Answer:

a, b and d are correct.

Explanation:

There are two types of attractive forces in covalent compounds:

The force that holds the atoms together in a molecule (the covalent bond).

The force that <u>operates between molecules</u>, called an intermolecular force.

Because intermolecular forces are usually quite weak compared with the forces holding atoms together within a molecule, <u>molecules of a covalent compound are not held together tightly</u>. Consequently, covalent compounds are usually gases, liquids, or low-melting solids.

Most covalent compounds aqueous solutions generally do not conduct electricity, because the compounds are nonelectrolytes.

The atomic masses of 151eu and 153eu are 150.919860 and 152.921243 amu, respectively. The average atomic mass of europium is 151

vitfil [10]

Answer:- The natural abundance of $^1^5^1_E_u$ is 0.478 or 47.8% and $^1^5^3_E_u$ is 0.522 or 52.2% .

Solution:- Average atomic mass of an element is calculated from the atomic masses of it's isotopes and their abundances using the formula:

Average atomic mass = mass of first isotope(abundance) + mass of second isotope(abundance)

We have been given with atomic masses for $^1^5^1_E_u$ and $^1^5^3_E_u$ as 150.919860 and 152.921243 amu, respectively. Average atomic mass of Eu is 151.964 amu.

Sum of natural abundances of isotopes of an element is always 1. If we assume the abundance of $^1^5^1_E_u$ as n then the abundance of $^1^5^3_E_u$ would be 1-n .

Let's plug in the values in the formula:

$151.964=150.919860(n)+152.921243(1-n)$

151.964=150.919860n+152.921243-152.921243n

on keeping similar terms on same side:

$151.964-152.921243=150.919860n-152.921243n$

$-0.957243=-2.001383n$

negative sign is on both sides so it is canceled:

$0.957243=2.001383n$

$n=\frac{0.957243}{2.001383}$

$n=0.478$

The abundance of $^1^5^1_E_u$ is 0.478 which is 47.8%.

The abundance of $^1^5^3_E_u$ is = $1-0.478$

= 0.522 which is 52.2%

Hence, the natural abundance of $^1^5^1_E_u$ is 0.478 or 47.8% and $^1^5^3_E_u$ is 0.522 or 52.2% .

Total these measurements. Your answer should indicate the proper accuracy.

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Total of all numbers added with the correct rounding and number of significant figures

Explanation:

1. Add up all the numbers

8.32+8.00+8.30+8.3

2. Determine how many significant figures should be in your final answer. When it comes to addition, it will be the fewest number of decimal places. since 8.3 has one decimal place, your final answer should only have one decimal place.

3. Round your final answer to the nearest tenths

A sample of Manganese (II) chloride has a mass of 19.8 grams before heating, and 12.6 grams after heating until all the water is

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

no. of water molecules associated to each molecule of $MnCl_2$ = 4

Explanation:

Mass of $MnCl_2$ before heating = 19.8 g

Mass of $MnCl_2$ after heating = 12.6 g

Difference in mass of $MnCl_2$ before and after heating

= 19.8 - 12.6 = 7.2 g

Difference in mass corresponds to mass of water driven out.

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

No. of moles of water = $\frac{7.2}{18} = 0.4\ mol$

Mass of $MnCl_2$ obtained after heating is mass of anhydrous $MnCl_2$ .

Mass of anhydrous $MnCl_2$ = 12.6 g

Molar mass of $MnCl_2$ = 125.9 g/mol

No. of mol of anhydrous $MnCl_2$ = $\frac{125.9}{125.9} = 0.1\ mol$

so,

0.1 mol of $MnCl_2$ have 0.4 mol of water

1 mol of $MnCl_2$ will have = $\frac{0.4}{0.1} =4\ mol$

Hence, no. of water molecules associated to each molecule of $MnCl_2$ = 4

Why do different substances have different Odors?

mixer [17]

Answer:

Substances generate a smell when their molecules land on so-called olfactory neurones in our noses (which, for some things, is a pretty unpleasant thought). ... But this fails to explain why some molecules with similar shapes can smell completely different, while others with quite different shapes can have a similar scent.

The pH of a solution is 2.0. Which statement is correct?

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

pH + pOH = 14, [H₃0⁺] [0H⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴

Explanation:

When it comes to questions involving pH, the equations used are;

[H₃0⁺] [0H⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴

This equation shows the concentration of hydroxonium ions alongside that of the hydroxide ions.

pH + pOH = 14

If the value of either the pH of the pOH is know,one can calculate the value of the other using this equation.
