Answer:. c. a metal and a nonmetal.

Explanation:

A covalent compound is formed when an element shares its valence electron with another element. This bond is formed between two non metals. Example: $F_2$

An ionic compound is formed when one element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element and the element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element. This bond is formed between a metal and an non-metal. Example: $NaCl$

Thus an ionic compound is typically made of a metal and a nonmetal.

Which of these solutes raises the boiling point of water the most?

VMariaS [17]

Raising of the boiling point is a colligative property. That means that it depends on the number of particles dissolved. The greater the number of particles the greater the increase in the boiling point. So, you can compare the effect of these solutes in the increase of the boiling point by writing the chemical equations and comparing the number of particles dissolved: 1)ionic lithium chloride, LiCl(s) --> Li(+) + Cl (-) => 2 ions; 2) ionic sodium chloride, NaCl(s) --> Na(+) + Cl(-) => 2 ions; 3) molecular sucrose, C12H22O11 (s) ---> C12H22O11(aq) => 1 molecule; 4) ionic phosphate, Na3PO4 --> 3Na(+) + PO4 (3-) => 4 ions; 5) ionic magnesium bromide, MgBr2 --> Mg(2+) + 2 Br(-) => 3 ions. <span>So, ionic phosphate produces the greatest number of particles and it will cause the greatest increase of the boiling point.</span><span />

The reaction can be described using the equation: 2C2H25O24CO22H2O. How much C2H2is needed to react with 68.1 g of O2to produce

Sophie [7]

Answer:

22.13g

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing a balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

2C2H2 + 5O2 —> 4CO2 + 2H2O

Next, we'll calculate the mass of C2H2 and O2 that reacted from the balanced equation. This is illustrated below:

Molar Mass of C2H2 = (12x2) + (2x1)

= 24 + 2 = 26g/mol

Mass of C2H2 that reacted from the balanced equation = 2 x 26 = 52g

Molar Mass of O2 = 16x2 = 32g/mol

Mass of O2 that reacted from the balanced equation = 5 x 32 = 160g

Now, we can obtain the mass of C2H2 that will react with 68.1g of O2 as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

52g of C2H2 reacted with 160g of O2.

Therefore, Xg of C2H2 will react with 68.1g of O2 i.e

Xg of C2H2 = (52x68.1)/160

Xg of C2H2 = 22.13g

Therefore, 22.13g of C2H2 is needed to react with 68.1g of O2
