Answer:

Cohesion

Explanation:

Cohesion tension theory of water movement up the tree vessels

Cohesion is the term used to describe the binding forces present in water molecules through hydrogen bonds as such the water molecules have considerable tensile strenghth allowing them to be pulled up into the leaves of plants through the tree vessels without breakage as longitutudinal stress are placed on the water as it is pulled up

Copper has two naturally occurring isotopes, ⁶³Cu (isotopic mass = 62.9296 amu) and ⁶⁵Cu (isotopic mass = 64.9278 amu). If copper has an atomic mass of 63.546 amu,

Abundance of ⁶³Cu and ⁶⁵Cu ; 70% , 30.848%

<h3>Calculation : </h3>

Let the natural abundance of 63, Cu isotope be x%.

The natural abundance of

Cu isotope will be 100−x.

The average atomic weight is 63.546 g.

Hence, 100×63.546=63x+65(100−x)

6354.6=63x+6500−65x=6500−2x

2x=145.4

x=72.7≃70

Hence, the natural abundance of the 63Cu isotope must be approximately 70%.

For the ⁶⁵Cu calculation is same and the answer is 30.848%

<h3>What is isotope ?</h3>

Isotopes are members of a family of elements that all have the same number of protons and different numbers of neutrons. The number of protons in the nucleus determines the atomic number of an element on the periodic table.

Example : Magnesium has three natural isotopes : ²⁴Mg, ²⁵Mg, and ²⁶Mg.

<h3>What is Atomic mass ?</h3>

Atomic mass is the mass of an atom. The SI unit of mass is the kilogram, while atomic mass is often expressed in the non-SI unit dalton (synonymous with uniform atomic mass unit). 1 Da is defined as 1/12 the mass of a free carbon-12 atom at rest in the ground state.

Theoretically, what mass of [Co(NH3)4(H2O)2]Cl2 could be produced from 4.00 g of CoCl2•6H2O starting material. If 1.20 g of [Co(

Romashka [77]

<u>Answer:</u> The theoretical yield and percent yield of $[Co(NH_3)_4(H_2O)_2]Cl_2$ is 3.93 g and 30.53 % respectively

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

Given mass of $CoCl_2.6H_2O$ = 4.00 g

Molar mass of $CoCl_2.6H_2O$ = 238 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of }CoCl_2.6H_2O=\frac{4.00g}{238g/mol}=0.0168mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of $CoCl_2.6H_2O$ to form $[Co(NH_3)_4(H_2O)_2]Cl_2$ follows:

$CoCl_2.6H_2O+4NH_3\rightarrow [Co(NH_3)_4(H_2O)_2]Cl_2+4H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of $CoCl_2.6H_2O$ produces 1 mole of $[Co(NH_3)_4(H_2O)_2]Cl_2$

So, 0.0168 moles of $CoCl_2.6H_2O$ will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0168=0.0168mol$ of $[Co(NH_3)_4(H_2O)_2]Cl_2$

Now, calculating the mass of $[Co(NH_3)_4(H_2O)_2]Cl_2$ from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of $[Co(NH_3)_4(H_2O)_2]Cl_2$ = 234 g/mol

Moles of $[Co(NH_3)_4(H_2O)_2]Cl_2$ = 0.0168 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.0168mol=\frac{\text{Mass of }[Co(NH_3)_4(H_2O)_2]Cl_2}{234g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of }[Co(NH_3)_4(H_2O)_2]Cl_2=(0.0168mol\times 234g/mol)=3.93g$

To calculate the percentage yield of $[Co(NH_3)_4(H_2O)_2]Cl_2$ , we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Experimental yield of $[Co(NH_3)_4(H_2O)_2]Cl_2$ = 1.20 g

Theoretical yield of $[Co(NH_3)_4(H_2O)_2]Cl_2$ = 3.93 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ yield of }[Co(NH_3)_4(H_2O)_2]Cl_2=\frac{1.20g}{3.93g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of }[Co(NH_3)_4(H_2O)_2]Cl_2=30.53\%$

Hence, the theoretical yield and percent yield of $[Co(NH_3)_4(H_2O)_2]Cl_2$ is 3.93 g and 30.53 % respectively

Which of the following statements about material bonding is correct? C O a. Ionic bonds are formed by the sharing of valence ele

Zina [86]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In material bonding, there occurs Vander waal foces between the molecules in which their is either an induced or permanent dipole moment that attract molecules towards each other.

And, due to these forces the molecules are held together.

On the other hand, in a ionic bond there will always be transfer of electrons from one atom to another. This is because on atom which loses its valence electrons acquires a positive charge and another atom which gains the electrons acquires a negative charge.

Hence, these opposite charges strongly gets attracted towards each other forming a strong bond.

Whereas in a covalent bond, there will be sharing of electrons between the combining atoms.

In a metallic bond, there occurs a sea of electrons which is uniformly distributed throughout the solid substance or material.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement, Van der Waals bonds are formed by Van der Waals forces in which molecules or atoms have either an induced or permanent dipole moment to attract each other, about material bonding is correct.
