Which statement about covalent compounds is FALSE?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Vladimir79 [104]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: b . Covalent compounds can contain a maximum  of 4 different atoms.

Explanation:

The covalent compounds are those compounds that are formed between the non-metals via sharing of electrons. The bonds so formed between these non-metallic atoms are covalent. There can be two or several different kinds of atoms that can form covalent bonds with each other in a single molecule. They use the valence electrons for sharing. The maximum number of valence electrons can be seven.

Savatey [412]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Assume that your empty crucible weighs 15.98 g, and the crucible plus the sodium bicarbonate sample weighs 18.56 g. After the first heating, your crucible and contents weighs 17.51 g. After the second heating, your crucible and contents weighs 17.50 g.

What is the theoretical yield of sodium carbonate?

What is the experimental yield of sodium carbonate?

What is the percent yield for sodium carbonate?

Which errors could cause your percent yield to be falsely high, or even over 100%?

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

We have to note that water is driven away after the second heating hence we are concerned with the weight of the pure dry product.

Hence;

From the reaction;

2 NaHCO3 → Na2CO3(s) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

Number of moles of  sodium bicarbonate = 18.56 - 15.98 = 2.58 g/87 g/mol

= 0.0297 moles

2 moles of sodium bicarbonate yields 1 mole of sodium carbonate

0.0297 moles of 0.015 moles  sodium bicarbonate yields 0.0297 * 1/2 = 0.015 moles

Theoretical yield of sodium carbonate = 0.015 moles * 106 g/mol = 1.59 g

Experimental yield of sodium bicarbonate = 17.50 g - 15.98 g = 1.52 g

% yield = experimental yield/Theoretical yield * 100

% yield = 1.52/1.59 * 100

% yield = 96%

The percent yield may exceed 100% if the water and CO2 are not removed from the system by heating the solid product to a constant mass.

Which statement explains why water is classified
hichkok12 [17]

Answer: Option (1) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Compounds are the substances which contain two or more different elements.

Similarly, water is a compound as it is made up when two hydrogen atoms combine with one oxygen atom. Compounds can be broken down with the help of chemical reactions.

Hence, the statement water can be broken down by chemical means explains why water is classified  as a compound.

Nuetrik [128]
In general, The more valence electrons a metal has, the stronger its metallic bonds will be because Boron is a metalloid and is ionically bonded.it is too electronegative to release its valence electrons for metallic bonding.As a result, their valence electrons feel a stronger pull from the nucleus (a greater effective nuclear charge) and are less easily released for metallic bonding.
