Explain why ionic compounds are neutral even though they are made up of charged particles

1 answer:

7 0

Ionic compounds are made up of two charged species, a cation (+) and an anion (–).

The charges must balance out to zero for a stable ionic compound, because ionic bonds are formed between two charged species. They form in ratios according to their charges to balance out.

The density of gold is 19.3. G/cm(3). If a nugget of iron pyrite and nugget of gold each have a mass of 50 g, what can you concl

tangare [24]

The pyrite will be bigger, because its density is much lower.

I <em>do</em> know that the gold's volume will be 2.5906 (With a bunch more numbers after it)

50 divided by 19.3 = 2.5906

Comparing X-ray to radio wave, which has a shorter wavelength?

Daniel [21]

Answer:

x-ray

Explanation:

X-rays can penetrate through matter because of their high frequencies while radio waves are not able to do so as much. If you think about it, taking an x-ray requires a lot more energy than for radio waves to allow you to listen to songs on the radio. Hope this helps :)

A 19.12 g mixture of Ca(NO3)2 and KCl is dissolved in 149 g of water. The freezing point of the solution was measured as −5.77 ∘

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

The mass percentage of calcium nitrate is 31.23%.

Explanation:

Let the the mass of calcium nitrate be x and mass of potassium chloride be y.

Total mass of mixture = 19.12 g

x + y = 19.12 g..(1)

Mass of solvent = 149 g = 0.149 kg

Freezing point of the solution, $T_f$ = -5.77 °C
