Answer: 2. cannot be an element.

Explanation:

Element is a pure substance which is composed of atoms of similar elements.It can not be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions.Example: Copper Cu

Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.It can be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions. Example: methane CH_4

CH_4\rightarrow C+2H_2

Thus as it can be decomposed into its constituent elements, it is a compound.

Mixture is a substance which has two or more components which do not combine chemically and do not have any fixed ratio in which they are present.

Thus methane cannot be an element.

Does any solid Ag₂CrO₄ form when 2.7x10⁻⁵g of AgNO₃ is dissolved in 15.0 mL of 4.0x10⁻⁴MK₂CrO₄?
e-lub [12.9K]

Molarity of Ag+ is less than the molar solubility thus ppt will not occur.

Balanced reaction-:

<h3>2AgNO3(aq)+K2CrO4(aq)→Ag2CrO4(s)+2KNO3(aq)</h3>

Moles of AgNO3=mass(g)molar mass (g/mol) =2.7×10−5g / 169.86 gmol

=1.589⋅10^−7 mol

Molarity of Ag+=moles of solute(L)=1.589⋅10−7 mol0.015 L=1.059⋅10−5M

Ksp of Ag2CrO4

=[Ag+]2[CrO42−]

1.2⋅10−12=[2s]2[s]

4s3=1.2⋅10−12

s=6.69⋅10−5 M

Molarity of Ag+ is less than the molar solubility thus ppt will not occur.

<h3>What is the molarity calculation formula?</h3>

The volume of solvent required to dissolve the provided solute is multiplied by the ratio of the moles of the solute whose molarity has to be computed. (M=frac{n}{V}) The molality of the solution that needs to be computed in this case is M. n is the solute's molecular weight in moles.

Describe how sponges reproduce
Natali5045456 [20]
They can reproduce in 3 ways: budding, gemmules, and regeneration.
Budding- a new sponge grows off of the older ones eventually breaking off.
Gemmules- internal buds found in sponges. The mass of cells get bigger and bigger and eventually form an adult sponge
Regeneration- sponges are able to restore damaged or broken parts.

Based on the name, which substance is a covalent compound?
jek_recluse [69]
Compounds that has two elements on the formula can be bonded by ionic or covalent bond. If the compound is a metal and a non-metal then it will be ionic bonding. However, when it involves two non-metals, then it will have covalent bonding.

3.) 2.46 grams of Cu(NO3)2 would contain how many formula units?
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

7.90×10²¹ formula units

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of Cu(NO₃)₂ = 2.46 g

Formula units of Cu(NO₃)₂ =?

From Avogadro's hypothesis,

1 mole of Cu(NO₃)₂ = 6.02×10²³ formula units

Next, we shall determine the mass of 1 mole of Cu(NO₃)₂. This can be obtained as follow:

1 mole of Cu(NO₃)₂ = 63.5 + 2[14 + (3×16)]

= 63.5 + 2[14 + 48]

= 63.5 + 2[62]

= 63.5 + 124

= 187.5 g

Thus,

187.5 g of Cu(NO₃)₂ = 6.02×10²³ formula units

Finally, we shall determine the formula units contained in 2.46 g of Cu(NO₃)₂. This can be obtained as follow:

187.5 g of Cu(NO₃)₂ = 6.02×10²³ formula units.

Therefore,

2.46 g of Cu(NO₃)₂ =

(2.46 × 6.02×10²³)/187.5

= 7.90×10²¹ formula units

Thus, 2.46 g of Cu(NO₃)₂ contains 7.90×10²¹ formula units
