Answer:

The reaction is a double displacement reaction

Explanation:

Let us consider the reaction equation of the reaction between ammonium oxalate and lithium acetate.

(NH4)2C2O4(aq) +2 CH3COOLi(aq) -------> 2NH4CH3CO2(aq) + Li2C2O4(s)

This is a displacement reaction. A double displacement reaction is a type of reaction in which two reactants exchange their ions to form two new compounds. Double displacement reactions usually lead to the formation of a solid product which is also called a precipitate.

The general form of a Double displacement reaction is of the format:

AB + CD → AD + CB

Where A,B,C and D represents different ions respectively.

A double displacement reaction can also be referred to as salt metathesis reaction, double replacement reaction, exchange reaction, or a double decomposition reaction, although the latter term is more strictly used when one or more of the reactants does not dissolve in the solvent.

A molecule that forms when atoms of the same element bond together is called a(n)________

Mice21 [21]

Answer: element.

Justification:

1) A molecule is the union of two or more atoms.

2) When two or more atoms of different elements bond together, the molecule formed is a compound.

For example: one atoms of hydrogen and one atom of chlorine form the molecule HCl, which is a compound (hydrogen chloride).

3) When the molecules is formed by two atoms of the same element, it is not called a compound, but element. Some examples of this are the diatomic gases:

H₂: hydrogen

Cl₂: chlorine

Br₂: bromine

O₂: oxygen

S₂: sulfur

N₂: nitrogen.

Many monatomic ions are found in seawater, including the ions formed from the following list of elements. Write the Lewis symbol

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

The Lewis structures are in image attached.

Explanation:

Lewis symbol is a representation of an element symbol along with its valence electrons around it in the form of dot(s).

Mono-atomic ions formed from the following :

(a) Cl

Chlorine's atomic number is 17 in which only 7 electrons are present in its valence shell .So in order to gain noble gas stability it will gain 1 electron to completes its octet

$Cl=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5$

$Cl^-=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6$

(b) Na

Sodium's atomic number is 11 in which only 1 electrons are present in its valence shell .So in order to gain noble gas stability it will loose 1 electron to completes its octet. In the Lewis symbol no dot shown as sodium has lost its 1 electron.

$Na=1s^22s^23p^63s^1$

$Na^+=1s^22s^23p^63s^0$

(c) Mg

Magnesium's atomic number is 12 in which only 2 electrons are present in its valence shell .So, in order to gain noble gas stability it will loose 2 electrons to completes its octet.

In the Lewis symbol no dot shown as magnesium has lost its 2 electrons.

$Mg=1s^22s^23p^63s^2$

$Mg^{2+}=1s^22s^23p^63s^0$

(d)Ca

Calcium's atomic number is 20 in which only 2 electrons are present in its valence shell .So, in order to gain noble gas stability it will loose 2 electron to completes its octet.

In the Lewis symbol no dot shown as calcium has lost its 2 electron.

$Ca= 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^2$

$Ca^{2+}=1s^22s^23p^6^23p^64s^0$

(e) K

Potassium's atomic number is 19 in which only 1 electrons are present in its valence shell .So, in order to gain noble gas stability it will loose 1 electron to completes its octet.

In the Lewis symbol no dot shown as calcium has lost its 1 electron.

$K= 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^1$

$K^{+}=1s^22s^23p^6^23p^64s^0$

(f) Br

Bromine's atomic number is 35 in which only 7 electrons are present in its valence shell .So in order to gain noble gas stability it will gain 1 electron to completes its octet

$Br=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{10}4s^24p^5$

$Br^-= 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{10}4s^24p^6$

(g) Sr

Strontium's atomic number is 38 in which only 2 electrons are present in its valence shell .So, in order to gain noble gas stability it will loose 2 electron to completes its octet.

In the Lewis symbol no dot shown as calcium has lost its 2 electron.

$Sr=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{10}4s^24p^65s^2$

$Sr^{2+}=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{10}4s^24p^65s^0$

(h) F

Florine's atomic number is 7 in which only 7 electrons are present in its valence shell .So in order to gain noble gas stability it will gain 1 electron to completes its octet.

$F=1s^22s^22p^5$

$F^-=1s^22s^22p^6$

What sample is a pure substance?A. a test tube of zinc oxide.

Mice21 [21]

The correct answer is A. A test tube of zinc oxide. Zinc oxide is a compound which is a pure substance composed of two or more elements. They can only be separated or broken down into its individual elements or smaller compounds by chemical means. Therefore, the answer is a test tube of zinc oxide.
