If the compound potassium chloride is written in words, how do you know to write the formula with one potassium and one chloride

Chemistry

NNADVOKAT [17]3 years ago

Because there is only one stable ionic compound made up of potassium and chlorine, and that is KCl. So calling is "mono chloride" or similar would be redundant assuming you understand basic chemistry (i.e. knowing oxidation numbers of K is +1 and Cl is -1). When compounds can exist in multiple forms in nature like CO and CO2 you will preferably indicate it through the nomenclature, calling one a monoxide and the other a dioxide.

How can bonding determine the properties of a substance?
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Chemical bonds are the electrical forces of attraction that hold atoms or ions together to form molecules. Different types of chemical bonds and their varying intensity are directly responsible for some of the physical properties of minerals such as hardness, melting and boiling points, solubility, and conductivity.

Identify the following reaction as oxidation and reduction F2(g)+2e-/2F-(aq)​
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Reduction

Explanation:

The oxidation reduction reactions are called redox reaction. These reactions are take place by gaining or losing the electrons and oxidation state of elements are changed.

Oxidation:

Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

In given reaction fluorine gas gain two electron and form fluoride ions.

F₂(g) + 2e⁻    →   2F⁻(aq)

The given reaction is reduction because oxidation state is decreased from zero to -1.

How to identify polars&non polar.
lesantik [10]
If the difference in electronegativtiy for the atoms in a bond are greater than 0.4,we consider the bond polar, if the electronegativity is less than 0.4, we consider it non polar. if there are no polar bonds, the molecule is non polar.

Consider the following reaction, equilibrium concentrations, and equilibrium constant at
REY [17]

Answer:

Equilibrium concentration of H_{2}O is 12.5 M

Explanation:

Given reaction: C_{2}H_{4}+H_{2}O\rightleftharpoons C_{2}H_{5}OH

Here, K_{c}=\frac{[C_{2}H_{5}OH]}{[C_{2}H_{4}][H_{2}O]}

where K_{c} represents equilibrium constant in terms of concentration and species inside third bracket represent equilibrium concentrations

Here, [C_{2}H_{4}]=0.015M , [C_{2}H_{5}OH]=1.69M and K_{c}=9.0

So, [H_{2}O]=\frac{[C_{2}H_{5}OH]}{[C_{2}H_{4}]\times K_{c}}=\frac{1.69}{0.015\times 9.0}=12.5M

Hence equilibrium concentration of H_{2}O is 12.5 M
