Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A covalent compound is formed by sharing of electrons between two chemically combining atoms.

A covalent bond will always form between non-metals.

Some properties of covalent compounds are as follows.

  • Covalent compounds are brittle in nature. This means they tend to break easily.
  • Covalent compounds have low melting and boiling point.
  • These compounds are unable to conduct heat and electricity.
  • Covalent compounds generally do not dissolve in water.

As covalent compounds have low melting and boiling point so, it is possible that they evaporate at room temperature.

Thus, we can conclude that sample C is a liquid that evaporates at room temperature, most likely to be a covalent compound.

Which of the following does NOT involve a change of state? a. pouring water into a vacuum-insulated bottle b. sublimation of dry
Elena L [17]
<h2> The correct option is (a).</h2>

Explanation:

  • There is no change of state in pouring water into a vacuum insulated bottle as the vacuum created inside the bottle only reduces the time limit for the transfer of heat by conduction and convection.
  • It helps the content filled in the bottle to be hot and cool for a longer time.

Hence, option (a) is correct.

Rest of the options (b), (c), (d), (e) is not correct because of the following reasons:

  • In the sublimation of dry ice, the dry ice (solid-state) is changed to the vapour form.
  • In the freezing of water, the liquid state is changed to solid-state.
  • During the vaporization of alcohol, the liquid state is changed to the vapour form.
  • During the melting of ice, the solid-state is changed to the liquid state.

24 g of magnesium were burned in oxygen. The compound formed had a mass of 40 g. Explain why the mass had gone up.
DIA [1.3K]

Answer :

According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of reactants must be equal to the mass of products.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

Mg+\frac{1}{2}O_2\rightarrow MgO

As we know that the molar mass of magnesium is 24 g/mole, the molar mass of O_2 is 32 g/mole and the molar mass of magnesium oxide is 40 g/mole.

From the given balanced reaction, we conclude that

As, 1 mole of magnesium react \frac{1}{2} mole of oxygen to give 1 mole of magnesium oxide.

So, the mass of Mg is 24 g, the mass of O_2=\frac{1}{2}\times 32=16g and the mass of MgO is 40 g.

That means 24 g of Mg react with 16 g O_2 to give 40 g of MgO.
