Explanation:

Ionic bonds form when a nonmetal and a metal exchange electrons, while covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between two nonmetals. ... A covalent bond involves a pair of electrons being shared between atoms. Atoms form covalent bonds in order to reach a more stable state.

How many moles of oxygen atoms are in 7.9E-1 moles of CO_2

Ilya [14]

Answer:

The number of moles of O atom in $(7.9\times10^{-1})$ mol of $CO_{2}$ = 1.6

Explanation:

1 molecule of $CO_{2}$ contains 2 atoms of O

So, $(6.023\times 10^{23})$ molecules of $CO_{2}$ contains $(2\times6.023\times10^{23})$ atoms of O.

We know that 1 mol of an atom/molecule/ion represents $6.023\times10^{23}$ numbers of atoms/molecules/ions respectively.

So, $(6.023\times 10^{23})$ molecules of $CO_{2}$ is equal to 1 mol of $CO_{2}$ .

$(2\times6.023\times10^{23})$ atoms of O is equal to 2 moles of O atom.

Hence, 1 mol of $CO_{2}$ contains 2 moles of O atom.

Therefore, $(7.9\times10^{-1})$ mol of $CO_{2}$ contains $(2\times7.9\times10^{-1})$ moles of O atom or 1.6 moles of O atom.

How would you prepare 3.5 L of a 0.9M solution of KCl?

Fudgin [204]

Calculate the mass of the solute in the solution :

Molar mass KCl = 74.55 g/mol

m = Molarity * molar mass * volume

m = 0.9 * 74.55 * 3.5

m = 234.8325 g

To prepare 0.9 M KCl solution, weigh 234.8325 g of salt in an analytical balance, dissolve in a beaker, shortly after transfer with the help of a funnel of transfer to a volumetric flask of 100 cm³ and complete with water up to the mark, then cover the balloon and finally shake the solution to mix

hope this helps!

What is the chemical formula for a compound between Li and Br?

natima [27]

LiBr.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Note that the group number in this answer refers to the new IUPAC group number, which ranges from 1 to 18. Counts from the left. Start with the first two column (group 1 and 2), go on to the transition elements (Sc, Ti, etc. in group 3 through 12), and continue with the nonmetals (group 13 through 18).

Li is a group 1 metal. As a metal, it tends to form positive ions ("cations"). Metals in group 1 and 2 are main group metals. The charge on main group metal ions tends to be the same as the group number of the metal. Li is in group 1. The charge on an Li ion will be +1. Formula of the Li ion will be $\text{Li}^{+}$ .

Br is a group 17 nonmetal. As a nonmetal, it tends to form negative ions ("anions"). The charge on nonmetal ions excepting for H tends to equal the group number of the nonmetal minus 18. Br is in group 17. The charge on a Br ion will be 17 - 18 = -1. Formula of the Br ion will be $\text{Br}^{-}$

All the ions in an ionic compound carry charge. However, some of the ions like $\text{Li}^+$ are positive. Others ions like $\text{Br}^{-}$ are negative. Charge on the two types of ions balance each other. As a result, the compound is overall neutral.

1 × (+1) + 1 × (-1) = 0. The positive charge on one $\text{Li}^{+}$ ion balances the negative charge on one $\text{Br}^{-}$ ion. The two ions would pair up at a 1:1 ratio.

The empirical formula for an ionic compound shows all the ions in the compound. Positive ions are written in front of negative ions. $\text{Li}^{+}$ is positive and $\text{Br}^{-}$ is negative. The formula shall also show the simplest ratio between the ions. For the compound between Li and Br, a 1:1 ratio will be the simplest. The "1" subscript in an empirical formula can be omitted. Hence the formula: LiBr.
