Korvikt [17]3 years ago
5 0
potassium flouride is an ionic compound and ionic compounds do not conduct electricity in solid form instead it conducts electricity in molten state.Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity in solid state because their ions are fixed while in molten form the ions are free

Boron’s chemistry is not typical of its group.(a) Cite three ways in which boron and its compounds differ significantly from the
Mila [183]

Boron’s chemistry is not typical of its group. is group 3A (13) shows the increasing metallic character from Al to Tl.

All Boron compounds are covalent whereas the other elements in group 3A (13) form mostly ionic compounds.

Except for Boron, the other elements of group 3A (13) show increasing metallic character from Al to Tl. But Boron is a metalloid.

Compared to the other elements in group 3A, boron has a lower reactivity in chemical terms (13)

The metalloid boron (B), as well as the metals aluminium (Al), gallium (Ga), indium (In), and thallium, are all part of group 3A (or IIIA) of the periodic table (Tl). In contrast to the other members of Group 3A, the element borax primarily forms covalent connections.

Does a low or a high pressure air mass have a greater atmospheric pressure than the surrounding air masses?
Ghella [55]

Answer:

Hello fellow brainlian! here is the answer that you seek:High pressure areas are usually caused by air masses being cooled, either from below (for instance, the subtropical high pressure zones that form over relatively cool ocean waters to the west of Califormia, Africa, and South America

How much water (H2O ) would form if 4.04 g of hydrogen (H2) reacted with 31.98 g of oxygen (O2 )?
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Mass = 36 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of water formed = ?

Mass of hydrogen = 4.04 g

Mass of oxygen = 31.98 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2H₂ + O₂   →   2H₂O

Number of moles of hydrogen:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 4.04 g/ 2 g/mol

Number of moles = 2.02 mol

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 31.98 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.0 mol

Now we will compare the moles of water with hydrogen and oxygen.

                O₂         :         H₂O

                 1           :           2

                H₂         :         H₂O

                 2          :          2

               2.02       :      2.02

Number of moles of water formed by oxygen are less thus oxygen will limiting reactant.

Mass of water:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 2 mol × 18 g/mol

Mass = 36 g
