Which of the following best explains why ionic crystals are brittle?​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Natalka [10]3 years ago
3 0

Packing

Explanation:

Ionic crystals are  brittle due to the tight packing of their crystals. This provides little to no mobility between one another.

  • Brittleness implies having little to no elasticity.
  • Ionic crystals are held together by strong crystal lattice forces
  • These forces prevents crystals from freely rotating and moving space.
  • It holds them rigidly and fixed in place.
  • Ionic crystals are hard and held electrostatic forces.

How many grams of kbr must be dissolved to make 25.0 ml of a solution that has a molarity of 0.85 m?
lyudmila [28]
Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute in 1 L of solution 
molarity of solution to be prepared is 0.85 M
this means that there should be 0.85 mol of KBr in 1 L of solution 
if 1 L contains - 0.85 mol
then 25.0 mL should contain - 0.85 mol / 1000 mL x 25.0 mL = 0.0213 mol 
mass of KBr - 0.0213 mol x 119 g/mol = 2.53 g
mass of KBr that should be dissolved in 25.0 mL is 2.53 g

Calculate the mass of NaCO3 used in experiment. SHOW WORK — 15 points!!
Liono4ka [1.6K]

The mass of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) used in the experiment is 1.997 g

<h3>Calculating mass </h3>

From the question we are to calculate the mass of NaHCO₃ (sodium bicarbonate) used in the experiment

From the given information

Mass of empty evaporating dish = 46.233g

Mass of evaporating dish + Sodium bicarbonate = 48.230g

∴ Mass of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) = [Mass of evaporating dish + Sodium bicarbonate] - [Mass of empty evaporating dish]

Mass of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) = 48.230g - 46.233g

Mass of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) = 1.997 g

Hence, the mass of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) used in the experiment is 1.997 g

Question 8 of 8&gt; 0 Attempt 2 A chemist needs to determine the concentration of a sulfuric acid solution by titration with a s
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

12.29 M

Explanation:

  • The reaction that takes place is:

H₂SO₄ + 2NaOH → 2Na⁺ + SO₄⁻² + 2H₂O

  • Now let's calculate the <u>moles of H₂SO₄ that were titrated</u>:

0.1284 M * 0.1915L*\frac{1molAcid}{2molNaOH} = 0.01229 mol H₂SO₄.

  • Thus, the <u>concentration of the diluted solution is</u>:

0.01229 mol H₂SO₄ / 0.010 L = 1.229 M

  • Finally, the <u>concentration of the original acid solution is:</u>

1.229 M*\frac{250mL}{25mL} = 12.29 M
