<u>Answer:</u> The number of formula units in the given amount of NaCl are 1.1\times 10^{18}

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Given mass of NaCl = 0.11 mg = 1.1\times 10^{-4}g      (Conversion factor:  1 g = 1000 mg)

Molar mass of NaCl = 58.5 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Moles of NaCl}=\frac{1.1\times 10^{-4}g}{58.5g/mol}=1.88\times 10^{-6}mol

According to mole concept:

1 mole of a compound contains 6.022\times 10^{23} number of formula units

So, 1.88\times 10^{-6}mol moles of NaCl will contain = (1.88\times 10^{-6}\times 6.022\times 10^{23})=1.1\times 10^{18} number of formula units

Hence, the number of formula units in the given amount of NaCl are 1.1\times 10^{18}

Which element, when combined with Iodine, would most likely form an ionic compound?
uranmaximum [27]

In an ionic compound the atoms are linked via ionic bonds. These are formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to the other. The atom that loses electrons gains a positive charge whereas the atom that accepts electrons gains a negative. This happens in accordance with the octet rule wherein each atom is surrounded by 8 electrons

In the given example:

The valence electron configuration of Iodine (I) = 5s²5p⁵

It needs only one electron to complete its octet.

In the given options:

K = 4s¹

C = 2s²2p²

Cl = 3s²3p⁵

P = 3s²3p³

Thus K can donate its valence electron to Iodine. As a result K, will gain a stable noble gas configuration of argon while iodine would gain an octet. This would also balance the charges as K⁺I⁻ creating a neutral molecule.

Ans: Potassium (K)

sergey [27]

Answer:

occur if two of the ions form an insoluble ionic compound, which precipitates out of solution

Explanation:

When two ionic compounds are dissolved in water, a double replacement reaction takes place if two of the ions form an insoluble ionic compound, which precipitates out of solution. In double displacement reaction ions switch partners. And hence, produce an insoluble precipitate.

Assume that the heat lost by the surface is gained by ethyl chloride. What enthalpies must you consider if you were to calculate
Ann [662]

Answer:

Specific heat of ethyl chloride in gas and liquid phases, enthalpy of vaporization and specific heat of solid surface.

Explanation:

In order to determine the final temperature, the heat lost by the chloride needs to be found. This would require the specific heat in both phases and the enthalpy of vaporization. (you will use q=mc(delta)T and q=m(delta)H)

Then the energy gained by the surface needs to be found. This will require the specific heat in order to use the q=mc(delta)T equation.
