Answer:

Options A and C

Explanation:

In chemistry, an ionic compound is a chemical compound composed of ions held 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.

Option A - This is correct because In ionic compounds, electrons are tightly held by the ions, and the ions cannot move translationally relative to each other. This explains many properties of ionic solids. They are hard and brittle.

Option B and E - This is incorrect. Due to the electrons being tightly held and the ions not being able to move translationally, they are not malleable or ductile (i.e. cannot be shaped without cracking/breaking).

Option C - Ionic compounds have high melting points because there is a strong electrostatic force of attraction between the oppositely charged ions and hence a large amount of energy is required to break the strong bonding force between ions. This option is correct.

Option D - Ionic cmpounds have High Boiling point so this option is wrong.

A sound wave is traveling at 331 m/s and has a frequency of 126 Hz. What is the wavelength?

damaskus [11]

<h2>Answer</h2>

2.626984127 m

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

You have to know the equation that relates wavelength, frequency, and velocity (it's like speed but a bit different).

v = f x λ

where:

v = velocity

f = frequency

λ = Wavelength

Rearrange to make λ subject:

λ = v / f

We've been given 331 as the speed, 126 as the frequency. Sub it into the equation:

331 / 126 = 2.626984127 m

In determining nuclear binding energy, what is Einstein's equation used to do?

natita [175]

Basically this is used in calculating the nuclear binding energy by converting the mass defect (calculated first) to energy and if we recall, Einstein's equation E=mc2 is the perfection equation to use because E=mc2 in which E represents units of energy, m represents units of mass, and c 2 is the speed of light squared.

Water is poured into a conical container at the rate of 10 cm3/sec. The cone points directly down, and it has a height of 20 cm

8090 [49]

Answer:

\frac{dh}{dt}_{h=2cm} =\frac{40}{9\pi}\frac{cm}{2}

Explanation:

Hello,

The suitable differential equation for this case is:

$\frac{dV}{dt}=10\frac{cm^3}{s}$

As we're looking for the change in height with respect to the time, we need a relationship to achieve such as:

$\frac{dh}{dt} = ?*\frac{dV}{dt}$

Of course, $?=\frac{dh}{dV}$ .

Now, since the volume of a cone is $V=\pi r^2h/3$ and the ratio $r/h=15/20=3/4$ or $r=3/4h$ , the volume becomes:

$V=\pi (\frac{3}{4} h)^2h/3= \frac{3}{16}\pi h^3$

We proceed to its differentiation:

$\frac{dV}{dh} =\frac{9}{16} \pi h^2\\\frac{dh}{dV} =\frac{16}{9 \pi h^2}$

Then, we compute $\frac{dh}{dt}$

$\frac{dh}{dt} = \frac{16}{9 \pi h^2}*\frac{dV}{dt}\\\frac{dh}{dt} = \frac{16}{9\pi h^2}*10\frac{cm^3}{s} =\frac{160}{9 \pi h^2}$

Finally, at h=2:

$\frac{dh}{dt}_{h=2cm} =\frac{160}{9\pi 2^2}\\\frac{dh}{dt}_{h=2cm} =\frac{40}{9\pi}\frac{cm}{s}$

Best regards.

When calcium metal (Ca) reacts with oxygen gas (O2), it produces the ionic compound calcium oxide (CaO). Write the balanced equa

malfutka [58]

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is

2Ca(s) + O₂(g) → 2CaO(s)

and

The process meets the requirements to be considered a redox reaction.

From the question,

We are to write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction between Calcium metal and oxygen gas

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is

2Ca(s) + O₂(g) → 2CaO(s)

This is the balanced chemical equation for the reaction

To determine whether the reaction meets the requirements to be considered a redox reaction,

We will define the term <em>redox reaction</em>

A <em>redox reaction</em>, also called oxidation-reduction reaction, is any chemical reaction in which the oxidation number of a participating chemical species changes.

From the balanced equation above we can observe that the oxidation number of the participating species(Calcium and oxygen) changed.

The oxidation number of Calcium changed from 0 to +2

and

The oxidation number of Oxygen changed from 0 to -2

∴ The process meets the requirements to be considered a redox reaction.

Hence, the balanced chemical equation for the reaction is

2Ca(s) + O₂(g) → 2CaO(s)

and

The process meets the requirements to be considered a redox reaction.
