Why is sodium chloride not a mixture? Why is sodium chloride a compound?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Anvisha [2.4K]3 years ago

Answer:Sodium chloride solid is not a mixture. ... It cannot be physically separated into its components, Na+ and Cl−

Explanation:Sodium chloride is formed when sodium atoms interact with chlorine atoms. When this occurs, sodium will donate an electron (which is a negatively-charged particle) to chlorine. This makes sodium slightly positive and chlorine slightly negative.

Opposite charges attract, right? So then, sodium ions will attract chloride ions and form an ionic bond. By the way, chloride is the term used to designate the anion form of chlorine. The result is a crystallized salt that has properties that are different from the two parent elements (sodium and chlorine). The chemical formula for sodium chloride is NaCl, which means that for every sodium atom present, there is exactly one chloride atom.

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

806.3g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

 Number of moles of silver nitrate  = 4.85mol

Unknown:

Mass of silver chromate = ?

Solution:

         2AgNO₃ + Na₂CrO₄  →  Ag₂CrO₄ + 2NaNO₃

To solve this problem, we work from the known to the unknown;

  • The known specie here is  AgNO₃ ;

   From the balanced chemical equation;

          2 moles of AgNO₃  will produce 1 mole of Ag₂CrO₄

          4.85 moles of AgNO₃  will produce \frac{4.85}{2}   = 2.43moles of Ag₂CrO₄

  • Mass of silver chromate produced;

        mass = number of moles x molar mass

   Molar mass of  Ag₂CrO₄

    Atomic mass of Ag = 107.9g/mol

                                 Cr  = 52g/mol

                                  O  = 16g/mol

  Input the parameters and solve;

     Molar mass  = 2(107.9) + 52 + 4(16) = 331.8g/mol

  So,

        Mass of Ag₂CrO₄ = 2.43 x 331.8 = 806.3g

Describe the modern system of classification. Help please!
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

its called TAXON0MY

Explanation:

they are classified in eight steps namely doma!n, k!ngdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and spec!es

but sometimes we do not include doma!n

if you want to name an organism you use both the genus group and the spec!es group

Example:

The scientific name for humans like us is h0m0 sap!ens

H0m0- This is our genus group

sap!ens- This is our spec!es group

sorry for using the exclamation mark it means i
