Answer:

D. One negative charge

Explanation:

During the formation of a bond, if an atom gains an electron, after that it will be left with a negative charge compared to the atom before the bond is formed. This is because in these types of bonds, which are ionic bonds, there is a transfer of electrons between atoms, there will be one or more atoms that yield electrons that will be captured by another and other atoms that gain them, and the difference of charges produced by this transfer of electrons, will cause the union to occur due to the attraction between electrostatic forces.

If you have a neutral atom before joining, and it gains an electron to form a bond, it will have one electron more than its initial state (in the initial state, the number of protons and electrons is the same, because the atoms they are electrically neutral), so having an extra electron will make it have a negative charge, since there will be a difference between the number of protons and electrons that the atom possesses. This is why the correct answer is D.

In the case of response A and B, the atom could only remain positively charged if it loses electrons, but as in this case it wins, they are not correct.

The answer C is also not correct because only one electron wins, so that it is left with two negative charges, it should gain two electrons during the bond formation.

A log has a density of .8 g/cm³. What will happen to this log in freshwater, which has a density of 1.0 g/cm³?

Inga [223]

Answer:

The log will float on the water because its density is lower than the liquid, so it will stay at the top due to Archimedes' principle.

At 9°C a gas has a volume of 6.17 L. What is its volume when the gas is at standard temperature?

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

V₂ = 5.97 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial temperature = 9°C (9+273 = 282 K)

Initial volume of gas = 6.17 L

Final volume of gas = ?

Final temperature = standard = 273 K

Solution:

Formula:

The Charles Law will be apply to solve the given problem.

According to this law, 'the volume of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant number of moles and pressure'

Mathematical expression:

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

V₂ = Final volume

T₂ = Final temperature

Now we will put the values in formula.

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₂ = V₁T₂/T₁

V₂ = 6.17 L × 273K / 282 k

V₂ = 1684.41 L.K / 282 K

V₂ = 5.97 L

Explanation:

1.Given:

Molar mass=216.8g

Molecular formula=Pd $H_{2}$

we know;

Molecular formula=n(Empirical formula)

molecular weight of palladium(Pd)=106.4u

molecular weight of hydrogen(H)=1u

Molar mass of Pd $H_{2}$ :

Pd=106.4×1=106.4u

H=1×2=2

molar mass of Pd $H_{2}$ =106.4+2=108.4

n= $\frac{216.8}{106.4}$

n=2

Molecular formula=2(Pd $H_{2}$ )

Molecular formula= $Pd_{2}H_{2}$

Therefore the molecular formula of the compound is $Pd_{2}H_{2}$

2. Given:

Molar mass=30.0g

Molecular formula= $CH_{3}$

we know;

Molecular formula = n (Empirical formula)

molecular weight of Carbon(C)=12.01u

molecular weight of hydrogen(H)=1u

Molar mass of $CH_{3}$ :

C=12.01 × 1 = 12.01u

H=1 × 3 = 3u

molar mass of $CH_{3}$ =12.01 + 3 =15.01u

n= $\frac{30.0}{15.01}$

n=2

Molecular formula=2( $CH_{3}$ )

Molecular formula= $C_{2} H_{6}$

Therefore the molecular formula of the compound is $C_{2} H_{6}$

3. Given:

Molar mass=129g

Molecular formula=CHOCl

we know;

Molecular formula = n (Empirical formula)

molecular weight of Carbon(C)=12.01u

molecular weight of hydrogen(H)=1u

molecular weight of oxygen(O)=16.00u

molecular weight of chlorie(Cl)=35.5u

Molar mass of CHOCl:

C=12.01 × 1 = 12.01u

H=1 × 1 = 1u

O=16.00×1=16.00u

Cl=35.5×1=35.5u

molar mass of CHOCl=12.01+1+16.00+35.5=64.5u

n= $\frac{129}{64.5}$

n=2

Molecular formula=2(CHOCl)

Molecular formula= $C_{2} H_{2} O_{2} Cl_{2}$

Therefore the molecular formula of the compound is $C_{2} H_{2} O_{2} Cl_{2}$

5. Given:

Molar mass=577g

Molecular formula= $TlC_{2} H_{2}O_{3}$

molecular weight of Carbon(C)=12.01u

molecular weight of Thallium(Tl)=204.3u

molecular weight of hydrogen(H)=1u

molecular weight of oxygen(O)=16.00u

Molar mass of $TlC_{2} H_{2}O_{3}$ :

C=12.01 × 2= 24.02u

Tl=204.3×1=204.3u

H=1×2=2u

O=16.00×3=48.00

molar mass of $TlC_{2} H_{2}O_{3}$ =204.3+24.02+1+48.00=278.32u

n= $\frac{577}{278.32}$

n=2

Molecular formula=2 ( $TlC_{2} H_{2}O_{3}$ )

H=1×8=8u

molar mass of $C_{8}H_{8}$ =96.08+8=104.08u

n=104.08÷78.0

n=1

Molecular formula = n(Empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 1( $C_{8}H_{8}$ )

Molecular formula = $C_{8}H_{8}$

Therefore the molecular formula of a compound is $C_{8}H_{8}$

7. Given:

mass of oxide of nitrogen=108g

mass of nitrogen=4.02g

mass of oxygen=11.48g

moles of nitrogen= $\frac{4.04}{14.01}$ = 0.289 moles

moles of oxygen= $\frac{11.46}{15.999}$ =0.716 moles

We divide through by the lowest molar quantity to give an empirical formula of $N_{2} O{5}$ .

Now the molecular formula is multiple of the empirical formula.

So,

108 = n × (2×14.01 + 5×15.999)

Clearly,n=1, and the molecular formula is $N_{2}O_{5}$ .
