What is the nature of the Ca-Cl bond in a molecule of calcium chloride (CaCl2) if the electronegativity value of calcium is 1.0

nevsk [136]

Ca-Cl is an ionic bond. We know this because the difference between their electronegativities is 2.16.The electronegativity tells us which atom will attract the electron more than the other. Hence, chlorine attracts the electron a lot more than the calcium.A difference of more than 1.6 (or 1.7 depending on the source) implies that the electrons are so unevenly shared, that the bond is ionic, rather than polar covalent.

When 3.51 g of phosphorus was burned in chlorine, the product was a phosphorus chloride. Its vapor took 1.77 times as long to ef

kumpel [21]

Answer:

molar mass of the phosphorus chloride = 138.06 g/mol

Explanation:

mass of phosphorus will be the same as mass of CO2, since it is stated that they are of equal amount.

mass = 3.51 g

lets assume that it took the CO2 1 sec to effuse, then the time taken by the phosphorus chloride will be 1.77 sec

From this we can say that

rate of effusion of CO2 = 3.51/1 = 3.51 g/s

rate of effusion of the phosphorus chloride = 3.51/1.77 = 1.98 g/s

From graham's equation of effusion,

$\frac{Rc}{Rp}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{Mp\\}{Mc} }$

Rc = rate of effusion of CO2 = 3.51 g/s

Rp = rate of effusion of phosphorus chloride = 1.98 g/s

Mc = molar mass of CO2 = 44.01 g/mol

Mp = molar mass of the phosphorus chloride = ?

Imputing values into the equation, we have

$\frac{3.51}{1.98}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{Mp\\}{44.01} }$

1.77 = $\frac{\sqrt{Mp} }{6.64}$

11.75 = $\sqrt{Mp}$

Mp = $11.75^{2}$

Mp = molar mass of the phosphorus chloride = 138.06 g/mol

The half-life of phosphorus-32 is 14.30 days. how many milligrams of a 20.00 mg sample of phosphorus-32 will remain after 85.80

ZanzabumX [31]

The amount of sample that is left after a certain period of time, given the half-life, h, can be calculated through the equation.

A(t) = A(o) (1/2)^(t/d)

where t is the certain period of time. Substituting the known values,

A(t) = (20 mg)(1/2)^(85.80/14.30)

Solving,

A(t) = 0.3125 mg

Hence, the answer is 0.3125 mg.

1. It has been suggested that pain results from a change in the pH of solutions that surround nerves in the body.

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

According to the question, it is established that the pain caused by a lot of insect bites owes to the acidity of the insect bites.

If this is true, then there is an urgent need to neutralize the acidic insect bite using a basic substance.

Hence the pH of the creams used to treat insect bites should be basic(having a high pH).

2. The compound methene can not exist because it is supposed to be derived from the alkane called methane which contains only one carbon atom.

In order to form an alkene, there must be a double bond between two carbon atoms. This is not possible because there is only one carbon atom in the hypothetical methene. Hence, a compound named methene cannot exist.
