<h3>What are decomposition reactions?</h3>

Decomposition reactions are type of reactions in which a compound is broken down into two or more products.

When a soluble substance or a compound is dissolved in water it forms an aqueous solution.
When this happens the soluble compound such as ionic compounds ionizes to form ions.
This is an example of decomposition reaction, since the ionic compound decomposes it ions making it.
For example, sodium sulfide is an ionic compound that ionizes in water to form sodium and sulfide ions.

That is;

Na₂S(s) → 2Na⁺(aq) + S²⁻(aq)

What volume of 12M HCI is needed to prepare 250<br> of 0.20M HCI?

Alchen [17]

Answer: 4.2

Explanation:

$M_{A}V_{A}=M_{B}V_{B}\\(12)V_{A}=(250)(0.20)\\V_{A}=\frac{(250)(0.20)}{12}=\boxed{4.2}$

lassify these bonds as ionic, polar covalent, or nonpolar covalent. Ionic Polar covalent Nonpolar covalent

jarptica [38.1K]

The question is incomplete, complete question is:

Classify these bonds as ionic, polar covalent, or nonpolar covalent.

Na-F

P-Cl

Cl-Cl

Answer:

Na-F : The bond present is ionic bond.

PCl : The bond present is polar covalent bond.

ClCl : The bond present is non polar covalent bond.

Explanation:

1) Ionic bonds are defined as the bonds which are formed by the complete transfer of electrons from cation (positively charged ions) to anion (negatively charged ions). For Example: NaCl, $BaSO_4$ etc.

Ionic compound :This compound is formed when difference in electronegativity between the atoms is very large.

2) Covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms. For Example: HCl, $CH_4$ etc.

Polar covalent compound: This compound is formed when difference in electronegativity between the atoms is present. When atoms of different elements combine, it results in the formation of polar covalent bond. For Example: $CO_2,NO_2$ etc..

Non-polar covalent compound: This compound is formed when there is no difference in electronegativity between the atoms. When atoms of the same element combine, it results in the formation of non-polar covalent bond. For Example: $N_2,O_2$ etc.

Na-F : Two different atoms with high electronegativity difference

Ionic compound because sodium is metal and fluorine is non metal and the difference between their electronegativity is very large.The bond present is ionic bond.

PCl : Two different atoms with low electronegativity difference

Polar covalent compound because phosphorus and fluorine both are non metal and the difference between their electronegativity is not very large.The bond present is polar covalent bond.

ClCl : Two same atoms with nil electronegativity difference.

Non Polar covalent compound because both are chlorine atom (non metal) and the difference between their electronegativity is zero.The bond present is non polar covalent bond.

Can someone help Plz

Marrrta [24]

Answer: A. 1.60 liters

Explanation:

$2Na_2O_2+2CO_2\rightarrow 2Na_2CO_3+O_2$

As can be seen from the balanced chemical equation, 2 moles of $CO_2$ produce 1 mole of $O_2$ .

According to Avogadro's law, every 1 mole of the gas occupies 22.4 liters at STP.

Thus $2$ moles of $CO_2$ occupies $22.4\times 2=44.8L$ at STP and produce 1 mole of $O_2$ i.e. 22.4 L

44.8 L of $CO_2$ will produce 22.4 L of $O_2$

Thus $3.20L$ of $CO_2$ will produce $\frac{22.4}{44.8}\times 3.20=1.60L$

Amiraneli [1.4K]

The question is incomplete, this is the complete question;

In the process of attempting to characterize a substance, a chemist makes the following observations. Which are physical properties and which are chemical properties?

(a) The substance is a silvery white, lustrous metal.

(b) The substance melts at 649 ∘C

(d) The density of the substance at 20 ∘C is 1.738 g/cm³.

(e) The substance burns in air, producing an intense white light.

(f) The substance reacts with chlorine to give a brittle white solid.

(g) The substance can be pounded into thin sheets or drawn into wires.

(h) The substance is a good conductor of electricity.

Answer:

(a) Physical

(b) Physical

(d) Physical

(e) Chemical

(f) Chemical

(g) Physical

(h) Physical

Explanation:

(a) The substance is a silvery white, lustrous metal - is appearance which is physical.

(b) The substance melts at 649 ∘C metling point is a physical measurement

(d) The density of the substance at 20 ∘C is 1.738 g/cm3 how heavy a substance is,is physical.

(e) The substance burns in air, producing an intense white light. Burning is a chemical change. It is a reaction of a substance with oxygen

(f) The substance reacts with chlorine to give a brittle white solid. This is a chemical reaction as the question says.

(g) The substance can be pounded into thin sheets or drawn into wires. Ductility is a physical change, the substance remains chemically unchanged

(h) The substance is a good conductor of electricity. Any conductivity is physical, the substance remains chemically unchanged
