Answer:

For A: The correct answer is Option E.

For B: The correct answer is Option E.

Explanation:

For A:

Ionic compound is defined as the compound which is formed by complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another atom.

This bond is usually formed between a metal and a non-metal or a metal reacts with a polyatomic ion or a reaction between two polyatomic ions takes place.

For the given options:

Option A: $RbNO_3$

This compound is formed by the combination of $Rb^+\text{ and }NO_3^-$ ions. Rubidium is a metal and nitrate is a polyatomic ion

Hence, it is an ionic compound.

Option B: $Na_2SO_4$

This compound is formed by the combination of $Na^+\text{ and }SO_4^{2-}$ ions. Sodium is a metal and sulfate is a polyatomic ion

Hence, it is an ionic compound.

Option C: $MgCl_2$

This compound is formed by the combination of $Mg^{2+}\text{ and }Cl^-$ ions. Magnesium is a metal and chlorine is a non-metal

Hence, it is an ionic compound.

Option D: $NaI$

This compound is formed by the combination of $Na^+\text{ and }I^-$ ions. Sodium is a metal and iodine is a non-metal

Hence, it is an ionic compound.

Thus, the correct answer is Option E.

For B:

Covalent compound is defined as the compound which is formed when sharing of electrons takes place between the atoms. This is usually formed between two non-metals.

Option A: $SO_2$

This compound is formed by the combination of sulfur and oxygen atoms. Both are non-metals.

Hence, it is a covalent compound.

Option B: $C_2H_2O$

This compound is formed by the combination of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. All are non-metals.

Hence, it is a covalent compound.

Option C: $NO_2$

This compound is formed by the combination of nitrogen and oxygen atoms. Both are non-metals.

Hence, it is a covalent compound.

Option D: $SiO_2$

This compound is formed by the combination of silicon and oxygen atoms. Both are non-metals.

Hence, it is a covalent compound.

Thus, the correct answer is Option E.

What visible evidence indicates that a solution is saturated?

AVprozaik [17]

The greatest visual evidence you can use when trying to determine if a solution is saturated is to look and see if everything in the test tube is a single color and a single consistency.

Answer : The balanced chemical equation will be:

(i) $2K+H_2SO_4\rightarrow K_2SO_4+H_2$

(ii) $Mg(OH)_2+Zn\rightarrow Zn(OH)_2+Mg$

Explanation :

Balanced chemical equation : It is defined as the equation in which total number of individual atoms on the reactant side is equal to the total number of individual atoms on product side.

Part (i):

The balanced chemical equation will be:

$2K+H_2SO_4\rightarrow K_2SO_4+H_2$

This reaction is a single displacement reaction in which most reactive element (potassium) displaces the least reactive element (hydrogen) form their solution.

Part (ii):

The balanced chemical equation will be:

$Mg(OH)_2+Zn\rightarrow Zn(OH)_2+Mg$

This reaction is a single displacement reaction in which most reactive element (zinc) displaces the least reactive element (magnesium) form their solution.

use the Kinetic Theory to explain the following. when you come home from school and open the door you can smell your tea being c

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Tea is getting hot on the stove.

2) As the tea and water gets hot, some combined molecules of tea and water will escape from the teapot.

3) Those escaped molecules now have the entire free space of the entire room to float around in, which they do (because they have high kinetic energy due to being heated).

4) Hence, in this scenario, your nose will detect a few of those molecules and you smell hot or warm tea.

5) Cold tea would be a different story. Cold beverages like cold tea do not have the kinetic energy where molecules can 'break free' of the surrounding container. Someone could be sitting in the room having a can or bottle of cold tea and you would not notice that when you walked in the door.
