Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The covalent network solid is composed of a network of strong covalent bonds rather than discreet molecules.

Covalent network solids are composed of atoms covalently bonded together into a three-dimensional network or layers of two-dimensional networks. Due to the strength of the covalent bonds, covalent network solids have high melting points(Khan Academy).

Examples of covalent network solids are Boron nitride, Silicon dioxide, diamond, graphite etc.

How many grams of mercury can be produced if 18.0 g of mercury (11) oxide decomposes?
NARA [144]

Answer:

18.0 g of mercury (11) oxide decomposes to produce 9.0 grams of mercury

Explanation:

Mercury oxide has molar mass of 216.6 g/ mol. It gas a molecular formula of HgO.

The decomposition of mercury oxide is given by the chemical equation below:

2HgO ----> 2Hg + O₂

2 moles of HgO decomposes to produce 1 mole of Hg

2 moles of HgO has a mass of 433.2 g

433.2 g of HgO produces 216.6 g of Hg

18.0 of HgO will produce 18 × 216.6/433.2 g of Hg = 9.0 g of Hg

Therefore, 18.0 g of mercury (11) oxide decomposes to produce 9.0 grams of mercury

27. Based on Reference Table S, which of the
Lorico [155]

Answer:

This question is incomplete but the correct option is B

Explanation:

This question is incomplete because of the absence of the "Reference Table S", however the question can still be answered in the absence of the table. The energy described in the question is the ionization energy (energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron in an atom). This question seeks to know the atom (from the options provided) with the least ionization energy.

Ionization energy increases from left to right across the period because it's easier to remove a single electron (valence electron) from the outermost shell than to remove two electrons from the same shell; thus the more the valence electrons (in a shell), the higher the ionization energy. Thus, bromine (Br) and tin (Sn) have high ionization energies because they have more number of electrons in there outermost shell.

<u>Berylium (Be) and strontium (Sr) are both in the group 2 of the periodic table because they both have 2 electrons in there outermost shell. Ionization energy decreases down a group. This is because the farther an electron is from the nucleus, the weaker the force of attraction between the nucleus and the electron. Thus, strontium (Sr) would have a lesser ionization energy between the two and would indeed have the least ionization among the options provided</u>. Hence, the correct option is B

How many hydrogen atoms are present in .46 moles of NH3
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

2.78 x 10²³

Explanation:

1 mole contains 6.02 x 10²³ hydrogen atoms => 0.46 mole contains 0.46(6.02 x 10²³) hydrogen atoms or 2.78 x 10²³ atoms.

Caution => When to use H vs H₂ => This problem is specific for 'hydrogen atoms' but some may simply say hydrogen. In such cases use H₂ or 'molecular hydrogen' is the focus. it's a matter of semantics, H vs H₂.

A 10kg body has an acceleration of 2 m/s. Find the force.
aksik [14]

Answer:

<h2>20 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 10 × 2

We have the final answer as

<h3>20 N</h3>
