Answer:

A new fictitious element was discovered.

It is a metal named jolmium, J, and it has three valence electrons.

If it combines with iodine it forms jolmium iodide. Answer the following questions.

a.Is this compound ionic or covalent

b. What is the formula of Jolmium iodide?

c. What is the charge on the metal J in this compound?

d. Explain how you know that is the charge?

Explanation:

It is given the element jolmium J is a metal with three valence electrons.

Since metals are highly electropositive, they lose electrons easily and form cations (Ions with a positive charge).

$J^{3+}$ ion will be formed.

b) The formula of jolmium iodide is shown below:

$J^{+3} I^{-1}\\The formula becomes:\\JI_{3}$

a) The compound is ionic in nature.

Since the compound formed between a metal atom and a nonmetal atom will take place by transfer of electrons.

Hence, it is ionic in nature.

c) The charge on the metal J in this compound is +3.

d) Given J has three valence electrons.

That means it can lose three electrons to form a bond.

So, its valency is three.

Which is the correct net ionic equation for the following reaction: H3PO4 (aq) + 3 LiOH (aq) > Li3PO4 (aq) + 3 H2O (l)?

torisob [31]

Answer: The correct option for the chemical equation $H_3PO_4(aq.)+3LiOH(aq.)\rightarrow Li_3PO_4(aq.)+3H_2O(l)$ is 1.

The correct option for the chemical equation $2HBr(aq.)+Co(OH)_2(aq.)\rightarrow CoBr_2(aq.)+2H_2O(l)$ is 3.

Explanation:

For the chemical equation:

$H_3PO_4(aq.)+3LiOH(aq.)\rightarrow Li_3PO_4(aq.)+3H_2O(l)$

$H_3PO_4$ is a weak acid and hence will not dissociate into ions whereas LiOH is a strong base and will easily dissociate into ions.

The product $Li_3PO_4$ is soluble in water and hence, will dissociate into its respective ions. Hence, the ionic equation for this reaction is:

$H_3PO_4(aq.)+3Li^{3+}(aq.)+3OH^-(aq.)\rightarrow 3Li^{3+}(aq.)+PO_4^{3-}(aq.)+3H_2O(l)$

Net ionic equation becomes:

$H_3PO_4(aq.)+3OH^-(aq.)\rightarrow PO_4^{3-}(aq.)+3H_2O(l)$

So, the correct option is 1.

For the chemical equation:

$2HBr(aq.)+Co(OH)_2(aq.)\rightarrow CoBr_2(aq.)+2H_2O(l)$

HBr and $Co(OH)_2$ are strong acid and strong base respectively, hence they will easily dissociate into ions.

The product, $CoBr_2$ is is soluble in water and hence, will dissociate into its respective ions. Hence, the ionic equation for this reaction is:

$2H^+(aq.)+2Br^-(aq.)+Co^{2+}(aq.)+2OH^-(aq.)\rightarrow Co^{2+}(aq.)+2Br^-(aq.)+H_2O(l)$

The net ionic equation becomes:

$H^+(aq.)+OH^-(aq.)\rightarrow H_2O(l)$

So, the correct option is 3.

Which of the following is the correct chemical formula for Ca and F? CaF Ca2F CaF2

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

CaF2

Explanation:

Calcium fluoride is a solid formed by the chemical combination of Calcium (Ca) and Fluorine (F). Two molecules of fluorine (F2) and one molecule of Calcium (Ca) are needed to form the Calcium Fluoride molecule.

An ionic bond is formed between the Calcium and Fluorine atoms i.e. electrons are transferred from calcium atoms to fluorine atoms. The calcium ion is a cation with formula; Ca2+ while fluorine is an anion with formula; F-. Hence, it takes two molecules of Fluorine ion (F-) to form a relatively stable and neutral molecule with 1 molecule of Calcium ion (Ca2+).

What is the number of moles in 15.0 g AsH3?

pentagon [3]

We are given with the mass of Arsine ( $AsH_{3}$

The mass of arsine is 15g

there is a relation between moles, mass and molar mass of any compound which is

$moles=\frac{mass}{molarmass}$

The molar mass of Arsine = atomic mass of As + 3X atomic mass of H

the molar mass of Arsine = 74.92 + 3X 1 = 77.92 g/mol

Let us calculate the moles as

$moles=\frac{15}{77.92}=0.192mol$

What is the mass, in grams, of 28.58 mL of acetone?

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

<span>If you look up the density of Acetone (Propanone in IUPAC names) you will find it is 0.7925g/cm3. This is the same as 0.7925g/ml.

You can calculate mass using the equation:- mass = density x volume
In your example mass = 0.7925 x 28.40 = 22.51g</span><span>
I think That's right. Hope this helps!!! Good luck!</span>

What is the conclusive evidence that mixing sugar in the water is a physical change

djyliett [7]

THE DEFINITION OF PHYSICAL CHANGE: Physical changes are changes affecting the form of a chemical substance, but not its chemical composition. Physical changes are used to separate mixtures into their component compounds, but can not usually be used to separate compounds into chemical elements or simpler compounds. so the answer is that the form of the sugar is changing in water but if you boiled the water till its all evaporated all that will be left is the sugar
