Ionic compounds form when metals transfer valence electrons to nonmetals. Ionic compounds exist as crystals rather than molecules.

What is the ultimate end of a high mass star that has a core about 2.8x the mass of our sun?
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

It is formed after the star has ended its star cycle into a supernova. The star collapsed into a neutron star that is smaller than the progenitor star but has inherited angular momentum. IT, therefore, spins faster emitting electromagnetic radiation that seems to pulsate.

Two chemist are trying to determine if their water sample is a mixture or pure substance. In their investigation they first filt
Effectus [21]

The correct answer is option B. Dirty water is a mixture of solid particles and liquid. It is both a mixture and pure substance.

The dirty water sample has both gravel and liquid water in it. After filtration the gravel is removed so the water sample looks clearer than before filtration. Liquid water is a pure substance because it is a compound that is made up of elements hydrogen and oxygen. Now the gravel is only physically combined with the liquid water, thus giving the water sample properties of a mixture. And like any mixture, gravel is physically separated through filtration from the liquid water.

Thus the water sample of the chemists is both a mixture and pure substance.

What is the total ionic equation for the following reaction?
schepotkina [342]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An equation in which electrolytes are represented in the form of ions is known as an ionic equation.

Strong electrolytes easily dissociate into their corresponding ions. Hence, they form ionic equation.

H_{2}CrO_{4} is a strong acid and Ba(OH)_{2} is a strong bases, therefore, both of them will dissociate into ions.

Thus, total ionic equation will be as follows.

2H^{+} + CrO_{4}^{-} + Ba^{2+} + 2OH^{-} \rightarrow Ba^{2+} + CrO_{4}^{-} + 2H_{2}O
