What kind of intermolecular forces act between a hydrogen cyanide molecule and a potassium cation?

Chemistry

andriy [413]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

ion-dipole

Explanation:

Let us remember that the potassium cation is an ion, a positive ion to be precise.

There is a dipole existing in the hydrogen cyanide molecule. The positive end of the dipole is on hydrogen while the negative end of the dipole is on the cyanide moiety.

The only possible interaction between the potassium cation and the hydrogen cyanide is an ion dipole interaction. The cation interacts with the cyanide moiety having a partial negative charge in the molecule.

kupik [55]

Answer :

Covalent compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms forming a compound.

The covalent compound are usually formed when two non-metals react.

Ionic compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed when electron gets transferred from one atom to another atom.

All the polyatomic ions always form an ionic compound.

Polyatomic ions : It is a charged species that composed of two or more atoms and these charged species are bonded by the covalent bond.

For the given options:

Option A:  KClO_4

This compound is formed by the combination of potassium, K^+ which is a metal and ClO_4^- ion which is a polyatomic ion. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.

Option B:  Mg(C_2H_3O_2)_2

This compound is formed by the combination of magnesium, Mg^{2+} which is a metal and C_2H_3O_2^{-} ion which is a polyatomic ion. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.

Option C:  H_2S

Hydrogen and sulfur, both are non-metals and they will form a covalent compound.

Option D:  Ag_2S

This compound is formed by the combination of silver, Ag^{+} which is a metal and sulfur, S^{2-} which is a non-metal. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.

Option E:  N_2Cl_4

Nitrogen and chlorine, both are non-metals and they will form a covalent compound.

Option F:  Co(NO_3)_2

This compound is formed by the combination of cobalt, Co^{2+} which is a metal and NO_3^{-} ion which is a polyatomic ion. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.

Some fertilizer blends contain magnesium nitrate (MgNO3). Suppose that a chemist has 1.24 liters of a 2.13 M solution of magnesi
VLD [36.1K]

The  volume of the new solution is

calculation

by use of the formula

M1V1= M2V2

M1 (molarity 1)  = 2.13 M

V1 (volume 1) = 1.24 l

M2 ( molarity 2) = 1.60 M

V2 (volume 2) = ?

by making V2 the subject of the formula

V2 = M1 V1/ M2

V2=( 1.24  x 2.13)÷ 1.60=  1.651 L
