Answer:

If a compound is made from a metal and a non-metal, its bonding will be ionic. If a compound is made from two non-metals, its bonding will be covalent.

What is the mass (in grams) of 9.83 × 1024 molecules of methanol (CH3OH)?
Ber [7]
<span>523 grams First, calculate the molar mass of CH3OH Atomic weight of carbon = 12.0107 Atomic weight of hydrogen = 1.00794 Atomic weight of oxygen = 15.999 Molar mass of CH3OH = 12.0107 + 4 * 1.00794 + 15.999 = 32.04146 Now determine how many moles you have by dividing the number of atoms by avogadro's number moles = 9.83 x 10^24 / 6.0221409 x 10^23 = 16.3231 Now multiply the number of moles by the molar mass 16.3231 * 32.04146 = 523.0159557 Since we only have 3 significant figures, round the result to 3 significant figures. 523.0159557 grams = 523 grams</span>

Cyclohexane, a commonly used organic solvent, is 85.6% c and 14.4% h by mass with a molar mass of 84.2 g/mol. what is its molecu
puteri [66]

The molecular  formula of   organic solvent  is    <em>C6H12</em>


<h2>calculation</h2><h3>find the empirical formula first as in step 1 and 2</h3>

Step 1: f<em>ind the moles of C and H</em>

  • moles =  % composition/molar mass
  •       from periodic table molar mass of C= 12 g/mol while that of H= 1 g/mol
  • moles is  C is therefore = 85.6/12=  7. 13 moles
  •  moles of H=  14.4/1 - 14.4 moles

  Step 2:  <em>calculate the mole  fraction  by dividing each mole by smallest number of mole(7.13)</em>

  • that is C= 7.13/7.13 = 1

         H=  14.4/7.13 =2

the empirical formula is therefore = CH2

<h2>Then calculate the molecular formula from empirical formula</h2>

step 3: divide the  grams molar mass  by empirical formula mass

               empirical formula mass =  12+(1 x2) = 14 g/mol

    = 84.2/ 14 = 6

step 4: multiply  each of the subscript  within the empirical  formula with the value gotten in step 3

  • that is  [CH2]6 = C6H12  therefore the molecular formula = <u>C6H12</u>

Which observation most likely indicates that only a chemical change has taken place
salantis [7]

The correct answer as to which observation most likely indicates that only a chemical change has taken place would that the change cannot be reversed.

When it comes to changes in a system, it can either be:

  • physical change
  • chemical change

When a substance undergoes a physical change, the original version of the substance can be recovered. In other words, physical changes can be reversible.

When a substance undergoes a chemical change, the original version cannot be recovered because an entirely new product would have been formed. In other words, chemical changes are irreversible.

Thus, once a change becomes irreversible, such a change is said to be a chemical change.

Write the Lewis structure for the following<br> H20<br> So2
Tasya [4]

See the sketch attached.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

The Lewis structure of a molecule describes

  • the number of bonds it has,
  • the source of electrons in each bond, and
  • the position of any lone pairs of electrons.

Atoms are most stable when they have eight or no electrons in their valence shell (or two, in case of hydrogen.)

  • Each oxygen atom contains six valence electrons. It demands <em>two</em> extra electrons to be chemically stable.
  • Each sulfur atom contains six valence electrons. It demands <em>two </em> extra electrons to be chemically stable.
  • Each hydrogen atom demands <em>one</em> extra electron to be stable.

H₂O contains two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. It would take an extra 2 + 2  × 1 = 4 electrons for all its three atoms are stable. Atoms in an H₂O would achieve that need by sharing electrons. It would form a total of 4 / 2 = 2 O-H bonds.

Each O-H bond contains one electron from oxygen and one from hydrogen. Hydrogen has no electron left. Oxygen has six electrons. Two of them have went to the two O-H bonds. The remaining four become 4 / 2 = 2 lone pairs. The lone pairs repel the O-H bonds. By convention, they are placed on top of the two H atoms.

Similarly, atoms in a SO₂ molecule demands an extra 2 × 2 + 2 = 6 electrons for its three atoms to become chemically stable. It would form 6 / 2 = 3 chemical bonds. Loops are unlikely in molecules without carbon. As a result, one of the two O atoms would form two bonds with the S atom while the other form only one.

Atoms are unstable with an odd number of valence electrons. The S atom in SO₂ would have become unstable if it contribute one electron to each of the three bond. It would end up with 3 × 2 + 3 = 9 valence electrons. One possible solution is that it contributes two electrons in one particular bond. One of the three bonds would be a coordinate covalent bond, with both electrons in that bond from the S atom. In some textbooks this type of bonds are also known as dative bonds.

Dots and crosses denotes the origin of electrons in a bond. Use the same symbol for electrons from the same atom. Electrons from the oxygen atoms O are shown in blue in the sketch. They don't have to be colored.

The electrolysis of molten NaCl is an industrial process. What does the electrolysis produce?
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

it is D

Explanation:

NaOH and chlorine gas

Electrolysis of Aqueous NaCl Since water can be both oxidized and reduced, it competes with the dissolved Na+ and Cl– ions. Rather than producing sodium, hydrogen is produced. ... The net process is the electrolysis of an aqueous solution of NaCl into industrially useful products sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and chlorine gas.
