Answer: Among the listed substances $XeCl_{4}$ is the molecular compound.

Explanation:

A chemical compound formed by the chemical combination of two or more non-metals is called a molecular compound or covalent compound.

For example, Xe and Cl are non-metals. The compound formed by them is $XeCl_{4}$ which is a molecular compound.

A molecular compound is formed by sharing of atoms between the combining atoms.

Whereas NaF, $MnCl_{2}$ and CaO are all ionic compounds as they are formed by chemical combination of a metal and a non-metal.

Thus, we can conclude that among the listed substances $XeCl_{4}$ is the molecular compound.

If sodium arsenite is Na3AsO3, the formula for calcium arsenite would be

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Ca₃(AsO₃)₂

Explanation:

Sodium arsenite, with the chemical formula Na₃AsO₃, is formed by the cation Na⁺ and the anion AsO₃³⁻. For the molecule to be neutral, 3 cations Na⁺ and 1 anion AsO₃³⁻ are required.

Calcium arsenite would be formed by the cation Ca²⁺ and the anion AsO₃³⁻. For the molecule to be neutral, we require 3 cations Ca²⁺ and 2 anions AsO₃³⁻. The resulting chemical formula is Ca₃(AsO₃)₂.

A ball is dropped from a height of 1.20 m and hits the floor. The ball compresses and then reforms to spring upwards from the fl

diamong [38]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{98 m$\cdot$s}^{-2}}$

Explanation:

The formula for the velocity of the ball is

$v = \sqrt{2gh}$

1. Velocity at time of impact

$v = -\sqrt{2 \times 9.807 \times 1.20} = -\sqrt{23.54} = -\textbf{4.85 m/s}$

2. Velocity on rebound

The ball has enough upward velocity to reach a height of 0.86 m.

$v = \sqrt{2 \times 9.807 \times 0.86} = \sqrt{16.87} =\textbf{4.11 m/s}$

3. Acceleration

$a = \dfrac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} = \dfrac{4.11 - (-4.85)}{ 0.091} = \dfrac{8.96 }{0.091} =\textbf{98 m$\cdot$s}^{\mathbf{-2}}\\\\\text{The acceleration while the ball is in contact with the floor is $\large \boxed{\textbf{98 m$\cdot$s}^{\mathbf{-2}}}$}$
