Answer:

The net charge of the ionic compound calcium fluoride is zero (0).

Explanation:

Ionic compounds, such as covalent ones, have zero net charge; this is, they are neutral.

Substances with net positive charge are cations and substances with net negative charge are anions.

The charges in the ionic compound calcium flouride are distributed in this way:

Compound formula: CaF₂

Calcium charge: Ca²⁺: this is, each calcium ion has a 2 positive charge

Fluoride charge: F⁻: each fluoride ion has a 1 negative charge.

Then, the net charge is: 1 × (2+) + 2 × (1-) = +2 - 2 = 0.

So, a two positve charge, from one calcium ion, is equal to two negative charges, from two fluoride tions, yielding a zero net charge.

22. A flask containing 450 mL of 0.50 M H2SO4 was accidentally knocked to the floor. How many grams of NaHCO, do you need to put

Dvinal [7]

Answer: The correct answer is Option D.

Explanation:

To calculate the moles of a solute, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

We are given:

Volume of sulfuric acid = 450mL = 0.45 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

Molarity of the solution = 0.5 moles/ L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.5mol/L=\frac{\text{Moles of sulfuric acid}}{0.45L}\\\\\text{Moles of sulfuric acid}=0.225mol$

For the given chemical reaction:

$H_2SO_4(aq.)+2NaHCO_3(aq.)\rightarrow Na_2SO_4(aq.)+2H_2O(l)+2CO_2(g)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of sulfuric acid reacts with 2 moles of sodium bicarbonate.

So, 0.225 moles of sulfuric acid will react with = $\frac{2}{1}\times 0.225=0.45mol$ of sodium bicarbonate

To calculate the mass of sodium bicarbonate, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Moles of sodium bicarbonate = 0.45 moles

Molar mass of sodium bicarbonate = 84.007 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.45mol=\frac{\text{Mass of sodium bicarbonate}}{84.007g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of sodium bicarbonate}=38g$

Hence, the correct answer is Option D.

A hypothetical element has two main isotopes with mass numbers of 59 and 62. If 73.00% of the isotopes have a mass number of 59

AlexFokin [52]

since 73% of the isotope is given, take 100%-73% to get the remaining % of the isotopes which is going to be 27%.

hence,

atomic weight= (73×59) + (27×62)

=4307+1302

=5609 amu

The atmosphere is about 21% oxygen. At a pressure of 749 torr, what is the partial pressure of O2?

Kitty [74]

Answer:

157.29 Torr

Explanation:

This question may be solved by the mole fraction.

Mole fraction → Moles of gas / Total moles = Partial pressure of gas / Total pressure

If the atmosphere is about 21% you assume that the mole fraction is 0.21 so:

0.21 = Partial pressure of gas / Total pressure

0.21 = Partial pressure of gas / 749 Torr

Partial pressure of the gas = 749 Torr . 0.21 → 157.29 Torr

What is the name of the compound Si5F7?

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

To distinguish these compounds from each other, Greek prefixes are used to designate the numbers of atoms of one or both elements in the molecule. Therefore, CO2 is called carbon dioxide and CO is called carbon monoxide; SO2 is sulfur dioxide and SO3 is sulfur trioxide.
