Answer: KNO_3 incorporates both ionic bonding and covalent bonding.

Explanation:

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

An ionic bond is formed when an 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.

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Here potassium is having an oxidation state of +1 called as K^{+} cation and nitrate NO_3^{-} is an anion with oxidation state of -1. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral KNO_3. NO_3^- is formed by sharing of electrons between two non metals nitrogen and oxygen.

Thus KNO_3 incorporates both ionic bonding and covalent bonding.

Students asked to measure the temperature of a reaction beaker recorded the following temperatures. 103.7°C, 108.4°C, 105.8°C, 1
Nata [24]

There are two terms

a) accuracy : it relates to the exactness of an answer that how an answer is close to the actual answer or actual reading

So 104.6 is accurate

b) Precision : This is related to the closeness of different readings with each other

The first reading is 103.7 and the second one is 108.4  so the second reading is quite different from the first reading so it cannot be called as precised

Again 105.8 has good difference from the second reading hence again this is not precised

However the last reading 104.6 is quite near to 105.8 so 104.6 can be called as precise

how much heat is needed to raise the temperature of 75 g of a substance by 15 C when the specific heat is 0.92 J/g-C?
IRINA_888 [86]
Answer is: 1035 joules of heat is needed.<span>
m(substance</span>) = 75 g.<span>
ΔT(substance</span>) = 15°C.<span>
cp(substance</span>) = 0,92 J/g°C.<span>
Q = m</span>(substance) · ΔT(substance) · cp(substance).<span>
Q = 75 g · </span>15°C · 0,92 J/g°C<span>.
Q = 1035 J = 1,035 kJ.</span>
