How does silicon dioxide become a covalent bond. (explain)

1 answer:

4 0

Silicon dioxide is SiO2. Silicon has 4 valence electrons, while each oxygen has 6 valence electrons. This can be shown as
** * *
** O * * Si * * O **
* * **
At points where there is one valence electron, represented by a lone *, the electrons will be 'shared' between the atoms. This will make silicon dioxide appear as
** *--------------- *
** O *--* Si * ------ * O **
*------- * **
, as the lines with no arrows indicate that each electron moves between the atoms, and does not stay with one forever.

Blababa [14]

Its a change in state of solid to liquid

the reason is that in a solid state the molecules have little kinetic energy to move and so they have restricted movement and so it remains solid
once heat is applied the molecules gain enough energy to move and so they turn into a liquid and move according to the laws of physics

hope that helps

The solubility of glucose at 30°C is

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Saturated solution

We should raise the temperature to increase the amount of glucose in the solution without adding more glucose.

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the mass of water

The density of water at 30°C is 0.996 g/mL. We use this data to calculate the mass corresponding to 400 mL.

$400 mL \times \frac{0.996g}{1mL} =398g$

Step 2: Calculate the mass of glucose per 100 g of water

550 g of glucose were added to 398 g of water. Let's calculate the mass of glucose per 100 g of water.

$100gH_2O \times \frac{550gGlucose}{398gH_2O} = 138 gGlucose$

Step 3: Classify the solution

The solubility represents the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved per 100 g of water. Since the solubility of glucose is 125 g Glucose/100 g of water and we attempt to dissolve 138 g of Glucose/100 g of water, some of the Glucose will not be dissolved. The solution will have the maximum amount of solute possible so it would be saturated. We could increase the amount of glucose in the solution by raising the temperature to increase the solubility of glucose in water.
