Chemistry

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When there occurs sharing of electrons between the two combining atoms then the bond formed is known as a covalent bond. Whereas when there occurs transfer of electrons between the combining atoms then the bond formed is known as ionic bond.

An ionic bond is formed between a metal and a non-metal.

Both phosphorous and chlorine belongs to third period and both of them are non-metals.

Atomic number of P is 15 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 5. Atomic number of Cl is 17 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 7.

Therefore, in order to attain stability both P and Cl will combine with each other by sharing electrons and hence, they will form a covalent bond.

Thus, we can conclude that a phosphorus atom and a chlorine atom are likely to form a covalent bond because both elements are non-metals.

True or false. Gas particles never touch each other.
Sati [7]

Answer:

False.  In a gas, particles are in continual straight-line motion. The kinetic energy of the molecule is greater than the attractive force between them, thus they are much farther apart and move freely of each other.

NH4NO3, whose heat of solution is 25.7 kJ/mol, is one substance that can be used in cold pack. If the goal is to decrease the te
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

There are necessaries 35,2g of NH₄NO₃ per 100,0g of water to decrease the temperature of the solution from 25,0°C to 5,0°C

Explanation:

To decrease the temperature of the solution there are necessaries:

4,184J/g°C×(5,0°C-25,0°C)×(100,0g+X) = -Y

8368J + 83,68J/gX = Y <em>(1)</em>

Where x are grams of NH₄NO₃ you need to add and Y is the energy that you need to decrease the heat.

Also, the energy Y will be:

Y = 25700J/mol×\frac{1mol}{80,043g}X

Y = 321J/g X <em>(2)</em>

Replacing (2) in (1)

8368J + 83,68J/g X = 321J/g X

8363J = 237,32J/gX

<em>X = 35,2g</em>

<em />

Thus, there are necessaries 35,2g of NH₄NO₃ per 100,0g of water to decrease the temperature of the solution from 25,0°C to 5,0°C

I hope it helps!

You are given a bottle of solid X and three aqueous solutions of X—one saturated, one unsaturated, and one supersaturated. How w
quester [9]

In a saturated solution, extra solid X would remain solid, dissolve in an unsaturated solution, and crystallize in a supersaturated one.

A solution is said to be saturated when there is a maximum amount of solute present that has been dissolved in the solvent. As a result, the system is in an equilibrium between the dissolved and undissolved solutes: A solution is considered to be unsaturated if the solute concentration is less than the equilibrium solubility. A supersaturated solution is one that has more solute than is necessary to generate a saturated solution at a given temperature.

How many molecules are in 18moles of CH.​
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

1.08 x 10²⁵molecules

Explanation:

From the mole concept we know that ;

      1 mole of any substance contains 6.02 x 10²³ molecules

This number is the Avogadro's number.

 So;

  18 mole of CH will contain:

       Number of molecules of CH  = 18 x 6.02 x 10²³ = 1.08 x 10²⁵molecules

The number of molecules is therefore 1.08 x 10²⁵molecules

16. What is a pure substance formed when two or more different elementscombine called?A. compoundB. moleculeC. element
Lana71 [14]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Compound. Option A is correct

<h2>Explanations:</h2>

When two or more different elements combines, a compound is formed. For instance, if carbon and oxygen combines, carbondioxide is formed according to the equation;

C+O_2\rightarrow CO_2

From the reaction, carbon and oxygen are the elements while carbondioxide is the compound. Hence we can conclude that a pure substance formed when two or more different elements combine called compound.
