Answer:

Atoms must have similar electronegativities in order to share electrons in a covalent bond.

Explanation:

Covalent bonding is one of the bondings that occurs between the atoms of elements. It is the bonding in which atoms share their valence electrons with one another. However, the ELECTRONEGATIVITY, which is the ability of an atom to be attracted to electrons play a major role in the formation of covalent bonds.

When atoms of different electronegativities combine, the more electronegative atom pulls more electrons towards itself, hence, an IONIC bond is formed. However, when the electronegativities of the atoms are similar, the sharing of their electrons becomes stronger. Hence, ATOMS MUST HAVE SIMILAR ELECTRONEGATIVITIES in order to share electrons in a covalent bond.

Answer:

1. Uniform, non visible

2. Visible, non uniform

3. Uniform, non visible

4. Visible, non uniform

5. Visible, non uniform

Explanation:

A heterogeneous mixture is simply any mixture that is not uniform in composition — it's a non-uniform mixture of smaller constituent parts. By contrast, a mixture that is uniform in composition is a homogenous mixture

visible state of matter is when you can easily difference two components of a mixture

non visible is when the state of the matter in the substance is not visible to the eye, it can't be differentiated

Why does liquid exerts pressure

andriy [413]

Answer:

The particles of fluids are constantly moving in all directions at random. As the particles move, they keep bumping into each other and into anything else in their path. These collisions cause pressure, and the pressure is exerted equally in all directions.

Write a molecular equation for the precipitation reaction that occurs (if any) when the following solutions are mixed. If no rea

iragen [17]

Answer :

(A) The balanced molecular equation will be:

$K_2CO_3(aq)+Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow 2KNO_3(aq)+PbCO_3(s)$

(B) The balanced molecular equation will be:

$Li_2SO_4(aq)+Pb(CH_3COOH)_2(aq)\rightarrow 2LiCH_3COOH(aq)+PbSO_4(s)$

(C) The balanced molecular equation will be:

$Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)+Na_2S(aq)\rightarrow 2NaNO_3(aq)+CuS(s)$

(D) The balanced molecular equation will be:

$Sr(NO_3)_2(aq)+2KI(aq)\rightarrow \text{No reaction}$

Explanation :

Molecular equation : It is defined as a balanced chemical equation where the ionic compounds are expressed in the form of molecules rather than component of ions.

Precipitation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which an insoluble salt formed when two aqueous solutions are combined.

The insoluble salt that settle down in the solution is known an precipitate.

Part A : potassium carbonate and lead(II) nitrate

The balanced molecular equation will be:

$K_2CO_3(aq)+Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow 2KNO_3(aq)+PbCO_3(s)$

In this reaction, lead carbonate is an insoluble salt and potassium nitrate is a soluble solution.

Part B : lithium sulfate and lead(II) acetate

The balanced molecular equation will be:

$Li_2SO_4(aq)+Pb(CH_3COOH)_2(aq)\rightarrow 2LiCH_3COOH(aq)+PbSO_4(s)$

In this reaction, lead sulfate is an insoluble salt and lithium acetate is a soluble solution.

Part C : copper(II) nitrate and sodium sulfide

The balanced molecular equation will be:

$Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)+Na_2S(aq)\rightarrow 2NaNO_3(aq)+CuS(s)$

In this reaction, Cuprous sulfide is an insoluble salt and sodium nitrate is a soluble solution.

Part D : strontium nitrate and potassium iodide

The balanced molecular equation will be:

$Sr(NO_3)_2(aq)+2KI(aq)\rightarrow 2KNO_3(aq)+SrI_2(aq)$

In this reaction, strontium iodide and potassium nitrate are soluble solution.

$Sr(NO_3)_2(aq)+2KI(aq)\rightarrow \text{No reaction}$

Be sure to answer all parts.The equilibrium constant, Kc, for the formation of nitrosyl chloride from nitric oxide and chlorine,

djverab [1.8K]

<u>Answer:</u> The reaction proceeds in the forward direction

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given chemical equation:

$2NO(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NOCl(g)$

Relation of $K_p\text{ with }K_c$ is given by the formula:

$K_p=K_c(RT)^{\Delta n_g}$

where,

$K_p$ = equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressure = ?

$K_c$ = equilibrium constant in terms of concentration = $6.5\times 10^4$

R = Gas constant = $0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = temperature = $35^oC=[35+273]K=308K$

$\Delta n_g$ = change in number of moles of gas particles = $n_{products}-n_{reactants}=2-3=-1$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$K_p=6.5\times 10^4\times (0.0821\times 500)^{-1}\\\\K_p=1583.43$

$K_p$ is the constant of a certain reaction at equilibrium while $Q_p$ is the quotient of activities of products and reactants at any stage other than equilibrium of a reaction.
