Which of the following values best classifies a bond between 2 atoms as being ionic?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Kobotan [32]3 years ago
7 0

Answer is: A. An electronegativity difference of greater than 1.7 between the atoms.

Electronegativity (χ) is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

Atoms with higher electronegativity attracts more electrons towards it, electrons are closer to that atom.

For example, in ionic salt sodium fluoride (NaF), fluorine has electronegativity approximately χ = 4 and sodium χ = 1 (Δχ = 4 - 1; Δχ = 3), fluorine attracts electron and it has negative charge and sodium has positive charge.

The general rule followed is that if electronegativity difference is greater than 2, then it is considered an ionic bond. An ionic bond is a type of bond characterizing a transfer of electrons within a bond. Common examples are salts which adds that ionic bonds are common between a metal and a nonmetal. Therefore, the best answer from above is letter B.

Which phrase best describes the bond in H2?
Gala2k [10]

Answer and Explanation:

Two hydrogen atoms, each containing one electron, approach each other in the formation of a molecule of hydrogen. Each atom needs a total of two electrons to fill their outermost energy level and make them stable. The best choice is to share their single electrons. Hence, a pair of bonding electrons is shared between the hydrogen atoms in the molecules.

This constitutes a single covalent bond. Hence, the correct option is B)

A solution is made by mixing 33.0 ml of ethanol, C2H6O and 67.0 ml of water. Assuming ideal behavior, what is the vapor pressure
ivann1987 [24]
Grams ethanol = 33 ml times .789 gms/ml = 26.037 gms 

<span>Moles ethanol = 26.037 gms / 46 gms/mole = .57 moles </span>

<span>Moles water = 67 ml or 67 grams/18 gms/mole = 3.22 moles </span>

<span>total moles = .57 + 3.72 = 4.29 moles </span>

<span>Mole fraction ethanol = .57 moles ethanol / 4.29 moles total = 0.13</span>

<span>Moles fraction water = 3.72 moles water / 4.29 moles total = 0.87</span>

<span>Partial pressure of ethanol = mole fraction ethanol (.13) _ times VP ethanol 43.9 torr) = 5.707 torr </span>

<span>partial pressure water = mole fraction water .87) times VP water (l7.5 torr) = 15.23 torr </span>

<span>Total vapor pressure over solution = 5.71 torr + 15.23 torr = 20.94 torr</span>

A balloon has a volume of 3.0 L at room temperature (27oC). At what temperature would the balloon have a volume of 4.0L?
diamong [38]

Answer: 400K

Explanation:

Given that,

Original volume of balloon V1 = 3.0L

Original temperature of balloonT1 = 27°C

Convert the temperature in Celsius to Kelvin

(27°C + 273 = 300K)

New volume of balloon V2 = 4.0L

New temperature of balloon T2 = ?

Since volume and temperature are given while pressure is constant, apply the formula for Charle's law

V1/T1 = V2/T2

3.0L/300K = 4.0L/T2

To get the value of T2, cross multiply

3.0L x T2 = 4.0L x 300K

3.0LT2 = 1200LK

Divide both sides by 3.0L

3.0LT2/3.0L = 1200LK/3.0L

T2 = 400K

Thus, at a temperature of 400 Kelvin, the balloon would have a volume of 4.0L.

Should a homeowner expect more caco3 buildup in hot water pipes or cold water pipes
Arturiano [62]
Answer:
             CaCO₃ built up in hot water pipes

Explanation:

The hardness of water is classified as;

Permanent Hard Water:
                                     In this the mineral content cannot be removed by boiling. This water contains mainly following,

                                        Calcium Sulfate  CaSO₄

                                        Calcium Chloride   CaCl₂

                                        Magnesium Sulfate   MgSO₄

                                        Magnesium Chloride   MgCl₂

These salts does not precipitate out on heating water.

Temporary Hard Water:
                                     In this water the mineral content can be removed by boiling. This water contains mainly following,

                                        Calcium Bicarbonate  Ca(HCO₃)₂

                                        Calcium Carbonate  CaCO₃

                                        Magnesium Bicarbonate   Mg(HCO₃)₂

                                        Magnesium Carbonate  MgCO₃

These salts does not precipitate out on heating water. i.e.

                Ca(HCO₃)₂    -------heat------>    CaCO₃  +  CO₂  +  H₂O

The CaCO₃ are formed in the form of scales.

Result:
           Hence, we can say that that CaCO₃ built up in hot water pipes.
