Answer: A: high ionization energies; high electron affinitlies.

Explanation: Covalent bonds are basically about sharing of electrons between two atoms to achieve that stable structure. They are formed between two atoms when both have similar tendencies to attract electrons to themselves (i.e., when both atoms have identical or fairly similar ionization energies and electron affinities). Covalent bonding usually occurs between two non-metals.

For effective and proper bonding, the two atoms involved in the covalent bonding exercise should be small and hungry for electrons. This is to enable the nuclei of both atoms to effectively attract and hold the shared electron(s) in place; hence, the need for high ionization energies & high electron affinities for a more effective covalent bonding.

What is the maximum concentration of Ag⁺ that can be added to a 0.00750 M solution of Na₂CO₃ before a precipitate will form? (Ks

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{1.64\times 10^{-5}\text{ mol/L }}$

Explanation:

Ag₂CO₃(s) ⇌2Ag⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq); Ksp = 8.10 × 10⁻¹²

2x 0.007 50 + x

$K_{sp} =\text{[Ag$^{+}$]$^{2}$[CO$_{3}^{2-}$]} = (2x)^{2}\times 0.00750 = 8.10 \times 10^{-12}\\0.0300x^{2} = 8.10 \times 10^{-12}\\x^{2} = 2.70 \times 10^{-10}\\x = \sqrt{2.70 \times 10^{-10}} = \mathbf{1.64\times 10^{5}} \textbf{ mol/L}\\\text{The maximum concentration of Ag$^{+}$ is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{1.64\times 10^{-5}}\textbf{ mol/L }}$}$

A chemist adds 485 mL of a 0.0025 mol/L calcium sulfate solution to a reaction flask. Calculate the mass in grams of calcium sul

viva [34]

Answer : The mass in grams of calcium sulfate is 0.16 grams.

Explanation :

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present in one litre of solution.

Formula used :

$Molarity=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution}}$

Solute is, $CaSO_4$

Given:

Molarity of $CaSO_4$ = 0.0025 mol/L

Molar mass of $CaSO_4$ = 136 g/mole

Volume of solution = 485 mL

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$0.0025=\frac{\text{Mass of }CaSO_4\times 1000}{136\times 485}$

$\text{Mass of }CaSO_4=0.16g$

Thus, the mass in grams of calcium sulfate is 0.16 grams.

C. identify a set of four possible quantum numbers for the circled electron in manganese (mn). (there is more than one correct a

steposvetlana [31]

Although you have not provided the circled electron, I can help you with a wide explanation.

1) Atomic number of manganese is 25. That means that it has 25 protons and 25 electrons.

2) Those 25 electrons are distributed (electron configuration) as per the quantum rules:

1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d⁵

3) The most reasonable is that you have been asked to give the possible quantum numbers for an electron in the 4s or 3d.

4) Those are 7 electrons and these are their possible sets of quantum numbers:
i) For the two electrons in 4s:
n is the main energy level so n = 4
l tells the kind of orbital, which is s, so l = 0
ml is also 0 (it can be from -l to + l, so given that l i s0, ml is 0)
ms: one is +/12 and the other is -1/2 (this is the spin number).

ii) For the 5 electrons in 3d

n = 3
l can be 0, 1, or 2
if l = 0, then ml = 0

if l = 1, then ml can be -1, 0 , or 1 (from - l to + l)

ms can be either +1/2 or - 1/2 (spin)
