Answer:
The skills required to solve problems are known as analytical skills. You use analytical skills when detecting patterns, brainstorming, observing, interpreting data, integrating new information, theorizing, and making decisions based on the multiple factors and options available.
Explanation:
Answer:
a) 0.61 mol
Explanation:
165.3718 g Rubidium Bromide = 1 mol
100 g Rubidium Bromide = 1/165.3718 x 100
= 0.61 mol
Answer:
Zn3P2O8
Explanation:
In this particular question, it is necessary to convert the respective masses to percentages. We convert to percentages by placing each mass over the total mass and multiplying by 100%. Since the total is 50mg, conversion to percentage can be done by multiplying the masses by 2 as 100/50 is 2
For Oxygen = 16.58 * 2 = 33.16%
For phosphorus = 8.02 * 2 = 16.04%
For zinc = 25.40 * 2 = 50.80%
We then proceed to divide these percentages by their respective atomic masses. The atomic mass of oxygen, phosphorus and zinc are 16, 31 and 65 respectively.
O = 33.16/16 = 2.0725
P = 16.04/31 = 0.5174
Zn = 50.80/65 = 0.7815
Now, we divide by the smallest value which is that of the phosphorus
O = 2.0725/0.5174 = 4
P = 0.5174/0.5174 = 1
Zn= 0.7815/0.5174 = 1.5
Now, we need to multiply through by 2. This yields: O = 8, P = 2 and Zn = 3
The empirical formula is thus: Zn3P2O8
Answer:
Compound 1 is molecular
Compound 2 is ionic
Compound 3 can't really be decided
Explanation:
A molecular substance does not conduct electricity, has very low melting and boiling points and is held together by very weak intermolecular forces.
An ionic substance conducts electricity in solution or in molten state but never in the pure solid state, has a high melting and boiling point and has a dull appearance most times.
Compounds 1 shows the properties of molecular substances hence it are designated as such.
On the other hand, compound 2 shows the properties of an ionic substance and is also designated as such.
We can't really decide on compound 3 because it shows some properties of ionic substances and some properties of molecular substances.
Answer:
Covalent compounds.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, when forming chemical bonds in order to form compounds, we say that if electrons are shared, covalent compounds are to be formed and they usually have subscripts that need prefixes to be named, for instance phosphorous pentachloride (PCl5), dichlorine heptoxide (Cl2O7), carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) and many others.
Regards.
