Which element, when combined with Iodine, would most likely form an ionic compound?

Chemistry
1 answer:
uranmaximum [27]3 years ago
4 0

In an ionic compound the atoms are linked via ionic bonds. These are formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to the other. The atom that loses electrons gains a positive charge whereas the atom that accepts electrons gains a negative. This happens in accordance with the octet rule wherein each atom is surrounded by 8 electrons

In the given example:

The valence electron configuration of Iodine (I) = 5s²5p⁵

It needs only one electron to complete its octet.

In the given options:

K = 4s¹

C = 2s²2p²

Cl = 3s²3p⁵

P = 3s²3p³

Thus K can donate its valence electron to Iodine. As a result K, will gain a stable noble gas configuration of argon while iodine would gain an octet. This would also balance the charges as K⁺I⁻ creating a neutral molecule.

Ans: Potassium (K)

Given that the density of iron is 7.9 g/cm3, what would be the volume of a 15.8 g piece of iron
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

2cm^3

Explanation:

Use the density triangle: D=MxV

Switch for variables, V=M/D

Plug in numbers, 15.8g/7.9g/cm^3=2cm^3

Pyruvate is the end product of glycolysis. Its further metabolism depends on the organism and on the presence or absence of oxyg
murzikaleks [220]

The given question is incomplete. The image present in the question for Reaction A is attached below along with the answer.

Explanation:

Pyruvate molecule reacts with Coenzyme A in the presence of oxygen and it results in the formation of acetyl Coenzyme A and carbon dioxide.

The enzyme pyruvae dehydrogenase helps in catalyzing this reaction. As in this biochemical reaction NAD^{+} gets converted into NADH.

This reaction is shown in the image attached below.

The sink-float method is often used to identify the type of glass material found at crime scenes by determining its density.
Olegator [25]

Answer:

<em><u>Glass that will sink</u></em>

  • alkali zinc borosilicate with a density of 2.57 g/mL in a solution with a density of 2.46 g/mL

  • potash soda lead with a density of 3.05 g/mL in a solution with a density of 1.65 g/mL

<em><u>Glass that will float</u></em>

  • soda borosilicate with a density of 2.27 g/mL in a solution with a density of 2.62 g/mL

  • alkali strontium with a density of 2.26 g/mL in a solution with a density of 2.34 g/mL

<em><u>Glass that will not sink or float</u></em>

  • potash borosilicate with a density of 2.16 g/mL in a solution with a density of 2.16 g/mL

Explanation:

Density is the property of matter that states the ratio of the amount of matter, its mass, to the space occupied by it, its volume.

So, the mathematical expression for the density is:

  • density = mass / volume

By comparing the density of a material with the density of a liquid, you will be able to determine whether object will float, sink, or do neither when immersed in the liquid.

The greater the density of an object the more it will try to sink in the liquid.

As you must have experienced many times an inflatable ball (whose density is very low) will float in water, but a stone (whose denisty is greater) will sink in water.

The flotation condition may be summarized by:

  • When the density of the object < density of the liquid, the object will float
  • When the density of the object = density of the liquid: the object will neither float nor sink
  • When the density of the object > density of the liquid: the object will sink.

<em><u>Glass that will sink</u></em>

  • alkali zinc borosilicate with a density of 2.57 g/mL in a solution with a density of 2.46 g/mL, because 2.57 > 2.46.

  • potash soda lead with a density of 3.05 g/mL in a solution with a density of 1.65 g/mL, because 3.05 > 1.65.

<u><em>Glass that will float</em></u>

  • soda borosilicate with a density of 2.27 g/mL in a solution with a density of 2.62 g/mL, because 2.27 < 2.62.

  • alkali strontium with a density of 2.26 g/mL in a solution with a density of 2.34 g/mL, because 2.26 < 2.34.

<em><u>Glass that will not sink or float</u></em>

  • potash borosilicate with a density of 2.16 g/mL in a solution with a density of 2.16 g/mL, because 2.16 = 2.16
