Answer: The correct answer is sharing of electrons.

Explanation:

Covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when sharing of electrons takes place between the atoms. This is usually formed between two non-metals.

For Example: Formation of hydrogen chloride molecule

Electronic configuration of hydrogen = $1s^1$

Electronic configuration of chlorine = $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5$

Hydrogen and chlorine atoms are need only 1 electron to attain stable electronic configuration. So, they share electron and form covalent bond.

Hence, the correct answer is sharing of electrons.

The relatively high boiling point of water is due to water having

Verizon [17]

The answer should be hydrogen bonding. Water only has oxygen and hydrogen in it, which are both nonmetals, so you know the answer cannot be metallic or ionic. It also cannot be nonpolar because the electronegativity of the oxygens will make the molecule polar. You can also know it is hydrogen bonding because it can only take place when a hydrogen is attached to an oxygen, fluorine, or nitrogen. These bonds are very strong attractions, so the molecules are extremely hard to pull apart, creating a high boiling point. Hope that helps!

1) For the following reaction, 8.44 grams of carbon (graphite) are allowed to react with 9.63 grams of oxygen gas.C(graphite)(s)

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

The answers to the question are

(a) 13.24 g

(b) (O₂)

(2) 0.662 M/L

Explanation:

(a) To solve the question we write the equation as follows

C + O₂ → CO₂

That is one mole of graphite reacts with one mole of oxygen to form one mole of carbon dioxide

number of moles of graphite = 8.44/12 = 0.703 moles

number of moles of oxygen = 9.63/32 = 0.3009

However since one mole of graphite reacts with one mole of oxygen to form one mole of carbon dioxide, therefore, 0.3009 moles of oxygen will react with 0.3009 moles of carbon to fore 0.3009 moles of CO₂

The maximum mass of carbon dioxide that can be formed = mass = moles × molar mass

= 0.3009×44 = 13.24 g

(b) The formula for the limiting reagent (O₂)

Finding the limting reagent is by checking the mole balance of the reactants available to the moles specified in th stoichiometry of the reaction and selecting the reagent with the list number of moles

mass of excess reagent = 0.4021 × 12 = 4.8252 g

(2) The molarity is given by number of moles per liter of solution, therefore

molar mass of mgnesium iodide = 278.1139 g/mol, number of moles of magnesium iodide in 23 g = 23g/ 278.1139 g/mol= 8.3 × 10⁻² M

Therefore the moles in 125 mL = (8.3 × 10⁻² M)/(125 mL) = (8.3 × 10⁻² M)/(0.125 L) = 0.662 M/L

5. Durante un estudio de la velocidad de la reacción A2(g) + 3B2(g)  2 AB3(g), se observa que en un recipiente cerrado que cont

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

a) Speed of the reaction = 0.002083 mol/L.s

b) The rate of disappearance of A₂ during this period of time = 0.002083 mol/L.s

c) The rate of appearance of AB₃ = 0.004167 mol/L.s

Explanation:

English Translation

During a study of the reaction rate

A₂ (g) + 3B₂ (g) → 2 AB₃ (g),

it is observed that in a closed container containing a certain amount of A₂ and 0.75 mol / L of B₂, the concentration B₂ decreases to 0.5 mol / L in 40 seconds.

a) What is the speed of the reaction?

b) What is the rate of disappearance of A₂ during this period of time?

c) What is the rate of appearance of AB₃?

Solution

The rate of a chemical reaction is defined as the time rate at which a reactant is used up or the rate at which a product is formed.

It is the rate of change of the concentration of a reactant (rate of decrease of the concentration of the reactant) or a product (rate of increase in the concentration of the product) with time.

Mathematically, for a balanced reaction

aA → bB

Rate = -(1/a)(ΔA/Δt) = (1/b)(ΔB/Δt)

The minus sign attached to the change of the reactant's concentration indicates that the reactant's concentration decreases.

And the coefficients of each reactant and product in the balanced reaction normalize the rate of reaction for each of them

So, for our given reaction,

A₂ (g) + 3B₂ (g) → 2 AB₃ (g)

Rate = -(ΔA₂/Δt) = -(1/3)(ΔB₂/Δt) = (1/2)(ΔAB₃/Δt)

a) Speed of the reaction = Rate of the reaction

But we are given information on the change of concentration of B₂

Change in concentration of B₂ = ΔB₂ = 0.50 - 0.75 = -0.25 mol/L

Change in time = Δt = 40 - 0 = 40 s

(ΔB₂/Δt) = (-0.25/40) = -0.00625 mol/L.s

Rate of the reaction = -(1/3)(ΔB₂/Δt) = (-1/3) × (-0.00625) = 0.002083 mol/L.s

b) The rate of disappearance of A₂ during this period of time

Recall

Rate = -(ΔA₂/Δt) = -(1/3)(ΔB₂/Δt)

-(ΔA₂/Δt) = -(1/3)(ΔB₂/Δt)

Rate of disappearance of A₂ = -(ΔA₂/Δt) = -(1/3)(ΔB₂/Δt) = (-1/3) × (-0.00625) = 0.002083 mol/L.s

c) The rate of appearance of AB₃

Recall

Rate = -(1/3)(ΔB₂/Δt) = (1/2)(ΔAB₃/Δt)

(1/2)(ΔAB₃/Δt) = -(1/3)(ΔB₂/Δt)

(ΔAB₃/Δt) = -(2/3)(ΔB₂/Δt)

rate of appearance of AB₃ = (ΔAB₃/Δt) = -(2/3)(ΔB₂/Δt) = (-2/3) × (-0.00625) = 0.004167 mol/L.s

Hope this Helps!!!
