From the given pH, we calculate the concentration of H+:
     [H+] = 10^-pH = 10^-5.5
We then use the volume to solve for the number of moles of H+:
     moles H+ = 10^-5.5M * 4.3x10^9 L =  13598 moles
From the balanced equation of the neutralization of hydrogen ion by limestone written as
     CaCO3(s) + 2H+(aq)  → Ca2+(aq) + H2CO3(aq)
we use the mole ratio of limestone CaCO3 and H+ from their coefficients, which is 1 mole of CaCO3 is to react with 2 moles of H+, to compute for the mass of the limestone:
     mass CaCO3 = 13598mol H+(1mol CaCO3/2mol H+)
                               (100.0869g CaCO3/1mol CaCO3)(1kg/1000g) 
                            = 680 kg

a bond where electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in charge imbalance in each atom. a bond where electr
Illusion [34]

Answer:

1. A bond where electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in charge imbalance in each atom is called ionic bonding.

2. A bond where electrons are equally shared, resulting in equal numbers of electrons orbiting each atom is called non-polar covalent bond.

3. A bond where electrons are unequally shared, resulting in more electrons orbiting certain atoms than others is called a polar covalent bond.

4. A bond where the electronegativity differences between the atoms within a molecule result in the partially positive atoms of one molecule attracting the partially negative atoms of other molecules is called polar bond and it is part of the covalent bonds.

Explanation:

1. In ionic bonding process, electrons are enterely transferred from one atom to another either losing or gaining negatively charged electrons, and the reacting atoms form ions. A charge imbalance is caused then by the oppositely charged ions, when attracted to each other by electrostatic forces, the basis of the ionic bond.

2. A non-polar covalent bond is occurs when two atoms have same electron afinity to share their electrons equally. The closer the values of their electron affinity, the stronger the attractionis. This is created in diatomic elements or gas molecules.

3. A polar covalent bond is a type of chemical bond where two electrons are unequally shared between two atoms, electrons are not equally shared because one atom spends more time with the electrons than the other atom, resulting in more electrons orbiting certain atoms than others.

4. The polar bond is a type of covalent bonds. This bonds depends on atoms´electronegativity differences. If an atom is less electronegative, it means that the electron distribution or charge is unevenly distributed or polarized and then it becomes partially positive.

Q: A 25.5 mL aliquot of HCl (aq) of unknown concentration was titrated with 0.113 M NaOH (aq). It took 51.2 mL of the base to re
blondinia [14]
M ( HCl ) = ?

V ( HCl ) = 25.5 mL in liters : 25.5 / 1000 => 0.0255 L

M ( NaOH ) = 0.113 M

V ( NaOH ) = 51.2 mL / 1000 => 0.0512 L

number of moles NaOH:

n = M x V

n = 0.113 x <span> 0.0512 => 0.0057856 moles of NaOH

mole ratio:

</span><span>HCl + NaOH = NaCl + H2O
</span><span>
1 mole HCl -------------- 1 mole NaOH
( moles HCl ) ----------- </span><span> 0.0057856 moles NaOH

M ( HCl ) = n / V

M =  0.0057856 / <span>0.0255

How many atoms of hydrogen are present in 7.63 g of ammonia? please help me ??
GarryVolchara [31]
The atoms  of  hydrogen  that are  present  in  7.63 g  of ammonia(NH3)

find  the  moles  of NH3 =mass/molar mass
 7.63 g/ 17 g/mol = 0.449  moles

since there  is  3 atoms of H  in NH3 the  moles of  H = 0.449 x 3 = 1.347 moles

by  use  of  1 mole = 6.02 x10^23  atoms
what  about  1.347  moles

= 1.347  moles/1   moles  x 6.02 x10^23 atoms = 8.11 x10^23  atoms of Hydrogen
