Answer:

0.08875

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the first step is to compute the difference in the electronegativity for the formed bond between gallium and phosphorous by:

\Delta E=2.1-1.6\\\\\Delta E=0.5

Thus, we can compute the percentage of ionic character by:

\%\  ionic\ character=16\Delta E +3.5 (\Delta E)^2\\\\\%\  ionic\ character=16*0.5+3.5*0.5^2\\\\\%\  ionic\ character=8.875\%

So the fraction is just:

\frac{8.875}{100}=0.08875

Which has sense since gallium phosphide is a non-polar compound.

Regards.

How many grams of silver chloride are produced from 5.0 g of silver nitrate reacting with an excess of barium chloride?
Mumz [18]

Answer:

4.21 grams of silver chloride are produced

Explanation:

Let's follow the reaction:

2AgNO₃  +  BaCl₂  →  2AgCl  +  Ba(NO₃)₂

Ratio is 2:2 so 2 moles of nitrate produce, 2 mol of chloride.

Mol = Mass / Molar mass → 5g / 169.87 g/m = 0.0294 moles

So, 0.0294 moles of Silver chloride are produced

Molar mass AgCl = 143.32 g/m

Molar mass . mol = Mass → 143.32 g/m . 0.0294 mol = 4.21 grams
