Since sodium chloride contains both a metal AND a nonmetal, the combination of those would result in an ionic bond.

Answer: Ionic

Explanation:

Ionic bonds are formed by transfer of electrons between metal and non metals.  Covalent bonds are formed by sharing of electrons between non metals

In Sodium chloride

Electronic configuration of sodium:

[Na]=1s^22s^22p^63s^1

Sodium atom will loose one electron to gain noble gas configuration and form sodium cation with +1 charge.

[Na^+]=1s^22s^22p^63s^0

Electronic configuration of chlorine:

[Cl]=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5

Chlorine atom will gain one electron to gain noble gas configuration and form chloride ion with -1 charge.

[Cl^-]=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6

In sodium chloride the one electron from sodium metal gets transferred to chlorine atom and thus is ionic.

What is the mass of phosphorus that contains twice the number of atoms found in 14
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

15.5 gm

Explanation:

What is the mass of phosphorus that contains twice the number of atoms found in 14 g of iron?

[Relative atomic mass : P = 31; Fe = 56]

14 gm Fe = 14gm/ 56 gm/mole = 14 mole gm/56gm = 14/56 mole

0.25 moles

2 X 0.25 = 0.5 moles

1 mole P = 31 gm

so

0.5 moles P =31/2 =15.5 gm

Determine the molality of a solution of methanol dissolved in ethanol for which the mole fraction of methanol is 0.135. Give you
Alja [10]

<u>Answer:</u> The molality of the solution is 0.11 m

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Mole fraction of methanol = 0.135

This means that 0.135 moles of methanol is present in 1 mole of a solution

Moles of ethanol = 1 - 0.135 = 0.865 moles

To calculate the mass for given number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Moles of ethanol = 0.865 moles

Molar mass of ethanol = 46 g/mol

0.865mol=\frac{\text{Mass of ethanol}}{46g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of ethanol}=(0.865mol\times 46g/mol}=39.79g

To calculate the molality of solution, we use the equation:

Molality=\frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times W_{solvent}\text{ (in grams)}}

Where,

m_{solute} = Given mass of solute (methanol) = 0.135 g

M_{solute} = Molar mass of solute (methanol) = 32 g/mol

W_{solvent} = Mass of solvent (ethanol) = 39.79 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Molality of methanol}=\frac{0.135\times 1000}{32\times 39.79}\\\\\text{Molality of methanol}=0.106m\approx 0.11m

Hence, the molality of the solution is 0.11 m
