Answer:

have high melting and boiling points
are hard
are good conductors of electricity when dissolved in water

Explanation:

Ionic compounds are compounds that are formed between a metal and non-metal with a significant electronegativity difference. The metals transfers their electrons to the non-metals and the electrostatic attraction of the ions brings about the bonding that forms the compound.

Ionic compounds are diverse in nature and form.

Here are some of their properties:

They are usually hard solids with a high melting point or liquids with high boiling points
They are soluble in water and non-soluble in non-polar solvents
They are able to conduct electricity in molten form.
They undergo very fast reaction in aqueous solutions.

Predict the chemical formula of the compound that will form when Li and o interact.

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

$Li_2O$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, when looking over the chemical formula of a compound formed when two elements interact, we need to realize about their location in the periodic table; thus, since lithium is a metal and oxygen a nonmetal, we infer lithium turns out the cation and oxygen the anion. Moreover, as the oxidation state of lithium is 1+ and that of oxygen is 2-, we can set up the chemical formula as follows:

$Li^+O^{2-}\\\\Li_2O$

How do volcanos such as ojos del salado form?

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Deep inside Earth, between the molten iron core and the thin crust at the surface, there is a solid body of rock called the mantle. When rock from the mantle melts, moves to the surface through the crust, and releases pent-up gases, volcanoes erupt.

Explanation: hot molten rock, ash, and gases escape from the volcano

List four greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. For each gas, describe its prevalence in the atmosphere, its natural sources, its

lakkis [162]

Answer: Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Nitrous Oxide and Fuorinated Gases

Explanation:Carbon dioxide (CO2): Carbon dioxide enters the atmosphere through burning fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and oil), solid waste, trees and other biological materials, and also as a result of certain chemical reactions (e.g., manufacture of cement). Carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere (or "sequestered") when it is absorbed by plants as part of the biological carbon cycle.

Methane (CH4): Methane is emitted during the production and transport of coal, natural gas, and oil. Methane emissions also result from livestock and other agricultural practices and by the decay of organic waste in municipal solid waste landfills.

Nitrous oxide (N2O): Nitrous oxide is emitted during agricultural and industrial activities, combustion of fossil fuels and solid waste, as well as during treatment of wastewater.

Fluorinated gases: Hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, sulfur hexafluoride, and nitrogen trifluoride are synthetic, powerful greenhouse gases that are emitted from a variety of industrial processes. Fluorinated gases are sometimes used as substitutes for stratospheric ozone-depleting substances (e.g., chlorofluorocarbons, hydrochlorofluorocarbons, and halons). These gases are typically emitted in smaller quantities, but because they are potent greenhouse gases, they are sometimes referred to as High Global Warming Potential gases ("High GWP gases").

20 mL of Ba(OH)2 solution with unknown concentration was neutralized by the addition of 43.89 mL of a .1355 M HCl solution. Calc

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Concentration of the barium ions = $[Ba^{2+}] = 0.4654 M$

Concentration of the chloride ions = $[Cl^{-}]=0.9308 M$

Explanation:

$Moles (n)=Molarity(M)\times Volume (L)$

Moles of hydrogen chloride = n

Volume of hydrogen chloride solution = 43.89 mL = 0.04389 L

Molarity of the hydrogen chloride = 0.1355 M

$n=0.1355 M\times 0.04389 L=0.005947 mol$

$Ba(OH)_2+2HCl\rightarrow BaCl_2+2H_2O$

According to reaction, 2 moles of HCl reacts with 1 mole of barium hydroxide.

Then 0.05947 moles of HCl will react with:

$\frac{1}{2}\times 0.05947 mol=0.029735 mol$ barium hydroxide

Moles of barium hydroxide = 0.029735 mol

$Ba(OH)_2(aq)\rightarrow Ba^{2+}(aq)+2OH^-(aq)$

1 mole of barium hydroxide gives 1 mole of barium ion in an aqueous solution. Then 0.029735 moles of barium hydroxide will give:

$=1\times 0.029735 mol= 0.029735 mol$

Volume of solution after neutralization reaction :

= 20.0 mL + 43.89 mL = 63.89 mL = 0.06389 L

Concentration of the barium ions = $[Ba^{2+}]$

$[Ba^{2+}]=\frac{0.029735 mol}{0.06389 L}=0.4654 M$

$Ba(Cl)_2(aq)\rightarrow Ba^{2+}(aq)+2Cl^-(aq)$

1 mole of barium chloride gives 1 mole of barium ions and 2 moles of chloride ions in an aqueous solution.

Then concentration of chloride ions will be:

$[Cl^-]=2\times [Ba^{2+}]=2\times 0.4654 M=0.9308 M$

For which purpose do biochemists insert human genes into bacteria?

forsale [732]

Insertion of human genes into bacteria, also known as recombinant DNA technology, is used for the large scale production of human insulin, using bacteria as the insulin-producing machinery. The gene containing information for insulin production is inserted into the DNA of bacteria, which transcribe and translate it, and insulin is produced.
