Answer:

Explanation:

When electron is transfer from metal to non metal anion and cations are formed and compound formed is called ionic compound.

Ionic bond:

It is the bond which is formed by the transfer of electron from metal to the atom of non metal.

Both bonded atoms have very large electronegativity difference. The atom with large electronegativity value accept the electron from other with smaller value of electronegativity thus the atom which accept the electron is form anion and metal atom which lose the electron is form cation .

For example:

Sodium chloride is ionic compound. The electronegativity of chlorine is 3.16 and for sodium is 0.93. There is large difference is present. That's why electron from sodium is transfer to the chlorine. Sodium becomes positive and chlorine becomes negative ion the compound form is called sodium chloride.

How many moles of CO are produced when 1.8 moles C reacts?

olasank [31]

Answer:

1.44mole of CO

Explanation:

The reaction equation is given as:

5C + 2SO₂ → CS₂ + 4CO

We check to see if the expression is balanced and it is so;

Now;

Given;

1.8mole of C reacted; how many moles of CO are produced;

From the balanced reaction equation:

5 mole of C is expected to produce 4 mole of CO

1.8 mole of C will then produce $\frac{4 x 1.8}{5}$ = 1.44mole of CO

A sample of a compound contains 32.0g C and 8.0g H. It’s molar mass is 30.0/mol. What is the compounds molecular formula?

liraira [26]

Answer:

Given mass of C is 32.0 grams
Given mass of H is 8.0 grams
Molar mass of C is 1212 g/mol
Molar mass of H is 1.01 g/mol

Thus
32.0 grams of C 8.0 grams of H →3212=2.66 moles of C→81.01=7.92 moles of H32.0 grams of C →3212=2.66 moles of C8.0 grams of H →81.01=7.92 moles of H

When we divide 7.92 by 2.66 we obtain 2.977 which is approximately 3. This means that the ratio of atoms of CC to the atoms of HH is 1:3.

Thus, empirical formula for the compound is CH3CH3.

Molar mass of CH3CH3 is 1⋅12+3⋅1.01=15.031⋅12+3⋅1.01=15.03. Since molar mass of the compound we have to find is 3030 g/mol we have tu multiply subscripts by 2.

Thus, final compound is C2H6C2H6.

Why does magnesium burn with a white flame? What does it say about the electron transitions that take place?

tia_tia [17]

The outer electron in magnesium is excited by absorbing the heat energy from the N=1 stage to higher energy levels when it starts to drop back down to the N=2 level it losses energy in the form of visible light this is part of the Balmer series

hope that helps
