<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

Hydrogen's valence shell can hold only up to two electrons.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <em><u>Covalent bonds are types of bonds that are formed between non-metals as a result of sharing electrons between atoms. Atoms will covalently bond with other atoms in order to gain more stability, which is gained by forming a full electron shell. </u></em>
  • By sharing their outer most electrons, atoms can fill up their outer electron shell and gain stability.
  • <em><u>According to octet rule, When atoms react, they tend to achieve an outer shell having eight electrons. This is not the case for hydrogen as it obtains a stable valence shell configuration by sharing a single pair of electrons with another atom. </u></em>

The equation for the reaction, BaCl2(aq) + K2CrO4(aq) → BaCrO4(s) + KCl(aq), can be written as an ionic equation. In the ionic e
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

The Cl⁻ and K⁺ are spectator ions.

Explanation:

Balanced Chemical equation:

BaCl₂(aq) + K₂CrO₄(aq)   →   BaCrO₄(s) + 2KCl (aq)

Ionic equation:

Ba²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq) + 2K⁺(aq) + CrO₄²⁻(aq) → BaCrO₄(s) + 2k⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻ (aq)

Net ionic equation:

Ba²⁺(aq)  + CrO₄²⁻(aq)  →  BaCrO₄(s)

The Cl⁻ and K⁺ are spectator ions that's why these are not written in net ionic equation. The BaCrO₄ can not be splitted into ions because it is present in solid form.

Spectator ions:

These ions are same in both side of chemical reaction. These ions are cancel out. Their presence can not effect the equilibrium of reaction that's why these ions are omitted in net ionic equation.

How many moles are in 6.97g of Chromium?
mariarad [96]

Answer:

0.134 moles

Explanation:

In order to solve this, we need to find the molar mass of Chromium, which we can see from the periodic table: it is 51.996 g/mol.

Now, we need to set up an equation to convert grams to moles:

6.97 grams*\frac{1mol}{51.996grams} =0.134mol

Thus, the answer is 0.134 moles of Chromium.

Calculate the following question​
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

pH = 1

Explanation:

To determine the pH you must follow this rule:

[H⁺] = 0.1 M

pH = - log [H⁺]

pH = 1

This is an acid solution
