Answer : $Cs_2CO_3$ is an ionic compound.

Explanation :

As we know that the cesium is the alkali metal having the atomic number 55 and belongs to group 1. The symbol of cesium is, (Cs). The stable oxidation state of strontium is (+1).

The molecule carbonate is the non-metal polyatomic ion. The stable oxidation state of carbonate ion $(CO_3^{2-})$ is, (-2).

When the cesium combine with the carbonate ion, it forms cesium carbonate. It is an ionic compound in which the a metal react with the non-metal and combine with the an ionic bond by the criss-cross method.

Hence, $Cs_2CO_3$ is an ionic compound.

What is the volume in mL of a 1.18 carat diamond, given the density of diamond is 3.51 g/mL? (1 carat = 200 mg).

nataly862011 [7]

In order to calculate for the volume of the diamond, just first convert the given carat by multiplying it to the given conversion to weight. Since the weight that will be obtained is in milligrams convert it into grams then divide it with the density. The volume of the 1.18 carat diamond is 0.0672 ml.

Answer the following question: In a space shuttle, the CO2 that the crew exhales is removed from the air by a reaction within ca

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The unbalanced reaction equation is;

CO2(g) + LiOH(aq) + Li2CO3(aq) + H2O(l)

The balanced chemical reaction equation;

CO2(g) + 2LiOH(aq) + Li2CO3(aq) + H2O(l)

The molar mass of each compound is the sum of the relative atomic masses of the atoms of the elements that compose the compounds.

For CO2

12 + 16(2) = 12 + 32 = 44 g/mol

For LiOH

7 + 16 + 1 = 24 g/mol

For Li2CO3

2(7) + 12 + 3(16) = 74 g/mol

For H2O

2(1) + 16 = 18 g/mol

From the balanced chemical reaction equation, the mole ratio is 1:2:1:1. This is obtained from the stoichiometric coefficient of each reactant in the balanced chemical reaction equation.

From the question;

1 mole of CO2 occupies 22.4 L

x moles of CO2 occupies 825 L

x = 1 mole * 825 L/22.4 L

x = 36.8 moles

From the reaction equation;

1 mole of CO2 produces 1 mole of water

36.8 moles of CO2 produces 36.8 moles of water

Mass of 36.8 moles of water = 36.8 moles * 18 g/mol

= 662 g of water

The answer must have three significant figures because that is the same number of significant figures to which values were given in the question.

What type of footwear protects your toes from falling objects and being crushed?

Margaret [11]

The correct option is D.

Engineers and constructions workers have different types of footwear, which they make use of when they are in the field. Each of these foot wears has its own purpose and functions. For instance, the steel toe boots serve to protect the foot from falling falling objects and also from compression. The foot wear has a protective support in the toe and also possesses a mid sole plate to protect the foot again puncture from the sole.
