Based on the name, which substance is a covalent compound?

1 answer:

3 0

Compounds that has two elements on the formula can be bonded by ionic or covalent bond. If the compound is a metal and a non-metal then it will be ionic bonding. However, when it involves two non-metals, then it will have covalent bonding.

How can you distinguish a clastic sedimentary rock from a crystalline formed sedimentary rock?

Ket [755]

:<span> </span><span>A clastic sedimentary rock will be full of... clasts. Pieces of shells, ooids, pizoids, etc. A chemically formed sedimentary rock may have these but it will dominantly be a layered rock, you should be able to see concentric layers</span>

What are two parts of a solution? How is each defined?

Ahat [919]

The two parts of a solution are a Solute and the other one is a Solvent. The Solute is the substance that dissolves, and the Solvent is the majority of the solution.

How many moles are in 68.5 liters of oxygen gas at STP?

g100num [7]

We can solve this problem when we use the conditions of a gas at standard temperature and pressure. It has been established that at STP where the temperature is 0 degrees Celsius and the pressure is 101.325 kPa, the volume of 1 mole of gas is 22.4 L. We will use this data for the calculations.

68.5 L ( 1 mol O2 / 22.4 L O2 ) = 3.06 mol O2

Butane (C4H10) has a heat of vaporization of 22.44 kJ/mol and a normal boiling point of -0.4 ∘C. A 250 mL sealed flask contains

erastova [34]

Given that:

The heat of vaporization = 22.44 kJ/mol = 22440 J/mol
normal boiling point which is the initial temperature = 0.4° C = (273 + (-0.4))K = 272.6 K
volume = 250 mL = 0.250 L
Mass of butane = 0.8 g
the final temperature = -22° C = (273 + (-22)) K = 251 K

The first step is to determine the vapor pressure at the final temperature of 251K by using the Clausius-Clapeyron equation. This is following by using the ideal gas equation to determine the numbers of moles of butane gas. After that, the mass of butane present in the liquid is determined by using the relation for the number of moles.

Using Clausius-Clapeyron Equation:

$\mathbf{In (\dfrac{P_2}{P_1} )= -\dfrac{\Delta H_{vap}}{R}(\dfrac{1}{T_2} - \dfrac{1}{T_1})}$

where;

P1 and P2 correspond to the temperature at T1 and T2.

∴

replacing the values into the given equation, we have;

$\mathbf{In \dfrac{P_2}{1\ atm} = -\dfrac{22440 \ J/mol}{8.314 \ J/mol.K}(\dfrac{1}{251 \ K} - \dfrac{1}{272.6 \ K})}$

$\mathbf{In \dfrac{P_2}{1\ atm} =-(0.852053785)}$

$\mathbf{P_2=0.427 \ atm}$

As such, at -22° C; the vapor pressure = 0.427 atm

Now, using the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

where:

P = Pressure
V = volume
n = number of moles of butane
R = universal gas constant
T = temperature

∴

Making (n) the subject of the formula:

$\mathbf{n = \dfrac{PV}{RT}}$

$\mathbf{n = \dfrac{0.427 atm \times 0.250 L}{(0.08206 \ L.atm/k.mol) \times 251}}$

$\mathbf{n =0.00518 mol}$

We all know that the standard molecular weight of butane = 58.12 g/mol

∴

Using the relation for the number of moles which is:

$\mathbf{number \ of \ moles = \dfrac{mass}{molar mass}}$

mass = 0.00518 mole × 58.12 g/mol

mass = 0.301 g

∴

The mass of butane in the flask = 0.301 g

But the mass of the butane present as a liquid in the flask is

= 0.8 g - 0.301 g

= 0.499 g

In conclusion, the mass of the butane present as a liquid in the flask is 0.499 g

When elements combine to form compounds does there properties change?

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Yes, they do. The process described is a chemical reaction and it implies the change of nature of reactants and, of course, the change of its properties.
