Answer: HA + H2O ⇌ H3O+ + H- (option #4)
Explanation: Since the acid is weak you have to use a ⇌ (equilibrium) sign. Equilibrium is denoted in a chemical equation by the ⇌ symbol. Also, when any acid dissolves into water, it produces hydronium (H3O+ or H+). Therefore, the fourth chemical reaction is your answer.
I'm not completely sure on this and I apologize if it's wrong, but I believe it's B) Newton's Law.
Answer:
Zn3P2O8
Explanation:
In this particular question, it is necessary to convert the respective masses to percentages. We convert to percentages by placing each mass over the total mass and multiplying by 100%. Since the total is 50mg, conversion to percentage can be done by multiplying the masses by 2 as 100/50 is 2
For Oxygen = 16.58 * 2 = 33.16%
For phosphorus = 8.02 * 2 = 16.04%
For zinc = 25.40 * 2 = 50.80%
We then proceed to divide these percentages by their respective atomic masses. The atomic mass of oxygen, phosphorus and zinc are 16, 31 and 65 respectively.
O = 33.16/16 = 2.0725
P = 16.04/31 = 0.5174
Zn = 50.80/65 = 0.7815
Now, we divide by the smallest value which is that of the phosphorus
O = 2.0725/0.5174 = 4
P = 0.5174/0.5174 = 1
Zn= 0.7815/0.5174 = 1.5
Now, we need to multiply through by 2. This yields: O = 8, P = 2 and Zn = 3
The empirical formula is thus: Zn3P2O8
Explanation:
A covalent bond is formed when an element shares its valence electron with another element. This bond is formed between two non metals.
An ionic bond is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element and the element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element. This bond is formed between a metal and an non-metal.
Chlorine and potassium atoms form ionic bonds: Ionic bond is formed when there is complete transfer of electron from a highly electropositive metal to a highly electronegative non metal. Electronegativity difference = electronegativity of chlorine - electronegativity of potassium = 3-0.8 = 2.2
Carbon atoms form non-polar covalent bonds with nitrogen atoms : Non-polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is no difference of electronegativities between the atoms. Electronegativity difference = electronegativity of nitrogen - electronegativity of carbon= 3.0-2.5 = 0.5
Oxygen forms polar covalent bonds with phosphorus: A polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is a difference of electronegativities between the atoms. Electronegativity difference = electronegativity of oxygen - electronegativity of phosphorous = 3.5- 2.19 = 1.31
