Chemistry

Answer:

KCl

Explanation:

Hello,

Potassium chloride is well-known as an ionic compound owing to the shown-below greater-than-1.7 difference between the electronegativities of potassium and chlorine:

\Delta E=E_{Cl}-E_K=3.16-0.82\\\Delta E=2.34

This is by cause of the fact that such compounds that have a difference in the constituent elements' electronegativities greater than 1.7 are considered as ionic.

Best regards.

KCI is not a covalent compound, it is an ionic compound. 
A covalent compound is one in which each of the atoms involved contribute a specific number of electrons for sharing in order to from stable compound while an ionic compound is a compound formed when one atom donates electron to the other atom in the compound, in order to attain stability.  The compounds given in options A, B and D shared electrons while in KCl, potassium donates an electron to chlorine.

A solution is made by dissolving
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

THE MOLARITY IS 2.22 MOL/DM3

Explanation:

The solution formed was as a result of dissolving 37.5 g of Na2S in 217 g of water

Relative molecular mass of Na2S = ( 23* 2 + 32) = 78 g/mol

Molarity in g/dm3 is the amount of the substance dissolved in 1000 g or 1 L of the solvent. So we have;

37.5 g of Na2S = 217 g of water

( 37.5 * 1000 / 217 ) g = 1000 g of water

So, 172.81 g/dm3 of the solution

So therefore, molarity in mol/dm3 = mol in g/dm3 / molar mass

Molarity = 172.81 g/dm3 / 78 g/mol

Molarity = 2.22 mol/dm3

The molarity of the solution is 2.22 mol/dm3

When the ph of an aqueous solution is changed from 1 to 2, the concentration of hydronium ions in the solution is.
kiruha [24]

Answer:

decreased by a factor of 10

Explanation:

pH is defined in such a way that;

pH= −log10(H)

Where H represents the concentration of Hydronium or Hydrogen ions

Given that pH is changed from 1 to 2,

By rearranging the above formula , we get 10−pH = H

  • if pH=1,H=10−1=0.1M
  • if pH=2,H=10−2=0.01M

Therefore,  0.1/0.01 = 10 and 0.1 > 0.01

Hence, the concentration of hydronium ions in the solution is decreased by a factor of 10

Are plant cells affected when water is scarce
boyakko [2]
<span>Water is vital to the existence of plant life. Not only do plants use it to keep their cells from drying out, but they need water to move nutrients and raw materials throughout their systems to areas where photosynthesis and seed production take place. When water stress occurs, whether caused by drought or root impairment, many invisible processes are affected.</span>

A radioactive nuclide is used to detect eye tumors. An atom of this radionuclide contains 15 protons, 15 electrons, and
statuscvo [17]

Answer: ³²P

Explanation:

The radionuclide in question is known as Phosphorus-32. It is an isotope of Phosphorus that is radioactive and has one more neutron than the normal phosphorus does.

Phosphorus does not exist in nature and is created artificially by bombarding the normal stable phosphorus with neutrons. Due to its radioactive nature, it has proven to be useful in the medical industry where it has been used to detect eye tumors as well as in treating some diseases.
