB₂/Δt)

(ΔAB₃/Δt) = -(2/3)(ΔB₂/Δt)

rate of appearance of AB₃ = (ΔAB₃/Δt) = -(2/3)(ΔB₂/Δt) = (-2/3) × (-0.00625) = 0.004167 mol/L.s

In a percentage composition investigation a compound was decomposed into its elements: 20.0 g of calcium, 6.0 g of carbon, and 2

inysia [295]

The percentage composition of this compound : 40%Ca, 12%C and 48%O

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

20.0 g of calcium,

6.0 g of carbon,

and 24.0 g of oxygen.

Required

The percentage composition

Solution

Total mass of compound :

=mass calcium + mass carbon + mass oxygen

=20 g + 6 g + 24 g

=50 g

Percentage composition :

Ca-calcium

$\tt \dfrac{20}{50}\times 100\%=40\%$

C-carbon

$\tt \dfrac{6}{50}\times 100\%=12\%$

O-oxygen

$\tt \dfrac{24}{50}\times 100\%=48\%$

Which has more neutrons: Cobalt or Nickel?

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

Because the most common form of Nickel is Ni-58 while the most common form of Cobalt is Co-59, this means that Cobalt (which is number 27 on the periodic table) has 27 protons and 32 neutrons. Therefore 1 less proton but 2 more neutrons and hence has a greater mass than Nickel.

Answer:

Explanation:

A1. Chemical indicator, any substance that gives a visible sign, usually by a colour change, of the presence or absence of a threshold concentration of a chemical species, such as an acid or an alkali in a solution. An example is the substance called methyl yellow, which imparts a yellow colour to an alkaline solution.

A2. The reaction of an acid with a base is called a neutralization reaction. The products of this reaction are a salt and water. ... For example, the reaction of hydrochloric acid, HCl, with sodium hydroxide, NaOH, solutions produces a solution of sodium chloride, NaCl, and some additional water molecules

A3. Methyl orange has the property to color alkaline and neutral water yellow. If the water becomes acidic, it turns red immediately.
