Explanation:

The low boiling point and melting point of a covalent compound is due to their mutual sharing of electrons and their directional property on bonding compared to ionic as their tendency to gain and loose lather than sharing

Answer:

Covalent compounds have weak forces of attraction between the binding molecules. Thus less energy is required to break the force of bonding. Therefore covalent compounds have low melting and boiling point.

A river with a flow of 50 m3/s discharges into a lake with a volume of 15,000,000 m3. The river has a background pollutant conce

spin [16.1K]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Volume of lake = $15 \times 10^{6} m^{3}$ = $15 \times 10^{6} m^{3} \times \frac{10^{3} liter}{1 m^{3}}$

Concentration of lake = 5.6 mg/l

Total amount of pollutant present in lake = $5.6 \times 15 \times 10^{9} mg$

= $84 \times 10^{9}$ mg

= $84 \times 10^{3}$ kg

Flow rate of river is 50 $m^{3} sec^{-1}$

Volume of water in 1 day = $50 \times 10^{3} \times 86400 liter$

= $432 \times 10^{7}$ liter

Concentration of river is calculated as 5.6 mg/l. Total amount of pollutants present in the lake are $2.9792 \times 10^{10} mg$ or $2.9792 \times 10^{4} kg$

Flow rate of sewage = $0.7 m^{3} sec^{-1}$

Volume of sewage water in 1 day = $6048 \times 10^{4}$ liter

Concentration of sewage = 300 mg/L

Total amount of pollutants = $1.8144 \times 10^{10} mg$ or $1.8144 \times 10^{4}kg$

Therefore, total concentration of lake after 1 day = $\frac{131936 \times 10^{6}}{1.938 \times 10^{10}}mg/ l$

= 6.8078 mg/l

$k_{D}$ = 0.2 per day

$L_{o}$ = 6.8078

Hence, $L_{liquid}$ = $L_{o}(1 - e^{-k_{D}t}$

$L_{liquid}$ = $6.8078 (1 - e^{-0.2 \times 1})$

= 1.234 mg/l

Hence, the remaining concentration = (6.8078 - 1.234) mg/l

= 5.6 mg/l

Thus, we can conclude that concentration leaving the lake one day after the pollutant is added is 5.6 mg/l.

The value of the solubility product constant for Ag2CO3 is 8.5 × 10‒12 and that of Ag2CrO4 is 1.1 × 10‒12. From this data, what

Lena [83]

Answer:

B) 7.7

Explanation:

For the reaction Ag2CO3(s) + CrO42‒(aq) → Ag2CrO4(s) + CO32‒(aq)

Kc = (CO₃²⁻) / (CrO₄²⁻)

and the Ksp given are

Ag₂CO₃ ⇒ 2 Ag⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq) Ksp₁ = (Ag⁺)²(CO₃²⁻)

Ag₂CrO₄ ⇒ 2 Ag⁺(aq)+ CrO₄²⁻(aq) Ksp₂ = (Ag⁺)²(CrO₄²⁻)

Where (...) indicate concentrations M

Notice if we divide the expressions for Ksp we get:

Ksp₁/Ksp₂ = (CO₃²⁻) / (CrO₄²⁻) = 8.5 x 10⁻¹² / 1.1 x 10⁻¹² = 7.7

which is the desired answer.

What is the mass number of an atom that has six protons , six electrons and eight neutrons

Tresset [83]

Answer:

14

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of protons = 6

Number of electrons = 6

Number of neutrons = 8

Unknown:

Mass number = ?

Solution:

The mass number of an atom is the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom;

Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons

Mass number = 6 + 8 = 14
