Answer:

C and D

Explanation:

Atoms with five, six or seven valance electrons gain electrons to complete the octet because it is more convenient for the atoms to gain three, two or one electron as compared to lose five, six or seven electrons. Thus atoms with five, six or seven valance electrons form negative ions by gaining electrons.

Atoms with one, two or three valance electrons lose the electrons to get complete octet because it is more convenient for the atoms to lose one two or three electrons as compared to gain the seven, six or five electrons. The atoms with one, two or three valance electrons form positive ions.

5.2 G of HCl are dissolved in 25 mL of solution. What is the molarity?

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

0.21 M

Explanation:

Molarity is the calculation of the solution in which the number of solute per liter of the solutions. It is the most common measurement unit that is used to measure the concentration of the solution.

The molarity is the unit that is used to measure or calculate the volume of the solvent. The amount of solvent is used in the chemical reaction.

The amount of the two solvent in the same quantity is measured by the formula called c1v1 and c2v2.

What is the ph of an aqueous solution with the hydronium ion concentration : [h3o+] = 3 x 10-5 m ?

BaLLatris [955]

The concentration of hydrogen can be shown as:

[H+ ] = 3 * 10-5 M

pH can be determined as:

pH = - log [H+ ]

= - log (3 * 10-5)

= 4.53

Thus the pH of solution is 4.53

The mass of magnesium, which has a density of 1.74 g/cm is 504.6 g.

Mass is the quantity of matter. Mass can be calculated by multiplying density by volume.

Magnesium is a chemical element with the atomic number 12. It is needed in the body in trace amounts. It can cause malnutrition in the body.

Mass = Density x volume

We know the density and the volume of magnesium.

Density = 1.74

Volume = 290

Density x volume

Putting the value in the equation

1.74 x 290 = 504.6 g

Thus, the mass of magnesium is 504.6 g.

Which pair of atoms has the highest electronegativity difference? Na-F Ca-F H-F C-F F-F

babunello [35]

The answer is Na-F. The F has highest electronegativity among these elements. So we need to find the element with smallest electronegativity. And this element is Na.

Which statement is FALSE? a. ΔHrxn is the heat of reaction. b. ΔErxn is a measure of heat. c. An exothermic reaction gives heat

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

b. ΔE rxn is a measure of heat

Explanation:

a. ΔHrxn is the heat of reaction. TRUE. ΔHrxn or change in enthalpy of reaction is per definition the change in heat that is involved in a chemical reaction.

b. ΔErxn is a measure of heat. FALSE. Is the change in internal energy of a reaction

c. An exothermic reaction gives heat off heat to the surroundings. TRUE. An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases heat.

d. Endothermic has a positive ΔH. TRUE. When a process is exothermic ΔH<0 and when the process is endothermic ΔH>0

e. Enthalpy is the sum of a system's internal energy and the product of pressure and volume. TRUE. Under constant pressure and volume the formula is ΔH = ΔE + PV
