Which pair of elements form an ionic bond with each other?

1 answer:

8 0

1) KCl
Potassium Chloride is an ionic bond because it exists between a metal and a nonmetal. The Potassium ion is a cation, carrying a +1 charge; the Chlorine is an anion, carrying a -1 charge.

Several billion years ago, which gas was the least prevalent in the atmosphere?

Amiraneli [1.4K]

The least prevalent gas in the atmosphere was oxygen several billion years ago. This is because it was only around 2.4-3 billion years ago when the first photosynthetic bacteria evolved, meaning they produce food from inorganic compounds such as carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen. Oxygen is then released in the atmosphere and this is called The Great Oxygenation Event.

When a person in the hospital is given fluids intravenously, the fluid is typically a saline (salt) solution with about the same

Sati [7]

Answer:

Swelling of the red blood cells occurs.

Explanation:

Distilled water makes the blood hypotonic ,. that is a less concentrated solution, to the body tissues including the red blood cells.
Therefore the water will enter the red blood cells and may cause them to lyse or swell.
Additionally , water will enter the tissue spaces and cause sweling.
But in the case of a hypertonic solution , ( a salt or saline solution ) , This swelling does not happen because the concentration of the saline will be equal or more than the blood. 
Thus the water will flow only from the blood to the solution. This will not cause swelling.
But too much of salt is also not recommended.

Lithium carbonate, li2co3, contains 18.8 % lithium and is used in the treatment of mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder. wh

masha68 [24]

Assuming that the percentage composition is on the basis of weight percentage, therefore the mass of lithium would simply be the product of the two, that is:
mass Lithium = 0.188 * 1.70 g
mass Lithium = 0.3196 g = 0.32 g

(6 points) Alice owns 20 grams of a radioactive isotope that has a half-life of ln(4) years. (a) Find an equation for the mass m

Cloud [144]

Answer: The equation to calculate the mass of remaining isotope is $[A]=\frac{20}{10^{-0.217t}}$

Explanation:

The equation used to calculate rate constant from given half life for first order kinetics:

$t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

where,

$t_{1/2}$ = half life of the reaction = $\ln 4=1.386yrs$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$k=\frac{0.693}{1.386yrs}=0.5yrs^{-1}$

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by the equation:

$k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A_o]}{[A]}$

where,

k = rate constant = $0.5yr^{-1}$

t = time taken for decay process

$[A_o]$ = initial amount of the sample = 20 grams

[A] = amount left after decay process = ? grams

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.5=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{20}{[A]}$

$[A]=\frac{20}{10^{-0.217t}}$

Hence, the equation to calculate the mass of remaining isotope is $[A]=\frac{20}{10^{-0.217t}}$
