One mole of a metallic oxide reacts with one mole of hydrogen to produce two moles of the pure metal

Chemistry

Answer:

Lithium oxide, Li₂O.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, according to the given amounts, it is possible to write down the chemical reaction as shown below:

M_2O+H_2 \rightarrow 2M+H_2O

Which means that the metallic oxide has the following formula: M₂O. Next, we can set up the following proportional factors according to the chemical reaction:

5.00gM_2O*\frac{1molM_2O}{(2x+16)gM_2O}*\frac{2molM}{1molM_2O}*\frac{xgM}{1molM}   = 2.32gM

Thus, we perform the operations in order to obtain:

\frac{10x}{2x+16}=2.32

So we solve for x as shown below:

10x = 2.32(2x+16)\\\\10x = 4.64x+37.12\\\\x = \frac{37.12}{10-4.64}\\\\x= 6.93 g/mol

Whose molar mass corresponds to lithium, and therefore, the metallic oxide is lithium oxide, Li₂O.

Best regards!

How is electronegativity used in determining the ionic or covalent character of the bonding between two elements?
madam [21]

Answer:

If the electronegativity difference between bonded atoms are too much high ionic bonds are formed if the electronegativity diference is 0.4 or less than 0.4 non polar covalnet bond formed the difference greater than 0.4 polar covalent bond formed.

Explanation:

Ionic bond:

It is the bond which is formed by the transfer of electron from one atom to the atom of another element.  

Both bonded atoms have very large electronegativity difference. The atom with large electronegativity value accept the electron from other with smaller value of electronegativity.

For example:

Sodium chloride is ionic compound. The electronegativity of chlorine is 3.16 and for sodium is 0.93. There is large difference is present. That's why electron from sodium is transfer to the chlorine. Sodium becomes positive and chlorine becomes negative ion.

Covalent bond:

It is formed by the sharing of electron pair between bonded atoms.  

The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards it self and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.

For example:

In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial positive.

How is electronegative related to covalent bonding?
serg [7]
Electronegativity is related to covalent bonding because when two atoms have the same electronegativity bond, they will form a pure covalent bond.
