Answer:
(a) Covalent bond. NF₃ (nitrogen trifluoride)
(b) Ionic bond. LiCl (lithium chloride)
Explanation:
<em>(a) N and F</em>
Nitrogen and fluorine are nonmetals, with high and similar electronegativities, so they form covalent bonds, in which they share pairs of electrons to complete the octet in their valence shell. N has 5 valence electrons so it will form 3 covalent bonds while each Cl has 7 valence electrons so it will form 1 covalent bond. As a result, the empirical formula is NF₃ (nitrogen trifluoride).
<em>(b) Li and Cl</em>
Lithium is a metal and Chlorine is a nonmetal. They have different electronegativities so they form an ionic bond, in which Cl gains 1 electron (7 valence e⁻) and Li loses 1 electron (1 valence e⁻). The empirical formula is LiCl (lithium chloride).
By being an alternative route to the reaction with a lower activation energy.
Partial pressure of gas A is 1.31 atm and that of gas B is 0.44 atm.
The partial pressure of a gas in a mixture can be calculated as
Pi = Xi x P
Where Pi is the partial pressure; Xi is mole fraction and P is the total pressure of the mixture.
Therefore we have Pa = Xa x P and Pb = Xb x P
Let us find Xa and Xb
Χa = mol a/ total moles = 2.50/(2.50+0.85) = 2.50/3.35 = 0.746
Xb = mol b/total moles = 0.85/(2.50+0.85) = 0.85/3.35 = 0.254
Total pressure P is given as 1.75 atm
Pa = Xa x P = 0.746 x 1.75 = 1.31atm
Partial pressure of gas A is 1.31 atm
Pb = Xb x P = 0.254 x 1.75 = 0.44atm
Partial pressure of gas B is 0.44 atm.
