Ans: 4) PbSO4

Different compounds are soluble in water to a different extent, some of them are completely insoluble in water. Solubility rules help in identifying the water soluble and insoluble compounds.

Based on the rules:

1) Salts of group IA (Li, Na, K, Rb and Cs) are soluble in water

2) Salts containing NH4+ ions are water soluble

3) All phosphates (PO4³⁻) are insoluble except those containing group IA elements and (NH4)₃PO4

4) All sulfates, SO4²⁻ salts are generally soluble with the exception of Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+, Hg₂²⁺, Hg2+, Pb2+ and Ag+

Therefore, among the given examples:

1) KOH contains group 1A (K) therefore soluble

2) Na3PO4 contains group IA element (Na), therefore soluble

3) NH4Cl contains NH4+ ion, therefore soluble

4) Sulfate of lead (Pb) is insoluble

If you refuse a legal chemical test issued by a law enforcement officer, the Division of Motor Vehicles is required to:

Andru [333]

Answer: Revoke the driver's license for at least 12 months

Explanation:

Chemical tests are used in order to measure the amount of drugs or alcohol that is in the body of a person when the person was arrested. To do this, samples of the urine or blood of the person can be taken and the result will be used to know if the person was driving under the influence of alcohol or not.

If the person refuse a legal chemical test issued by a law enforcement officer, the Division of Motor Vehicles is required to revoke the the driver's license of the person for at least 12 months.

Which of the following pairs of elements is most likely to form an ionic compound?1.Nitrogen and sulfur? OR 2. Magnesium and Flu

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Magnesium and fluorine.

Explanation:

Ionic compounds are formed by the electrostatic attraction of cations and anions.

Cations, positive ions, are formed when atoms lose electrons, and anions, negative ions, are formed when atoms gain electrons.

When two different atoms have similar atraction for electrons (electronegativity) they will not donate to nor catch electrons from each other, so cations and anions will not be formed. Instead, the atoms would prefer to share electrons forming covalent bonds to complete their outermost shell (octet rule).

Then, in order to form ionic compounds the electronegativities have to substantially different. This situation does not happen between two nonmetal elements, which nitrogen and sulfur are. Then, you can predict safely that nitrogen and sulfur will not form an ionic compound.

Ionic compounds, then require the electronegativity difference that exist between some metals and nonmetals. Being magnesium an alkaline earth metal, its electronegativity is very low. On the other hand, fluorine the first element of the group 17, has the highest electronegativity of all the elements.Thus magnesium and fluorine will have enough electronegativity difference to justify the exchange of electrons, forming ions and, consequently, ionic compounds.

How many moles in .5g of sodium bromide?

Genrish500 [490]

I'm not sure how many sign fig's you are required to have.
However I think the final answer would be 0.05 Moles, because of the .5g, that is considered 1 sign fig.
