Which statement best describes the properties of covalent compounds

1 answer:

Most covalent compounds have relatively low melting points and boiling points. Covalent compounds usually have lower enthalpies of fusion and vaporization than ionic compounds. Covalent compounds tend to be more flammable than ionic compounds. When dissolved in water, they don't conduct electricity.

How do you find the atomic weight of an atom?

wariber [46]

Answer: The atomic weight of any atom can be found by multiplying the abundance of an isotope of an element by the atomic mass of the element and then adding the results together. This equation can be used with elements with two or more isotopes: Carbon-12: 0.9889 x 12.0000 = 11.8668. Carbon-13: 0.0111 x 13.0034 = 0.1443.

I really need help with this question please help me.

oksano4ka [1.4K]

I would say A because it’s the only one that doesn’t conduct electricity. Ionic compounds conduct electricity, and covalent compounds do not.

calculate the mass of calcium phosphate and the mass of sodium chloride that could be formed when a solution containing 12.00g o

Leviafan [203]

Answer : The mass of calcium phosphate and the mass of sodium chloride that formed could be, 9.3 and 10.5 grams respectively.

Explanation : Given,

Mass of $Na_3PO_4$ = 12.00 g

Mass of $CaCl_2$ = 10.0 g

Molar mass of $Na_3PO_4$ = 164 g/mol

Molar mass of $CaCl_2$ = 111 g/mol

Molar mass of $NaCl$ = 58.5 g/mol

Molar mass of $Ca_3(PO_4)_2$ = 310 g/mol

First we have to calculate the moles of $Na_3PO_4$ and $CaCl_2$ .

$\text{Moles of }Na_3PO_4=\frac{\text{Given mass }Na_3PO_4}{\text{Molar mass }Na_3PO_4}$

$\text{Moles of }Na_3PO_4=\frac{12.00g}{164g/mol}=0.0732mol$

and,

$\text{Moles of }CaCl_2=\frac{\text{Given mass }CaCl_2}{\text{Molar mass }CaCl_2}$

$\text{Moles of }CaCl_2=\frac{10.0g}{111g/mol}=0.0901mol$

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is:

$2Na_3PO_4+3CaCl_2\rightarrow 6NaCl+Ca_3(PO_4)_2$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 3 mole of $CaCl_2$ react with 2 mole of $Na_3PO_4$

So, 0.0901 moles of $CaCl_2$ react with $\frac{2}{3}\times 0.0901=0.0601$ moles of $Na_3PO_4$

From this we conclude that, $Na_3PO_4$ is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and $CaCl_2$ is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of $NaCl$ and $Ca_3(PO_4)_2$

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 3 mole of $CaCl_2$ react to give 6 mole of $NaCl$

So, 0.0901 mole of $CaCl_2$ react to give $\frac{6}{3}\times 0.0901=0.1802$ mole of $NaCl$

and,

As, 3 mole of $CaCl_2$ react to give 1 mole of $Ca_3(PO_4)_2$

So, 0.0901 mole of $CaCl_2$ react to give $\frac{1}{3}\times 0.0901=0.030$ mole of $Ca_3(PO_4)_2$

Now we have to calculate the mass of $NaCl$ and $Ca_3(PO_4)_2$

$\text{ Mass of }NaCl=\text{ Moles of }NaCl\times \text{ Molar mass of }NaCl$

$\text{ Mass of }NaCl=(0.1802moles)\times (58.5g/mole)=10.5g$

and,

$\text{ Mass of }Ca_3(PO_4)_2=\text{ Moles of }Ca_3(PO_4)_2\times \text{ Molar mass of }Ca_3(PO_4)_2$

$\text{ Mass of }Ca_3(PO_4)_2=(0.030moles)\times (310g/mole)=9.3g$

Therefore, the mass of calcium phosphate and the mass of sodium chloride that formed could be, 9.3 and 10.5 grams respectively.

Why is this flower able to self-pollinate

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

A flower is self-pollinated if pollen is transferred to it from any flower of the same plant and cross-pollinated if the pollen comes from a flower on a different plant.

Explanation:

This is because each flower is capable of fertilizing itself by autogamy. Autogamy means that the male part of a flower sends pollen to the female part of the same flower.

What is the volume of 68.0 g of ether if the density of ether is 0.72 g/mL?

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

94.44

Explanation:

Volume is equal to Mass/Density so therefore, you do the mass which is 68.0 g/0.72 g/mL which is the density and get 94.44 mL because the g cancel each other out when it comes to the label!
