I’m pretty sure the answer is C
Answer:
A) An ionic bond is much stronger than most covalent bonds.
Explanation:
D) Ionic compounds have high melting points causing them to be solid at room temperature, and conduct electricity when dissolved in water. Covalent compounds have low melting points and many are liquids or gases at room temperature.
C) An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions. Ionic bonds are formed between a cation, which is usually a metal, and an anion, which is usually a nonmetal. A covalent bond involves a pair of electrons being shared between atoms.
A) Covalent bonds are stronger if you compare with ionic molecules, because their molecular orbital overlap is bigger. However, ionic molecules form lattices, thus the energy to break this lattice bond is stronger hence the ionic bond is stronger.
D. The number increases and then decreases for noble gases
The volume of CO2 at STP =124.298 L
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Reaction
4 KMnO4, +4 C3H5(OH)5, -7K2CO3, + 7 Mn2O3, +5 CO2, + 16 H2O
701,52 g of KMnO4
Required
volume of CO2 at STP
Solution
mol KMnO4 (MW=158,034 g/mol) :
mol = mass : MW
mol = 701.52 : 158.034
mol = 4.439
mol CO2 from equation : 5/4 x mol KMnO4 = 5/4 x 4.439 = 5.549
At STP 1 mol = 22.4 L, so for 5.549 moles :
=5.549 x 22.4
=124.298 L
