How is it possible to predict the type of bond that is likely to be found in a substance? what types of atoms generally form ion

Alenkasestr [34]

Using electronegativity difference is a good guide to the ionic/ covalent nature. Large differences indicate greater ionic character, small differences more covalent character. The larger the difference in electronegativity the more ionic properties a bond is said to have. The smaller the difference in electronegativity the more covalent properties a bond is said to have.
Ionic bonding is formed through electrostatic attraction between a cation and anion. Foe example, Sodium fluoride has ionic bonding because it is composed by sodium and Fluorine (a non metal). On the other hand, covalent bonding is characterized by atoms sharing pairs of electrons. For example; methane has covalent bonding; carbon has 4 valence electrons and hydrogen has 1; when they bond they have a total of 8 electrons and satisfies the octet rule.

What type of mountain are the andes mountains

Julli [10]

The Andes range has many active volcanoes, which are distributed in four volcanic zones separated by areas of inactivity. The Andean volcanism is a result of subduction of the Nazca Plate and Antarctic Plate underneath the South American Plate.

Metals can be highly purified using electrolysis. Which equation best reflects the overall process of purifying copper?

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

A. Cu^+2(aq)cathode ---> Cu^+2(aq)anode

Explanation:

Electrolysis is the process in which current is passed through a solution thereby causing a chemical change at the anode and cathode. Copper is being purified using electrolysis by using impure copper at the anode and pure copper at the cathode. This pure and impure copper are placed in a copper(ii)sulfate electrolyte solution and dc current is made to pass through it. The resulting changes at the anode and cathode are given by the equation:

cathode: Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⇒ Cu

anode: Cu ⇒ Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻

If 100 mg of ferrocene is reacted with 75 mg of anhydrous aluminum chloride and 40 microliters of acetyl chloride and 100 mg of

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

81.3 %

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

For ferrocene:-

Mass of ferrocene = 100 mg = 0.1 g

Molar mass of ferrocene = 186.04 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$Moles= \frac{0.1\ g}{186.04\ g/mol}$

$Moles\ of\ ferrocene= 0.0005375\ mol$

For acetyl chloride:-

Volume = 40 microliters = 0.04 mL

Density = 1.1 g / mL

Density is defined as:-

$\rho=\frac{Mass}{Volume}$

or,

$Mass={\rho}\times Volume=1.1\times 0.04\ g=0.044 g$

Mass of acetyl chloride = 0.044 g

Molar mass of acetyl chloride = 78.49 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$Moles= \frac{0.044\ g}{78.49\ g/mol}$

$Moles\ of\ acetyl\ chloride= 0.0005606\ mol$

As per the reaction stoichiometry, one mole of ferrocene reacts with one mole of acetyl chloride to give one mole of monoacetylferrocene

Limiting reagent is the one which is present in small amount. Thus, ferrocene is limiting reagent.

The formation of the product is governed by the limiting reagent. So,

one mole of ferrocene on reaction forms one mole of monoacetylferrocene

0.0005375 mole of ferrocene on reaction forms 0.0005375 mole of monoacetylferrocene

Moles of product formed = 0.0005375 moles

Molar mass of monoacetylferrocene = 228.07 g/mole

Mass of monoacetylferrocene produced = Moles*molecular weight = 0.0005375*228.07 g = 0.123 grams = 123 mg

Given experimental yield = 100 mg

% yield = (Experimental yield / Theoretical yield) × 100 = (100/ 123) × 100 = 81.3 %

How many moles of carbon are in 7.87x10^7 carbon molecules?

zaharov [31]

There are 6.022*10^23 molecules in 1 mole of carbon
So how many will moles will be 7.87*20^7?
Let the required number of moles be ‘x’.
1 mole ———6.022*10^23
x moles———7.87*10^7
(Cross multiplication)
x=7.87*10^7/6.022*10^23
Therefore x=1.3*10^-16
