Answer:

KCl

Explanation:

Look at the electronegativity differences between the pairs of elements:

KCl: 3.16 - 0.82 = 2.34

BeCl: 3.16 - 1.57 = 1.59

LiCl: 3.16 - 0.98 = 2.18

ClO: 3.44 - 3.16 = 0.28

KCl has the highest electronegativity difference; thus it is the most ionic bond of the 4.

Nitric acid, a major industrial and laboratory acid, is produced commercially by the multi-step Ostwald process, which begins wi

Marizza181 [45]

Answer: 3.178 Kg of ammonia must be used to produce 7.839 kg of nitric acid and The equations are not balanced. Explanation: Ostwald process is a multi-step for manufacturing Nitric Acid. First, We must check if our equations are balanced or not, by checking the amount of each element before and after the arrow. Step 1: NH3(g) + O2(g) ⟶ NO(g) + H2O(l) Step 2: NO(g) + O2(g) ⟶ NO2(g) Step 3: NO2(g) + H2O(l) ⟶ HNO3(l) + NO(g) For example in Step 1, the amount of Hydrogen atoms are different on both sides. On left side we can count 3 hydrogen atoms while on the right side we can count only 2 hydrogen atoms. In the Step 2, the amount of Oxygen atoms are different on both sides too. On the Left side we can count 3 oxygen atoms while on the right side we can count only 2 oxygen atoms and in step 3 the amount of Nitrogen atoms are different on both sides too. On the left side we can count 1 nitrogen atom while on the right side we can count 2 nitrogen atoms. So, Let´s balance equations by inspection, just adding coefficients to each compound, until the amount of atoms are equal on both sides. Step 1: 4NH3(g) + 5O2(g) ⟶4 NO(g) +6 H2O(l) Step 2: 2NO(g) + O2(g) ⟶ 2NO2(g) Step 3: 3NO2(g) + H2O(l) ⟶ 2HNO3(l) + NO(g) Second we gather the information what we are going to use in our calculations. Final Mass of HNO3 = 7,839Kg and Molecular Weigth = 63,01g/mol NH3 Molecular Weight= 17,031 g/mol Third we start discoverying the amount of NH3 that reacted completed to generate 7,839Kg of HNO3, using the giving equation and its respective molecular weights. 7,839Kg of HNO3 x 1000g / 1Kg x 1mol HNO3 / 63,01g HNO3 x 3mol NO2 / 2 mol HNO3 x 2 mol NO/ 2 mol NO2 x 4 mol NH3/4 mol NO x 17,031g NH3/1 mol NH3 x 1 Kg / 1000g= 3,178 Kg NH3 The amount of NH3 that is required to produce 7,839 Kg of HNO3 is 3,178 Kg NH3

What does the kinetic theory state?

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

Kinetic molecular theory of gasses stated that,

1) Gases consist of large number of smaller particles which are distance apart from each others.

2) The gas molecules collide with each other and also with wall of container and this collision is elastic.

3) Gas molecules are in continuous random motion and posses kinetic energy.

4) The forces of attraction between gas molecules are very small and considered negligible.

5) The temperature of gas is directly proportional to average kinetic energy of gas molecules.

What is the oxidation state of S in H₂SO4?<br> OA. +8<br> OB. +6<br> OC. -4<br> OD. -2

slega [8]

Answer:

B.) +6

Explanation:

To find the oxidation number of sulfur, we can assume the oxidation numbers of the other elements.

What I mean is, oxygen (O) always has an oxidation number of (-2). That being said, if there are 4 oxygen atoms, oxygen is contributing -8 overall. We also know that hydrogen generally has an oxidation number of (+1). Like before, if there are 2 hydrogens, it must be contributing +2.

If the overall molecule is neutral, we have to get these charges to balance out.

In essence, -8 + 2 + ? = 0?

If you combine the charges from oxygen and hydrogen, you are left with -6. Therefore, to make the molecule neutral, sulfur must have an oxidation number of +6.

How does a rock’s mass change when it goes through the rock cycle?

JulijaS [17]

The rock cycle is the process of converting rock between igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic forms. ... Molten rock inside the Earth undergoes a phase change as it cools to produce solid igneous rock. The chemical changes which form the rock depend on the type of minerals present and how fast the rock cools.
