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.

The formula for calcium oxide is CaO. What are the formulas for magnesium oxide and strontium oxide?
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

Formula of magnesium oxide is MgO and formula of strontium oxide is SrO

Explanation:

Ca, Mg and Sr are same group bivalent metals.

Oxygen is a bivalent element

In general, formula of a compound made of a cation M^{x+} and an anion A^{y-} is M_{y}A_{x} for x\neq y

When x = y, formula of the compound becomes MA

As both these metals and oxygen are bivalent therefore formula of magnesium oxide is MgO and formula of strontium oxide is SrO.

What is the limiting reagent when 49.84 g of nitrogen react with 10.7 g of hydrogen according to this balanced equation: n2(g) 3
Gennadij [26K]
Moles of nitrogen = 49.84 / 28 = 1.78
Moles of hydrogen = 10.7 / 2 = 5.35

Molar ratio of nitrogen to hydrogen = 1 : 3
Hydrogen required = 1.78 x 3 = 5.34

Therefore, hydrogen is in excess and nitrogen is the limiting reagent.
