Chemistry
1 answer:
Morgarella [4.7K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:  An ionic bond is a bond that forms between ions with opposite charges.

Explanation:

A chemical bond formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to another is called an ionic bond.

For example, sodium has electronic distribution as 2, 8, 1 and chlorine has electronic distribution as 2, 8, 7.

In order to attain stability, sodium needs to lose 1 electron and chlorine needs to gain one electron. Therefore, sodium will transfer its one valence electron (forming Na^{+} ion) to chlorine atom (forming Cl^{-} ion) which leads to the formation of NaCl compound.

Thus, we can conclude that an ionic bond is a bond that forms between ions with opposite charges.

The label of a fertilizer states that the fertilizer contains 18.1% p4o10 by mass. What is the mass percentage of phosphorus in
timurjin [86]

The fertilizer contains 7.90 % P by mass.

<em>Assume</em> you have 100 g of fertilizer.

<em>Mass of P₄O₁₀</em> = 100 g fertilizer × 18.1 g P₄O₁₀/100 g fertilizer = 18.1 g P₄O₁₀

<em>M_r of P₄O₁₀</em> = 4 × 30.97 + 10× 16.00 = 123.88 + 160.00 = 283.88

<em>Mass of P</em> = 18.1 g P₄O₁₀ × (123.88 g P/283.88 g P₄O₁₀) = 7.90 g P  

<em>Mass % P</em> = mass/total mass × 100 % = 7.90 g /100 g × 100 % = 7.90 %

A 1.00 liter solution contains 0.42 moles nitrous acid and 0.32 moles sodium nitrite .
xeze [42]

Answer:

E. The ratio of [HNO2] / [NO2-] will increase

D. The pH will decrease.

Explanation:

Nitrous acid ( HNO₂ ) is a weak acid and NaNO₂ is its salt . The mixture makes a buffer solution .

pH = pka + log [ salt] / [ Acid ]

= 3.4 + log .32 / .42

= 3.4 - .118

= 3.282 .

Now .16 moles of nitric acid is added which will react with salt to form acid

HNO₃ + NaNO₂ = HNO₂ + NaNO₃

concentration of nitrous acid will be increased and concentration of sodium nitrite ( salt will decrease )

concentration of nitrous acid = .42 + .16 = .58 M

concentration of salt = .32 - .16 = .16 M

ratio of [HNO₂ ] / NO₂⁻]

= .42 / .32 = 1.3125

ratio of [HNO₂ ] / NO₂⁻] after reaction

= .42 + .16 / .32 - .16

= 58 / 16

= 3.625 .

ratio will increase.

Option E is the answer .

pH after reaction

= 3.4 + log .16 / .58

= 2.84

pH will decrease.

When water unfreezes what happens to the volume of the sample
hram777 [196]

<u>Answer:</u>

  • It eventually decreases.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Frozen water is known to have more volume, but less density. When water slowly gets unfrozen, it'd volume decreases and its density increases. Hence, when the water gets unfrozen, it's volume decreases.
