An ionic compound is a compound between a metal and a non metal where the metal (normally from group 1 or 2) transferrs an electron to the non metal ( most commonly from group 6 or 7) . this is so that both atoms have a full outer shell of electrons. the metal gains a positive charge and the non metal a negative charge. they are held together by electrostatic forces of attraction. an example would be sodium chloride (salt) sodium is in group 1 and chlorine in group 7 so sodium transfers one electron :)

Question

<em>What is an ionic compound? Write an example.</em>

Answer:

<em>Ionic compounds are compounds consisting of ions. Two-element compounds are usually ionic when one element is a metal and the other is a non-metal. Examples include: sodium chloride: NaCl, with Na+ and Cl- ions.</em>

Hope this helps!

What volume (in L) of H2 would be collected at 22.0oC and a pressure of 713 torr if 2.65 g of zinc react according to the equati
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer: 83.74L

Explanation:

Temp. = 295K

P = 713torr = 0.938atm

Mass = 2.65g

PV = nRT

V = nRT/PV

n = Mass/Molar mass

Molar mass of Hydrogen gas = 1.00784*2= 2.0156g/mok

n = 2.65/2.0156 = 1.31469mol

V = 1.31469*0.08205*295/0.938

V = 83.74L

The volume = 83.74L

Which statement is true?
docker41 [41]
I am pretty sure that the statement which is true is A. a molecule having a covalent bond can be ionic. I choose this option because you usually ca see how electons of polyatomic ions are being covalenr and gain or loose ionic electrons in order to accomplish the octet.<span>

What is the difference between the number of electrons in an atom of selenium?
azamat

Explanation:

Supposing we have to find the difference between the number of electrons in Selenium and Aluminium.

Well, electrons can be transformed to an atomic number, so if SE is 34, that means it has 34 electrons. AI has an atomic number of 13, which means it has 13 electrons. So the difference is that more electrons than AI are available from SE.

The voltage generated by the zinc concentration cell described by the line notation Zn ( s ) ∣ ∣ Zn 2 + ( aq , 0.100 M ) ∥ ∥ Zn
Oxana [17]

Answer:

0.193 M

Explanation:

We need to calculate the Zn²⁺ concentration at the cathode where reduction occurs which is the right side in the expression:

Zn2+(aq,0.100 M) ‖ Zn2+(aq,? M) | Zn(s)

Zn²⁺ (aq,?) + 2 e⁻   ⇒ Zn (s)

and oxidation will occur in the anode

Zn (s) ⇒ Zn²⁺ (aq, 0.100 M ) + 2 e⁻

and the overall reaction is

Zn²⁺ (aq,?) ⇒ Zn²⁺ (0.100 M )

The driving force is the difference in concentration and E the electromotive force will be given by

E = Eº - 0.0592/2 log [Zn²⁺ (0.100 M) / Zn²⁺ (M) ]

Plugging the value for E and knowing Eº is cero because we have the same electrodes, we have

17.0 x 10⁻³ = 0 - 0.0592 log 0.100/ X =

- 17.0 x 10⁻³ / 0.0592 = log 0.100 / X

- 0.287 = log (0.100 / X)

Taking inverse log to both sides of the equation

0.516 = 0.100 / X   ⇒ X = 0.100 / 0.516 = 0.193 M

A chemist prepares a solution of sodium chloride(NaCl) by measuring out 25.4g of sodium chloride into a 100ml volumetric flask a
labwork [276]

Answer: 4 molL-1

Explanation:

Detailed solution is shown in the image attached. The number of moles of NaCl is first obtained. Since the molarity must be in units of molL-1, the volume is divided by 1000 and the formula stated in the solution is applied and the answer is given to one significant figure.
