Answer:

Ionic bonds transfer ions while covalent bonds equally share them.

Explanation:

In an ionic bond, ions are transferred between each other and ionic bonds form between a metal and nonmetal.

Covalent bonds are equally shared between atoms and form between non metals only.

Specifically, nonpolar covalent bonds are perfectly symmetrical with equal distribution of electrons while polar covalent bonds are asymmetrical and there is a difference in electronegativity.

In a first-order decomposition reaction, 50.0% of a compound decomposes in 10.5 min.

mihalych1998 [28]

In this reaction 50% of the compound decompose in 10.5 min thus, it is half life of the reaction and denoted by symbol $t_{1/2}$ .

(a) For first order reaction, rate constant and half life time are related to each other as follows:

$k=\frac{0.6932}{t_{1/2}}=\frac{0.6932}{10.5 min}=0.066 min^{-1}$

Thus, rate constant of the reaction is $0.066 min^{-1}$ .

(b) Rate equation for first order reaction is as follows:

$k=\frac{2.303}{t_{1/2}}log\frac{[A_{0}]}{[A_{t}]}$

now, 75% of the compound is decomposed, if initial concentration $[A_{0} ]$ is 100 then concentration at time t $[A_{t} ]$ will be 100-75=25.

Putting the values,

$0.066 min^{-1}=\frac{2.303}{t}log\frac{100}{25}=\frac{2.303}{t}(0.6020)$

On rearranging,

$t=\frac{2.303\times 0.6020}{0.066 min^{-1}}=21 min$

Thus, time required for 75% decomposition is 21 min.

A new element (solid at room temperature) is discovered that has:

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

A metalloid is a substance that has both the qualities of a metal and a non metal. Metals conduct electricity and have a high melting point.The element described does not conduct electricity until temperatures are reduced therefore it is not a metal. The fact that conduction occurs when temperatures are reduced means that it is not a non metal because non metals do not conduct electricity at all. Therefore the element is a metaloid because it exhibits some properties of a metal and others of a non mental.

At a pressure of 782.3 mm Hg and 34.4 °C, a certain gas has a volume of 362.4 mL. What will

german

Answer: v2=331.289mL

Explanation:

Formula for ideal gas law is p1v1/T1=p2v2/T2

P1=782.3mmHg

P2=769mmHg at STP

V1=362.4mL

V2=?

T1=273+34.4=307.4k

T2=273k at STP

Then apply the formula and make v2 the subject of formula

V2= 782.3×362.4×273/760×307.4

V2=77397006.96/233624

V2=331.289mL

Calculate for the following electrochemical cell at 25°C, Pt H2(g) (1.0 atm) H (0.010 M || Ag (0.020 M) Ag if E (H) - +0.000 V a

viva [34]

Answer : The correct option is, (b) +0.799 V

Solution :

The values of standard reduction electrode potential of the cell are:

$E^0_{[H^{+}/H_2]}=+0.00V$

$E^0_{[Ag^{+}/Ag]}=+0.799V$

From the cell representation we conclude that, the hydrogen (H) undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons and thus act as anode. Silver (Ag) undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

The half reaction will be:

Reaction at anode (oxidation) : $H_2\rightarrow 2H^{+}+2e^-$
