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.

Mama L [17]

Answer:

The density of the liquid in beaker B is less than the that of ice.

Explanation:

Ice will float if its mass is less than the mass of the liquid it displaces.

For example, the density of ice is less than that of water.

A 10 cm³ cube of ice has a mass of about 9 g, while the mass of 10 cm³ of water is 10 g. Thus, 9 g of ice displaces 10 g of water.

The denser water displaces the lighter ice and the ice floats to the top.

If the density of the liquid is <em>less than</em> that of water, say, 8 g/cm³, the ice will displace only 8 g of the liquid. The ice will sink.

Hello please please help me​
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

            Option-A is the correct answer

Explanation:

Lithium belong to group 1 metals. Hence, it can loose one electron to form lithium ion i.e. Li⁺¹ or Li⁺

While, Nitrogen is non-metal and hence has the ability to gain the electron lost by lithium metal. Furthermore, Nitrogen can gain maximum 3 electrons to acheive noble gas configuration. Hence, three Li atoms will loose their electrons and Nitrogen will gain those three electrons to form nitride ion i.e. N³⁻.

What is the molarity of a solution that contains 122g of MgSO4 n 3.5L of solution?​
Semmy [17]

Answer:

0.29mol/L or 0.29moldm⁻³

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of MgSO₄ = 122g

Volume of solution = 3.5L

Molarity is simply the concentration of substances in a solution.

Molarity = number of moles/ Volume

>>>>To calculate the Molarity of MgSO₄ we find the number of moles using the mass of MgSO₄ given.

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Molar mass of MgSO₄:

Atomic masses: Mg = 24g

S = 32g

O = 16g

Molar mass of MgSO₄ = [24 + 32 + (16x4)]g/mol

= (24 + 32 + 64)g/mol

= 120g/mol

Number of moles = 122/120 = 1.02mol

>>>> From the given number of moles we can evaluate the Molarity using this equation:

Molarity = number of moles/ Volume

Molarity of MgSO₄ = 1.02mol/3.5L

= 0.29mol/L

IL = 1dm³

The Molarity of MgSO₄ = 0.29moldm⁻³
