For each row in the table below, decide whether the pair of elements will form a molecular or ionic compound. If they will, then

Olin [163]

Answer:

$\begin{array}{cccll}\textbf{Element 1} & \textbf{ Element 2} &\textbf{Compound?} &\textbf{Formula} &\textbf{Type}\\\text{Ar}&\text{Xe} &\text{No} &\text{None}&\text{Neither}\\\text{F}& \text{Cs} &\text{Yes} &\text{CsF} &\text{Ionic}\\\text{N} &\text{Br} &\text{Yes} & \text{NBr}_{3}&\text{molecular} \\\end{array}$

Explanation:

You look at the type of atom and their electronegativity difference.

If ΔEN <1.6, covalent; if ΔEN >1.6, ionic

Ar/Xe: Noble gases; no reaction

F/Cs: Non-metal + metal; ΔEN = |3.98 – 0.79| = 3.19; Ionic

N/Br: Two nonmetals; ΔEN = |3.04 - 2.98| = 0.

What is the correct sequence of coefficients when this equation is balanced? ___cs2(l) + ___o2(g) → ___co2(g) + ___so2(g)?

iris [78.8K]

Answer: the sequence is 1, 3, 1, 2.

Explanation:

1) Given equation: CS₂(l) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + SO₂(g)

2) To balance:

i) initially C is balanced: 1 atom in the left side, and 1 atom in the right sides

ii) Add coefficient 2 in front of SO₂ to have 2 atoms in each side.

That leads to: CS₂(l) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2SO₂(g)

iii) Count the O atoms; there are 2 atoms in the left, and 6 atoms in the right side. So, add a coefficient 3 in front of O₂ (in the left) and you get:

CS₂(l) + 3O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2SO₂(g)

4) You can verigy that now the equation is balanced:

C: 1 in the left, and 1 in the right

S: 2 in the left, and 2 in the right

O: 6 in the left, and 6 in the right.

5) So, the sequence is 1, 3, 1, 2.

Remember, when the none coefficient is shown it is because it is 1.

Which one of the following is not a homogeneous mixture?

Kitty [74]

Vegetable soup should be the correct answer. The reason for this is that it can easily be split, where as the rest would be very difficault if not imposible because of chemical change.
