Not be soluble in water
AVprozaik [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A substance in which bond forming between the combining atoms is due to the sharing of electrons is known as a covalent bond.

For example, bond present in a Cl_{2} molecule is a covalent bond.

Some covalent bonds are non-polar in nature whereas water is a polar solvent. As it is known that like dissolves like.  

Therefore, covalent molecules will not be soluble in water as water is a polar molecule.

Thus, we can conclude that if a substance is covalent, then it likely will not be soluble in water.

How many atoms are in 5.2 moles of Na ?
Nastasia [14]

One mole of a substance is defined by Avogadro as consisting of 6.022 x 1023 atoms. This is Avogadro's number. To calculate the number of atoms in two moles of sodium, use dimensional analysis. 2.0 moles Na x 6.022⋅1023g1mol=1.20⋅1024 atoms of Na

Balance this equation<br> _Al +_HCI --&gt; _H2 +_AICIz
kumpel [21]

2Al+6HCl⇒3H₂+2AlCl₃

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Equalization of chemical reaction equations can be done using variables. Steps in equalizing the reaction equation:  

• 1. gives a coefficient on substances involved in the equation of reaction such as a, b, or c etc.  

• 2. make an equation based on the similarity of the number of atoms where the number of atoms = coefficient × index between reactant and product  

• 3. Select the coefficient of the substance with the most complex chemical formula equal to 1  

Reaction

Al+HCl⇒H₂+AlCl₃

  • Give coefficient

aAl+bHCl⇒cH₂+AlCl₃

  • Make equation

Al, left=a, right=1⇒a=1

Cl, left=b, right=3⇒b=3

H, left=b, right=2c⇒b=2c⇒3=2c⇒c=3/2

the equation becomes :

Al+3HCl⇒3/2H₂+AlCl₃ x2

2Al+6HCl⇒3H₂+2AlCl₃
