Answer: The correct options are A and E

Explanation:

A chemical reaction is defined as the reaction in which two or more chemical substances react to form two or more different chemical substances.

A new substance (product) is formed in a chemical reaction when the bonds between the reactants are broken so that the new bonds between the products can be formed.

For a given chemical reaction:

$HF+NaOH\rightarrow NaF+H_2O$

Here,

HF is a covalent compound as sharing of electrons take place between hydrogen and fluorine atom

NaOH is an ionic compound as a complete transfer of electrons occurs from sodium to hydroxide.

Thus, to form the products, an ionic bond between sodium and hydroxide must be broken coupled with a covalent bond between hydrogen and fluorine.

Hence, the correct options are A and E

A buffer solution contains 0.240 M ammonium chloride and 0.499 M ammonia. If 0.0565 moles of perchloric acid are added to 250 mL

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

The pH of the resulting solution is 9.02.

Explanation:

The initial pH of the buffer solution can be found using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

$pOH = pKb + log(\frac{[NH_{4}Cl]}{[NH_{3}]})$

$pOH = -log(1.78\cdot 10^{-5}) + log(\frac{0.240}{0.499}) = 4.43$

$pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 4.43 = 9.57$

Now, the perchloric acid added will react with ammonia:

$n_{NH_{3}} = 0.499moles/L*0.250 L - 0.0565 moles = 0.0683 moles$

Also, the moles of ammonium chloride will increase in the same quantity according to the following reaction:

NH₃ + H₃O⁺ ⇄ NH₄⁺ + H₂O

$n_{NH_{4}Cl} = 0.240 moles/L*0.250L + 0.0565 moles = 0.1165 moles$

Finally, we can calculate the pH of the resulting solution:

$pOH = pKb + log(\frac{[NH_{4}Cl]}{[NH_{3}]})$

$pOH = -log(1.78\cdot 10^{-5}) + log(\frac{0.1165 moles/0.250 L}{0.0683 moles/0.250 L}) = 4.98$

$pH = 14 - 4.98 = 9.02$

Therefore, the pH of the resulting solution is 9.02.

I hope it helps you!

A student is studying asbestos, a mineral that causes cancer in humans. One of the components of asbestos is silicon, a somewhat

kondaur [170]

Answer:

The characteristic of silicon that is most closely related to its chemical reactivity is that;

It is found in nature in mainly as oxides and silicates

Explanation:

Silicon, which is a member of group 14 of the periodic table has the electron configuration of [Ne]3s²3p² and has a high affinity for oxygen such that the the oxides are known as silicates and it is almost impossible to find pure silicon in nature and it is found in the universe as silica and silicates

Silicate minerals make up over 90% of the Earth's crust such that, by mass silicon is only surpassed by oxygen as the most abundant element found in the Earth's crust.

Which of the following values best classifies a bond between 2 atoms as being ionic?

never [62]

The general rule followed is that if electronegativity difference is greater than 2, then it is considered an ionic bond. An ionic bond is a type of bond characterizing a transfer of electrons within a bond. Common examples are salts which adds that ionic bonds are common between a metal and a nonmetal. Therefore, the best answer from above is letter B.
