Is KClO a molecular or ionic compound?

Chemistry

Xelga [282]3 years ago

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⁻

Calculate the concentration of chloride ions when 100.0 mL of 0.233 M sodium chloride is mixed with 250.0 mL of 0.150 M calcium
serg [7]
The dissociation of both salts NaCl and CaCl₂ are as follows;
NaCl --> Na⁺ + Cl⁻

CaCl₂ --> Ca²⁺ + 2Cl⁻

the molar ratio of NaCl to Cl⁻ is 1:1
therefore number of NaCl moles is equal to number of Cl⁻ ions dissociated from NaCl
then number of Cl⁻ ion moles - 0.233 mol/L x 0.1000 L = 0.0233 mol

molar ratio of CaCl₂ to Cl⁻ ions is 1:2
1 mol of CaCl₂ gives out 2 mol of Cl⁻ ions.
number of CaCl₂ moles - 0.150 mol/L x 0.2500 L  = 0.0375 mol 
then the number of Cl⁻ ion moles - 0.0375 x 2 = 0.0750 

total number of Cl⁻ ion moles = 0.0233 mol + 0.0750 mol = 0.0983 mol
volume of solution - 100.0 + 250.0 = 350.0 mL 

concentration of Cl⁻ = 0.0983 mol / 0.3500 L = 0.281 M
concentration of Cl⁻⁻ is 0.281 M

Vanyuwa [196]
<span>Answer: yes, when calcium hydroxide powder is placed into a hydrochloric acid solution, aqueous calcium hydroxide and water are formed.
</span>
<span /><span /><span>
Explanation:


</span><span>1) Calcium hydroxide is a base whose chemical formula is: Ca(OH)₂</span>
<span /><span>
2) Hydrochloric acid is the acid with chemical formula HCl


</span><span>3) Acids and bases react in a double replacement reaction forming salt plus water: Acid + Base → salt + water
</span>
<span /><span /><span>
4) The specific chemical equation for these reactants is:


</span><span>Ca(OH)₂ (s) + 2HCl(aq) → CaCl₂ (aq) + 2H₂O(l)</span>
<span /><span>
</span><span>5) CaCl₂ is calcium chloride, a salt,  and H₂O is water

If a hydrogen atom gains an electron, then
Kryger [21]
<span>The charge of the ion becomes negative. This is because electrons naturally come with a negative charge. Adding one electron will make the charge 1-, as it was a balanced atom before taking on the additional particle.</span>
