Explain how atoms are held together in covalent bonds. Give an example of a covalent compound.

Chemistry

asambeis [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Atoms are held together by covalent bonds when they share electrons between themselves.

Covalent bonds are bonds that are formed between non-metals usually with a low electronegative difference between them. In this bond type, two non-metals donate electrons which are shared between the combining atoms and this makes them both like the corresponding noble gases. The shared electrons is what forms the covalent bonds.

An example of covalent bond is HCl, H₂S, SO₂, CO₂, O₂ etc

Aspirin has a formula c9h8o4. what is the molar mass of aspirin? 1. 95 g 2. 220 g 3. 180 g 4. 325 g
Debora [2.8K]
Molar mass is the mass of 1 mol of substance.
Molar masses of compounds can be calculated by the sum of the products of molar masses of individual atoms by number of corresponding individual atoms.
Compound formula is C₉H₈O₄
the molar masses of the atoms making up the compound 
C - 12 g/mol x 9  C  = 108 
H - 1 g/mol x 8 H = 8 
O - 16 g/mol x 4 O = 64
therefore molar mass of aspirin = 108 + 8 + 64 = 180 g/mol
answer is 3.180

Suppose 550.mmol of electrons must be transported from one side of an electrochemical cell to another in 49.0 minutes. Calculate
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

18.0 Ampere is the size of electric current that must flow.

Explanation:

Moles of electron , n = 550 mmol = 0.550 mol

1 mmol = 0.001 mol

Number of electrons = N

N=N_A\times n

Charge on N electrons : Q

Q = N\times 1.602\times 10^{-19} C

Duration of time charge allowed to pass = T = 49.0 min = 49.0 × 60 seconds

1 min = 60 seconds

Size of current : I

I=\frac{Q}{T}=\frac{N\times 1.602\times 10^{-19} C}{49.0\times 60 seconds}

=\frac{n\times N_A\times 1.602\times 10^{-19} C}{49.0\times 60 seconds}

I=\frac{0.550 mol\times 6.022\times 10^{23} mol^{-1}\times 1.602\times 10^{-19} C}{49.0\times 60 seconds}=18.047 A\approx 18.0 A

18.0 Ampere is the size of electric current that must flow.

A chemist wants to observe the following reaction:
stiv31 [10]

It take more energy to break the bonds of the reactants and less energy is given off when the product bonds are formed.

<h3>What is Energy?</h3>

Energy is defined as the ability to do work. Work is done in the breaking or formation of bonds.

The standard Enthalpy (ΔH) of water which was formed in the given reaction is negative.

ΔH= Δproduct - Δreactant

This means that the energy to break the bonds of the reactants is more.
