Answer: Option (e) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A bond that is formed when an electron is transferred from one atom to another results in the formation of an ionic bond.

For example, NaBr will be an ionic compound as there is transfer of electron from Na to Br.

Whereas a bond that is formed by sharing of electrons is known as a covalent bond.

For example, $CBr_{4}$ will be a covalent compound as there is sharing of electron between carbon and bromine atom.

Also, when electrons are shared between the combining atoms and there is large difference in electronegativity of these atoms then partial charges develop on these atoms. As a result, it forms a polar covalent bond.

For example, in a HBr compound there is sharing of electrons between H and Br. Also, due to difference in electronegativity there will be partial positive charge on H and partial negative charge on Br.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options HBr is the only compound that has polar covalent bonds.

Which statements are correct regarding the Law of Conservation of Matter and Energy?

Elden [556K]

Answer:

Matter or energy can change from one form to the other

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can only be transformed i.e. changed from one form to another. For example, mechanical energy can be changed to electrical energy.

Likewise, the law of conservation of mass/matter states that matter can not be destroyed or created but can change via physical or chemical means to conserve it. For example, matter can change from liquid state to gaseous state.

From the above two laws, it can be said that "matter or energy can change from one form to the other".

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), the intoxicant in alcoholic beverages, is also used to make other organic compounds. In concentrated sulfuri

Fed [463]

Answer:

a) 88.48%

b) 0.05625 mol

Explanation:

2CH₃CH₂OH(l) → CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃(l) + H₂O(g) Reaction 1

CH₃CH₂OH(l) → CH₂═CH₂(g) + H₂O(g) Reaction 2

a) CH₃CH₂OH = 46.0684 g/mol

CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃ = 74.12 g/mol

1 mol CH₃CH₂OH ______ 46.0684 g

x ______ 50.0 g

x = 1.085 mol CH₃CH₂OH

1 mol CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃ ______ 74.12 g g

y ______ 35.9 g

y = 0.48 mol CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃

100% yield _____ 0.5425 mol CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃

w _____ 0.48 mol CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃

w = 88.48%

b) Only 0.96 mol of ethanol reacted to form diethyl ether. This means that 0.125 mol of ethanol did not react. 45% of 0.125 mol reacted to form ethylene. Therefore, 0.05625 mol of ethanol reacted by the side reaction (reaction 2). Since 1 mol of ethanol leads to 1 mol of ethylene, 0.05625 mol of ethanol produces 0.05625 mol of ethylene.

A student performs three trials of a titration of an acid with an unknown concentration. She compares her measured concentration

Viktor [21]

Answer:

There are many errors possible while titrating the acid of an unknown concentration with a base like NaOH.

Main error that leads to the error in results is misreading of the end point volume .

End point is when the reaction between the analyte and solution of known concentration has stopped .

Sometimes Burette is not straight enough to read the volume of the end point. One way to misread the volume of burette is by looking at the burette volume at an angle .

From above , volume seems to be higher. Indicators are used to indicate the color change of the reaction. In Acid-Base titrations , indicators first lighten up then changes its color.

So, error may have occurred in wrongly judging of the end point by color change of the indicator .

Which statement concerning the hydrated hydrogen ion is incorrect? (a) Although we often represent hydrogen ions as bare protons

Harrizon [31]

Answer:C. The value of n for H+(H2O)n can be calculated for almost all solutions.

Explanation:

An hydrate can be described as a substance that contains water or with an hydrogen bonded water molecule group.

The hydrate group doesn't necessarily have a fixed formula.
