Which of the following is a property of an ionic compound?

1 answer:

3 0

Ionic compound is a chemical compound composed of ionsheld together by electrostatic forces termed ionic bonding. The compound is neutral overall, but consists of positively charged ions called cations and negatively charged ions called anions. These can be simple ions such as the sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl−) in sodium chloride, or polyatomic species such as the ammonium (NH+
4) and carbonate (CO2−
3) ions in ammonium carbonate. Individual ions within an ionic compound usually have multiple nearest neighbours, so are not considered to be part of molecules, but instead part of a continuous three-dimensional network, usually in a crystalline structure.

Ionic compounds containing hydrogen ions (H+) are classified as acids, and those containing basic ions hydroxide (OH−) or oxide (O2−) are classified as bases. Ionic compounds without these ions are also known as salts and can be formed by acid–base reactions. Ionic compounds can also be produced from their constituent ions by evaporation of their solvent, precipitation, freezing, a solid-state reaction, or the electron transfer reaction of reactivemetals with reactive non-metals, such as halogen gases.

Ionic compounds typically have high melting and boiling points, and are hardand brittle. As solids they are almost always electrically insulating, but when melted or dissolved they become highly conductive, because the ions are mobilized.

Read the passage "Ants" in the box below.

Alona [7]

Answer:

C) Carla participated in an artistic activity, while Maurice participated in a scientific activity.

Explanation:

Scientific activities involve making observations, which ultimately leads to the series of steps that aims at solving the observed problem or answering a question that arises from the problem. This is the case of Maurice who is observing and recording information about ants in order to solve a curiosity (about what they feed on).

However, on the other hand, Carla is given a pictorial representation of the ants and what they carry. It is not based on curiosity or to answer a question about the ants but rather for decoration or aesthetic purposes, which is what makes her activity artistic.

I have to find the element being oxidized, reduced, and the oxidizing agent please help me!!

Scorpion4ik [409]

I hope my photo helps. since oxygen goes from a charge of 0 to -2, it gains electrons because electrons have a negative charge. nitrogen goes from 0 to +2 meaning that it is losing electrons to make it a positive charge.

Be sure to answer all parts. The standard enthalpy of formation and the standard entropy of gaseous benzene are 82.93 kJ/mol and

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer : The values of $\Delta H^o,\Delta S^o\text{ and }\Delta G^o$ are $33.89kJ,95.94J/K\text{ and }5.299kJ/mol$ respectively.

Explanation :

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$C_6H_6(l)\rightarrow C_6H_6(g)$

First we have to calculate the enthalpy of reaction $(\Delta H^o)$ .

$\Delta H^o=H_f_{product}-H_f_{reactant}$

$\Delta H^o=[n_{C_6H_6(g)}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(C_6H_6(g))}]-[n_{C_6H_6(l)}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(C_6H_6(l))}]$

where,

$\Delta H^o$ = enthalpy of reaction = ?

n = number of moles

$\Delta H_f^0_{(C_6H_6(g))}$ = standard enthalpy of formation of gaseous benzene = 82.93 kJ/mol

$\Delta H_f^0_{(C_6H_6(l))}$ = standard enthalpy of formation of liquid benzene = 49.04 kJ/mol

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$\Delta H^o=[1mole\times (82.93kJ/mol)]-[1mole\times (49.04J/mol)]$

$\Delta H^o=33.89kJ/mol=33890J/mol$

Now we have to calculate the entropy of reaction $(\Delta S^o)$ .

$\Delta S^o=S_f_{product}-S_f_{reactant}$

$\Delta S^o=[n_{C_6H_6(g)}\times \Delta S^0_{(C_6H_6(g))}]-[n_{C_6H_6(l)}\times \Delta S^0_{(C_6H_6(l))}]$

where,

$\Delta S^o$ = entropy of reaction = ?

n = number of moles

$\Delta S^0_{(C_6H_6(g))}$ = standard entropy of formation of gaseous benzene = 269.2 J/K.mol

$\Delta S^0_{(C_6H_6(l))}$ = standard entropy of formation of liquid benzene = 173.26 J/K.mol

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$\Delta S^o=[1mole\times (269.2J/K.mol)]-[1mole\times (173.26J/K.mol)]$

$\Delta S^o=95.94J/K.mol$

Now we have to calculate the Gibbs free energy of reaction $(\Delta G^o)$ .

As we know that,

$\Delta G^o=\Delta H^o-T\Delta S^o$

At room temperature, the temperature is $25^oC\text{ or }298K$ .

$\Delta G^o=(33890J)-(298K\times 95.94J/K)$

$\Delta G^o=5299.88J/mol=5.299kJ/mol$

Therefore, the values of $\Delta H^o,\Delta S^o\text{ and }\Delta G^o$ are $33.89kJ,95.94J/K\text{ and }5.299kJ/mol$ respectively.
