An unknown solid is entirely soluble in water. On addition of dilute HCl, a precipitate forms. After the precipitate is filtered

off, the pH is adjusted to about 1 and H2S is bubbled in; a precipitate again forms. After filtering off this precipitate, the pH is adjusted to 8 and H2S is again added; no precipitate forms. No precipitate forms upon addition of (NH4)2HPO4. The remaining solution shows a yellow color in a flame test.
Based on these observations, which of the following compounds might be present, which are definitely present, and which are definitely absent.
CdS, Pb(NO3)2, HgO, ZnSO4, Cd(NO3)2, and Na2SO4

Answer:

Pb(NO3)2

Cd(NO3)2

Na2SO4

Explanation:

In the first part, addition of HCl leads to the formation of PbCl2 which is poorly soluble in water. This is the first precipitate that is filtered off.

When the pH is adjusted to 1 and H2S is bubbled in, CdS is formed. This is the second precipitate that is filtered off.

After this precipitate has been filtered off and the pH is adjusted to 8, addition of H2S and (NH4)2HPO4 does not lead to the formation of any other precipitate.

The yellow flame colour indicates the presence of Na^+ which must come from the presence of Na2SO4.

If two atoms have an electronegativity difference of 1.3, what type of bond would form between them?
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

The correct answer is b polar covalent

Explanation:

When two atoms joined by covalent bond has difference in their electronegativities at that time polarity arise.

    When the electronegativity difference is low such as 1.3 then the polar bond formed by the two atoms are called polar covalent bond.For example H2O

 on the other hand polar bond formed by two atoms having high difference in their electronegativities is called ionic bond.For example NaCl.

Which model of acids and bases would NOT define NH3 as a base (even though it is considered one by the other models)?
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is A) Arrhenius</em>

Explanation:

According to the Arrhenius concept of acids and bases, an acid must produce H+ ions when it is present in a solution and the base must produce OH- ions when placed in a solution.

Ammonia does not contain OH- ions of its own when dissolved in water.

The reaction of ammonia dissolving is water can be written as:

NH3     +    H2O     ⇌   NH4+ + OH−

As we can see from the equation, ammonia does form OH- ions but it does not have OH- ions on its own.

Hence, according to the Arrhenius concept, NH3 is not a base.

Why do most atoms form chemical bonds?
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Why do most atoms form chemical bonds? They want a full outer shell of electrons, so the lose, gain, or share electrons with other elements, forming compounds, until they have 8 valence electrons and become stable. Double and triple covalent bonds that have greater bond energy and are shorter than single bonds.

Describe how the meniscus is used to read volume measurements on a graduated cylinder
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:Tthe liquid in a graduated cylinder curves up at the edge where the liquid meets the wall of the cylinder. This curve in the liquid is called the meniscus and is used to determiine the volume of liquid in a graduated cylinder by observing the measurement tick closest to the bottom of the meniscus.

Explanation:

Hope it helps :D
