Why don't metals form covalent compounds?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Firdavs [7]3 years ago

Metals don't form covalent bonds because of the low ionization energes of the metal atoms. It is easier for them to release electrons rather than sharing it. But this is not always the case, there are some metals that can form covalent bonds.

What is the maximum number of grams of PH3 that can be formed when 6.2 g of phosphorus reacts with 4.0 g of hydrogen to form PH3
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

6.79 g of phosphine can be produced

Explanation:

The reaction is this:

3H₂ + 2P → 2PH₃

We have the mass of the two reactants, so let's find out the limiting reactant, so we can work with the equation. Firstly, we convert the mass to moles (mass / molar mass)

6.2 g / 30.97 g/mol = 0.200 moles of P

4g / 2 g/mol = 2 moles of H₂

Ratio is 3:2.

3 moles of hydrogen react with 2 moles of P

Then, 2 moles of H₂ would react with (2 . 2)/ 3 = 1.3 moles of P.

We have only 0.2 moles of P, so clearly the phosphorous is the limiting reactant.

Ratio is 2:2. So 2 moles of P can produce 2 moles of phosphine. Therefore, 0.2 moles of P must produce the same amount of phosphine.

Let's convert the moles to mass ( mol . molar mass)

0.2 mol . 33.97 g/mol = 6.79 g

Need help !!!!! ASAP
Julli [10]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The new volume will be 1 L.

V_{2}=1L

<h2>Why?</h2>

To solve the problem, since we are given the volume and the first and the second pressure, to calculate the new volume, we need to assume that the temperature is constant.

To solve this problem, we need to use Boyle's Law. Boyle's Law establishes when the temperature is kept constant, the pressure and the volume will be proportional.

Boyle's Law equation is:

P_{1}V_{1}=P_{2}V_{2}

So, we are given the information:

V_{1}=2L\\P_{1}=50kPa\\P_{2}=100kPa

Then, isolating the new volume and substituting into the equation, we have:

P_{1}V_{1}=P_{2}V_{2}

V_{2}=\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{P_{2}}

V_{2}=\frac{50kPa*2L}{100kPa}=1L

Hence, the new volume will be 1 L.

V_{2}=1L

Have a nice day!

You have to prepare some 2 M solutions, with 10 g of solute in each. What volume of solution will you prepare, for each solute b
alexdok [17]

Answer:

             0.045 L  or 45 mL

Explanation:

Moles = Mass/M.Mass

Moles = 10 g / 109.94 g/mol

Moles = 0.09 moles

Also,

Molarity = Moles / Vol in L

Or,

Vol in L = Moles / Molarity

Vol in L = 0.09 mol / 2 mol/L

Vol in L = 0.045 L

How many molecules are in 2.3 moles of h2o
Naddik [55]

Each mole of substance contains 6.02 x <span>1023</span> component parts, in this case water molecules.

If you have 2.3 moles of water you will have 2.3 x 6.02 x <span>1023</span> which is 1.3846 x <span>1024</span> molecules.

Each molecule contains 2 hydrogen atoms, so the total number of hydrogen atoms in 2.3 moles of water will be 2 x 1.3846 x <span>1024</span> = 2.7692 x <span>1024</span>.

Please mark brainliest, thanks :)

5. What could you do to convert from meters to centimeters? *
maria [59]

C.

centi- is essentially 10^2 of one meter.

If you had 100m, multiplying 100 by 10^2 (or 100) would give you 10000 cm.
