Answer:

So, an ionic compound actually has two (or even more) different species in a single crystal or solution, which exist independently. The only reason why they are together is because of the total net charge, which must be zero.

Answer: ionic compounds are not known as molecules because they contain aggregate of positive and negative charges which arise from the transfer of electron from the metallic atom to the non-metallic atom. But in covalent substance, there is a sharing of electron pair between the atoms involved and this makes them to form a molecules

Hydrazine (N2H4), a rocket fuel , reacts with oxygen to form nitrogen gas and water vapor. The reaction is represented with the

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

D) 8.40 L H₂O(g).

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the mentioned reaction is:

2N₂H₄(l) + O₂(g) → N₂(g) + 2H₂O(g),

It is clear that 2.0 moles of N₂H₄ react with 1.0 mole of O₂ to produce 2.0 moles of N₂ and 2.0 moles of H₂O.

At STP, 4.20L of O₂ reacts with N₂H₄:

It is known that at STP: every 1.0 mol of any gas occupies 22.4 L.

using cross multiplication: 

1.0 mol of O₂ represents → 22.4 L.

??? mol of O₂ represents → 4.2 L.

∴ 4.2 L of O₂ represents = (1.0 mol)(4.2 L)/(22.4 L) = 0.1875 mol.

To find the no. of moles of H₂O produced:

Using cross multiplication:

1.0 mol of O₂ produce → 2.0 mol of H₂O, from stichiometry.

0.1875 mol of O₂ produce → ??? mol of H₂O.

∴ The no. of moles of H₂O = (2.0 mol)(0.1875 mol)/(1.0 mol) = 3.75 mol.

Again, using cross multiplication:

1.0 mol of H₂O represents → 22.4 L, at STP.

3.75 mol of H₂O represents → ??? L.

∴ The no. of liters of water vapor will be produced = (3.75 mol)(22.4 L)/(1.0 mol) = 8.4 L.

So, the right choice is: D) 8.40 L H₂O(g).

What is evaporation? Describe what happens at the molecular level during evaporation.

jasenka [17]

Evaporation happens when atoms or molecules escape from the liquid and turn into a vapor. Not all of the molecules in a liquid have the same energy. Sometimes a liquid can be sitting in one place (maybe a puddle) and its molecules will become a gas. That's the process called evaporation. It can happen when liquids are cold or when they are warm. It happens more often with warmer liquids. You probably remember that when matter has a higher temperature, the molecules have a higher energy. When the energy in specific molecules reaches a certain level, they can have a phase change. Evaporation is all about the energy in individual molecules, not about the average energy of a system. The average energy can be low and the evaporation still continues.

What is the concentration of no3- ions in a solution prepared by dissolving 15.0 g of ca(no3)2 in enough water to produce 300. m

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Ca(NO3)2 -------> Ca²⁺ +2NO3⁻

M(Ca(NO3)2)= M(Ca) + M(N) + 6M(O)= 40.0 +14.0 +6*16.0 = 150 g/mol

15.0 g Ca(NO3)2 * 1mol/150 g = 0. 100 mol Ca(NO3)2

Ca(NO3)2 -------> Ca²⁺ +2NO3⁻
1 mol 2 mol
0.100 mol 0.200 mol

We have 0.2 mol NO3⁻ in 300. mL=0.300 L of solution,
so
0.200 mol NO3⁻ / 0.300 L solution ≈ 0.667 mol NO3⁻ /L solution = 0.667 M

Concentration of NO3⁻ is 0.667 M.

A flask with a volume of 3.16 l contains 9.33 grams of an unknown gas at 32.0°c and 1.00 atm. What is the molar mass of the gas?

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

73.88 g/mol

Explanation:

For this question we have to keep in mind that the unknown substance is a gas, therefore we can use the ideal gas law:

$PV=nRT$
