Answer:- B- $SO_4^-^2$

Explanations:- Sharing of electrons takes place between non metals and the bond formed by the sharing of electrons is known as covalent bond. In first choice we only have a zinc metal and so no sharing of electrons would be possible here.

In third choice we have NaCl. Na is a metal and Cl is a non metal. The property of metals is to transfer its valence electrons to the non metal and the bond formed is known as ionic bond. So, third choice is also not correct.

In choice B we have sulfate ion that has sulfur and oxygen atoms and both of these are non metals. So, sharing of electrons is present here between the S and O atoms and covalent bonds are formed.

So, choice B- $SO_4^-^2$ is the right answer.

Which of the following [H+] values describes the most basic (alkaline) solution?

Aleks04 [339]

The H+ concentration that would best describe a basic solution would be the one having values less than 10^-7. The pH of a solution is related to H+ concentration by pH = -log[H+]. Therefore, as the concentration of H+ decreases the alkalinity would rise.

How much energy is required to raise the temperature of 10.6 grams of gaseous neon from

Alona [7]

Answer:

Approximately $1.95 \times 10^{2}\; \rm J$ .

Explanation:

Look up the specific heat of gaseous neon:

$c = 1.03 \; \rm J \cdot g^{-1} \cdot K^{-1}$ .

Calculate the required temperature change:

$\Delta T = (37.9 - 20.0)\; \rm K = 17.9\; \rm K$ .

Let $m$ denote the mass of a sample of specific heat $C$ . Energy required to raise the temperature of this sample by $\Delta T$ :

$Q = c \cdot m \cdot \Delta T$ .

For the neon gas in this question:

$c = 1.03\; \rm J \cdot g^{-1}\cdot K^{-1}$ .
$m = 10.6\; \rm g$ .
$\Delta T = (37.9 - 20.0)\; \rm K = 17.9\; \rm K$ .

Calculate the energy associated with this temperature change:

$\begin{aligned}Q &= c \cdot m \cdot \Delta T \\ &= 1.03\; \rm J \cdot g^{-1}\cdot K^{-1} \times 10.6\; \rm g \times 17.9\; \rm K \\ &\approx 1.95 \times 10^{2}\; \rm J\end{aligned}$ .

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

In a physical change the appearance or form of the matter changes but the kind of matter in the substance does not. However in a chemical change, the kind of matter changes and at least one new substance with new properties is formed.
