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.

A chemist adds 485 mL of a 0.0025 mol/L calcium sulfate solution to a reaction flask. Calculate the mass in grams of calcium sul

viva [34]

Answer : The mass in grams of calcium sulfate is 0.16 grams.

Explanation :

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present in one litre of solution.

Formula used :

$Molarity=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution}}$

Solute is, $CaSO_4$

Given:

Molarity of $CaSO_4$ = 0.0025 mol/L

Molar mass of $CaSO_4$ = 136 g/mole

Volume of solution = 485 mL

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$0.0025=\frac{\text{Mass of }CaSO_4\times 1000}{136\times 485}$

$\text{Mass of }CaSO_4=0.16g$

Thus, the mass in grams of calcium sulfate is 0.16 grams.

What type of bond forms between two oxygen atoms

mr_godi [17]

Answer:A double convalescent bond is where two pairs of electrons are shared between the atoms rather than just one pair. Two oxygen atoms can both achieve stable structures by sharing two pairs of electrons as in the diagram.

How much heat must be transferred to 100.0g of water to change its temperature by 35° C?

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

14700J

Explanation:

From the question given, the following were obtained:

M = 100g

ΔT = 35° C

C = 4.2J/g °C

Q=?

The heat transferred can calculated for by using the following equation

Q = MCΔT

Q = 100 x 4.2 x 35

Q= 14700J
