C should be the answer to the following formula
Answer:
The formula of the original halide is SrCl₂.
Explanation:
- The balanced equation of this reaction is:
SrX₂ + H₂SO₄ → SrSO₄ + 2 HX, where X is the halide.
- From the equation stichiometry, 1.0 mole of strontium halide will result in 1.0 mole of SrSO₄.
- The number of moles of SrSO₄ <em>(n = mass/molar mass) </em>= (0.755 g) / (183.68 g/mole) = 4.11 x 10⁻³ mole.
- The number of moles of SrX are 4.11 x 10⁻³ moles from the stichiometry of the balanced equation.
- n = mass / molar mass, n = 4.11 x 10⁻³ moles and mass = 0.652 g.
- The molar mass of SrX₂ = mass / n = (0.652) / (4.11 x 10⁻³ moles) = 158.62 g/mole.
- The molar mass of SrX₂ (158.62 g/mole) = Atomic mass of Sr (87.62 g/mole) + (2 x Atomic mass of halide X).
- The atomic mass of halide X = (158.62 g/mole) - (87.62 g/mole) / 2 = 71 / 2 g/mole = 35.5 g/mole.
- This is the atomic mass of Cl.
- <em>So, the formula of the original halide is SrCl₂</em>.
Mixtures are made up of 2 or more substances that are together in the same place but aren’t chemically bonded.
Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
A covalent bond is defined as the bond which occurs due to sharing of electrons between the combining atoms.
Generally, a covalent bond is formed between non-metals.
For example, both nitrogen and oxygen atoms are non-metals and they combine covalently to form 
compound.
As nitrogen has 5 valence electrons and an oxygen atom has 6 valence electrons. So, there occurs unequal sharing of electrons between the two.
Thus, we can conclude that when a covalent bond forms then electrons in valence shells are shared between atoms.
