Ionic crystals are excellent insulators and can hold a large amount of heat before melting or boiling.

It is a true fact that ionic crystals are excellent insulators and can hold a large amount of heat before melting or boiling. The correct option among the two options that are given in the question is the first option. Salt is a great example of ionic crystals and we know that it takes a huge amount of time to melt or boil.

Would the amount of solid magnesium increase decrease or stay the same if you added a strong acid to it?

Vlada [557]

Solid Magnesium is considered as active metal so it reacts with strong acids like HCl and H₂SO₄ liberating Hydrogen gas according to the following equations:

Mg(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → MgCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)
Mg(s) + H₂SO₄(aq) → MgSO₄(aq) + H₂(g)

so the amount of solid magnesium decrease by addition of strong acid to it.

A reaction produces 0.883 moles of H₂O. How many molecules are produced?

prisoha [69]

The answer is 5.32 × 10²³ molecules

Avogadro's number is the number of units (atoms, molecules) in 1 mole of substance:
6.023 × 10²³ units per 1 mole

We have 0.883 moles.
If 1 mole has 6.023 × 10²³ molecules, 0.883 moles will have x molecules:
1 mole : 6.023 × 10²³ molecules = 0.883 moles : x

x = 6.023 × 10²³ molecules * 0.883 moles : 1 mole = 5.32 × 10²³ molecules

What type of bonds exist in a molecule of water? Polar covalent bonds ionic bonds hydrogen bonds van der waals non polar covalen

Aleksandr [31]

Polar covalent bonds (because hydrogen and oxygen form polar bonds and are both nonmetals so it's covalent) and hydrogen bonds (because the water molecules are attracted to each other with partial charges, causing specific properties like surface tension).

So in my very bad drawing that I attached in case you're more a visual learner, the d- and d+ show the partial charges of hydrogen and oxygen (making it polar, as the electrons in the bond are more shifted towards oxygen, which is why oxygen has a negative sign) and the yellow dotted line show the hydrogen bonds.
