Answer:

KClO is an ionic compound

Explanation:

Compounds can be broadly classified as ionic and molecular (covalent).

Ionic compounds are compounds in which the atoms are linked by ionic bonds formed by the transfer of electrons between them. These are formed between a metal and non-metal.

Molecular compounds are compounds in which the atoms are linked by covalent bonds formed by the sharing of electrons between them. These are formed between two non-metals.

In the given compound, $KClO$ (potassium hyperchlorite), the potassium (K) atom is an alkali metal whereas the ClO moiety is composed of non-metals chlorine (Cl) and oxygen (O). Hence KClO is an ionic compound which exists as: K⁺ and ClO⁻

Answer: Boyle's Law

-----

Boyle's Law is the pressure-volume law and it relates pressure and volume at constant temperature. Boyle's law states that pressure and volume vary inversely, meaning that as one goes up, the other one goes down.

A solution is made by dissolving

barxatty [35]

Answer:

4.52 mol/kg

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of lithium fluoride = 22.1 g

Mass of water = 188 g

Molality = ?

Solution:

Molality:

It is the number of moles of solute into kilogram of solvent.

Formula:

Molality = number of moles of solute / kilogram solvent

Mathematical expression:

m = n/kg

Now we will convert the grams of LiF into moles.

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 22.1 g/ 26 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.85 mol

Now we will convert the g of water into kg.

Mass of water = 188 g× 1kg/1000 g = 0.188 kg

Now we will put the values in formula.

m = 0.85 mol / 0.188 kg

m = 4.52 mol/kg
