Answer:

A covalent bond is the force of attraction that holds together two atoms that share a pair of electrons. It forms between atoms of the same or different nonmetals. In polar covalent bonds, one atom attracts the shared electrons more strongly and becomes slightly negative. The other atom becomes slightly positive

How many molecules of sodium oxide will be created if 187 grams of oxygen reacts with excess sodium? 4na o2 -> 2na2o

Leona [35]

Molecules of sodium oxide will be created if 187 grams of oxygen reacts with excess sodium will be 7.04 × 10 ²⁴ molecules.

Sodium oxide is Na₂O which is formed due to the reaction of sodium and oxygen.

Given,

Balanced chemical equation is :

4 Na(s) + O₂ (g) → 2Na₂O (s)

Now, the Mole ratio of O₂ and Na₂O is 1 mol O₂: 2 mol Na₂O

Molar mass O₂ = 32.00 g/mol

Now, let's find out the Number of moles of O₂ present in 187 grams of oxygen,

Number of moles of O₂ = Given mass in grams / molar mass of O₂

Number of moles of O₂ = 187 g / 32.00 g/mol

Number of moles of O₂ = 5.844 mol

Since, we know the Proportion is 1 mol O₂ : 2 mol Na₂O

Now, Number of moles of Na₂O required is,

2 mol Na₂O / 1 mol O₂ = 5.844 mol O₂ / x

x = 5.844 mol O₂ (2 mol Na₂O / 1 mol O₂)

x = 11.688 mol Na₂O

To calculate the Number of molecules of sodium oxide,

Number of molecules = Number of moles × Avogadro's number

Number of molecules = 11.688 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ molecules/mol =

Number of molecules = 7.04 × 10 ²⁴ molecules

Hence, the Number of molecules of sodium oxide required is 7.04 × 10²⁴ molecules.

A sample of water vapor condenses to form liquid water. What change in water

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Condensation is the process of water vapor condensing into liquid water.

Explanation:

"Water condenses on a can of cold soda. Water vapor in the air reaches its dew point as it cools in the air around the can, forming liquid drops of water. Condensation is the process where water vapor becomes liquid. It is the reverse of evaporation, where liquid water becomes a vapor." -National Geographic"

You take three compounds consisting of two elements and decompose them. To determine the relative masses of X, Y, and Z, you col

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

a) LAW OF MULTIPLE PROPORTIONS

b) 0.095g, 0.71g, 0.285g respectively

c) X2Y, YZ15, X6Y

d) hence mass of compound X = 21 x 0.045 = 0.95g

mass of compound Y = 21 x 0.955 = 20.05g

Explanation:

a) The assumptions made in solving this questions is the application of the LAW OF MULTIPLE PROPORTIONS. The Law of multiple proportions states that if two elements A and B combine together to form more than one compound, then the several masses of A which chemically combine with a fixed mass of B is in a simple ratio.

for example, copper forms two oxides ; copper(I) oxide (CuO) and copper(ii) oxide(Cu2O), it is possible for the two samples of the oxides to be reduced to Cu by reacting with Hydrogen gas. as such, certain masses of oxygen combine separately with a fixed mass of Cu. then the ratios of Cu are then determined.

b) To calculate the relative masses, we take note of the three compounds given, they all have some amount of Y in them, hence we can use Y as our relative mass, this implies that the relative mass of Y = 1g

mass of X = 0.4g

mass of Y = 4.2g

amount of X in 1g of Y = 0.4 x 1 /4.2

= 0.095g

for compound 2;

mass of Y = 1.4g

mass of Z = 1.0g

amount of Z in 1g of Y =1.0 x 1 /1.4

= 0.71g

for compound 3;

mass of X = 2.0g

mass of Y = 7.0g

amount of X in 1g of Y = 1 x 2/7

= 0.285g

c) Applying the law of multiple proportions; since elements X and Z combine with a fixed mass of Y, they must bear a simple ratio;

compound 1/compound 3 = 0.095/0.285

= 1/3

compound 1/compound 2 = 0.095/0.71

= 2/15

compound 2/ compound 3 = 0.71/0.285

= 5/2

formular for compound 1 = X2Y

formula for compound 2 = YZ15

formular for compound 3 = X6Y

d) from the formular X2Y, we can get the amount of each product in XY using the ratios

%of compound XY in X = mass of compound X / total Mass

= 0.2/4.4 = 4.5%

as such in a 21g of compound XY, %of compound Y = 1 - %of compound X = 95.5%

hence mass of compound X = 21 x 0.045 = 0.95g

mass of compound Y = 21 x 0.955 = 20.05g

Why is it not correct/precise to say "a molecule of salt?"

Fynjy0 [20]

It is not correct to say " a molecule of salt " because salt is a compound.

Explanation:

As we know a molecular bond is present in each molecule.
Salt (NaCl) is considered as a compound because it is made up of two types of elements that are sodium as well as chlorine.
On the other hand it is not considered as a molecule as it is not holding an ionic bond.
As a result we can name it as an ionic compound. Hence it is not considered as a molecule of salt.

A gas exerts a pressure of 0.62 atm. Convert this to kPa and mmHg. Be sure to show your work.

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 0.62 atm = 62.82 kPa = 471.2 mmHg

Explanation:

Data

P = 0.62 atm

P = ? kPa

P = ? mmHg

Process

1.- Look for the conversion factor of atm to kPa and mmHg

1 atm = 101.325 kPa

1 atm = 760 mmHg

2.- Do the conversions

1 atm ----------------- 101.325 kPa

0.62 atm ------------ x

x = (0,62 x 101.325) / 1

x = 62.82 kPa

1 atm ------------------ 760 mmHg

0.62 atm ------------ x

x = (0.62 x 760)/1

x = 471.2 mmHg
