Which pair of elements is most apt to form an ionic compound with each other?

1 answer:

7 0

Ionic compounds are compounds that are formed together by a cation and an anion. A cation is an ion with a positive charge. For example, Na+ and Ca2+. An ion has a negative charge, like Cl- and OH-. There is a greater chance of forming an ionic compound when they have a great difference in electronegativity, the ability to attract electrons toward itself. In the periodic table, elements that are opposite to each other, more likely found in opposite sides, would be more apt to form an ionic compound. Example would be NaCl and CaCl2 or Ca(OH)2.

A sample of carbon dioxide at RTP is 0.50 dm3. How many grams of carbon dioxide do we have?

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

0.924 g

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Volume of CO2 at RTP = 0.50 dm³

Mass of CO2 =?

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of CO2 that occupied 0.50 dm³ at RTP (room temperature and pressure). This can be obtained as follow:

1 mole of gas = 24 dm³ at RTP

Thus,

1 mole of CO2 occupies 24 dm³ at RTP.

Therefore, Xmol of CO2 will occupy 0.50 dm³ at RTP i.e

Xmol of CO2 = 0.5 /24

Xmol of CO2 = 0.021 mole

Thus, 0.021 mole of CO2 occupied 0.5 dm³ at RTP.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of CO2 as follow:

Mole of CO2 = 0.021 mole

Molar mass of CO2 = 12 + (2×16) = 13 + 32 = 44 g/mol

Mass of CO2 =?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

0.021 = mass of CO2 /44

Cross multiply

Mass of CO2 = 0.021 × 44

Mass of CO2 = 0.924 g.

3 organisms that help prevent infections

love history [14]

Infection control is the discipline concerned with preventing nosocomial or healthcare-associated infection, a practical (rather than academic) sub-discipline of epidemiology. It is an essential, though often underrecognized and undersupported, part of the infrastructure of health care. Infection control and hospital epidemiology are akin to public health practice, practiced within the confines of a particular health-care delivery system rather than directed at society as a whole. Anti-infective agents include antibiotics, antibacterials, antifungals, antivirals and antiprotozoals.[1]

Infection control addresses factors related to the spread of infections within the healthcare setting (whether patient-to-patient, from patients to staff and from staff to patients, or among-staff), including prevention (via hand hygiene/hand washing, cleaning/disinfection/sterilization, vaccination, surveillance), monitoring/investigation of demonstrated or suspected spread of infection within a particular health-care setting (surveillance and outbreak investigation), and management (interruption of outbreaks). It is on this basis that the common title being adopted within health care is "infection prevention and control." (got from google
