Answer: covalent bond.

Explanation:

A covalent bond is formed when an element shares its valence electron with another element. This bond is formed between two non metals.

An ionic bond is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element and the element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element. This bond is formed between a metal and an non-metal.

As $P_2I_4$ or Diphosphorus tetraiodide is made up of phosphorous and iodine which are both non metals , it is a covalent bond.

Diphosphorus tetraiodide is a covalent compound.

It has low melting point as compared to ionic compounds

It is a rare compound where the oxidation state of Phosphorous is +2.

It is also termed as subhalide of phosphorous.

So,

Formate has a resonating double bond.

In molecular orbital theory, the resonating electrons are actually delocalized and are shared between the two oxygens. So the carbon-oxygen bonds can be described as 1.5-bonds (option B). I'm not sure if option C is correct, however, because the likelihood of both delocalized electrons being in the area of one oxygen atom is less than 50%.

Using stoichiometry, determine the mass of powdered drink mix needed to make a 1.0 M solution of 100 mL from C12H22O11

fgiga [73]

Answer:

34.23 g.

Explanation:

Molarity is defined as the no. of moles of a solute per 1.0 L of the solution.

M = (no. of moles of solute)/(V of the solution (L)).

∴ M = (mass/molar mass)of C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁/(V of the solution (L)).

∴ mass of C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ = (M)(molar mass)(V of the solution (L) = (1.0 M)((342.3 g/mol)/(0.10 L) = 34.23 g.
