is it possible for two different compounds to be made from the exact same two elements? why or why not? with a limited number of

elements (less than 120 are known ) does this mean we also have a small number of compounds or do we have a large number of compounds in this world ?

Yes. The two elements can combine to form different compounds.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Two elements can combine at different ratios.

Consider CO and CO₂. Both are made from carbon and oxygen. However, C and O combine at a 1:1 ratio in CO but at a 1:2 ratio in CO₂. CO is a fuel; it burns in the air. CO₂ does not burn in the air; it is used to put out fires and is found in extinguishers. CO and CO₂ are two distinct compounds.

There are many ways for the elements to combine with each other. As a result, the first twenty elements on the periodic table alone can produce a large number of compounds.

andriy [413]

Answer:

c. CH4 < NH3 because the NH bond is more polar than the CH bond.

Explanation:

Actually, the electronegativity difference between carbon and hydrogen is just about 0.4. This meager difference in electronegativity corresponds to a nonpolar bond between the two atoms.

However, the electronegativity difference between nitrogen and hydrogen is about 0.9. This larger electronegativity difference corresponds to the existence of a polar covalent bond between the two atoms.

Hence the N-H bond is significantly polar unlike the C-H bond. This implies that CH4 molecules are only held together by weak dispersion forces while NH3 molecules are held together by stronger dipole-dipole interactions and hydrogen bonds.

If 5.0 g of copper metal reacts with a solution of silver nitrate, how many grams of silver metal are recovered?
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

16.9g

Explanation:Cu+2AgNO3→2Ag+Cu(NO3)2  

Cu will likely have a +2 oxidation state. It is higher in the activity series than Ag, so it is a stronger reducing agent and will reduce Ag in a displacement reaction. Then you need to balance the coefficients knowing than NO3 is -1 and Ag is +1.

Then to calculate the theoretical yield you need to compare moles of the reactants:

m(Cu)=5g

M(Cu)=63.55

n(Cu)=5/63.55=0.0787

By comparing coefficients you require twice as much silver: 0.157mol

n(Ag)=0.157

M(Ag)=107.86

m(Ag)=0.157x107.86=16.9g

Hence, the theoretical yield of this reaction would be 16.9g
