Answer:

Vapour pressure of a liquid varies with temperature

Explanation:

The vapour pressure of any liquid is directly proportional to the temperature of the liquid. This implies that, as the temperature of the liquid increases, the vapour pressure increases likewise and vice versa.

Since the vapour pressure of liquid varies with the temperature of the liquid, it is essential to know the water temperature in the experiment to determine the vapour pressure of water.

What two types of elements are ionic compounds made of?

mash [69]

Answer:

ionic compounds are made from metal and non mental elements

Explanation:

in this case it is know as an ionic compound because it contains a charge. For example, NaCl is simply a compound as it contains no charges (the charges cancel out as Cl is -1 and Na is +1)

but OH- is an ionic compound as it has a charge if -1 (O has a -2 charge and H has a +1 charge, so -2+1=-1 so OH has -1 charge)

What is the relative atomic mass of a hypothetical element that consists isotopes in the indicated natural abundances

belka [17]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:What is the relative atomic mass of a hypothetical element that consists isotopes in the indicated natural abundances.

Isotope mass amu Relative abundance

1 77.9 14.4

2 81.9 14.3

3 85.9 71.3

Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answer: 84.2 amu

Explanation:

Mass of isotope 1 = 77.9

% abundance of isotope 1 = 14.4% = $\frac{14.4}{100}=0.144$

Mass of isotope 2 = 81.9

% abundance of isotope 2 = 14.3% = $\frac{14.3}{100}=0.143$

Mass of isotope 3 = 85.9

% abundance of isotope 2 = 71.3% = $\frac{71.3}{100}=0.713$

Formula used for average atomic mass of an element :

$\text{ Average atomic mass of an element}=\sum(\text{atomic mass of an isotopes}\times {{\text { fractional abundance}})$

$A=\sum[(77.9\times 0.144)+(81.9\times 0.143)+(85.9\times 0.713)]$

$A=84.2amu$

Therefore, the average atomic mass of a hypothetical element that consists isotopes in the indicated natural abundances is 84.2 amu

What kinds of elements form an ionic bond?

Vanyuwa [196]

Ionic bonds usually occur between metal and nonmetal ions. For example, sodium (Na), a metal, and chloride (Cl), a nonmetal, form an ionic bond to make NaCl. In a covalent bond, the atoms bond by sharing electrons. Covalent bonds usually occur between nonmetals.
