Why do atoms of nonmetals form anions? Support your answer with an example.

Nonmetals form negatively charged ions, or anions. They do this because they need to gain one to three electrons in order to achieve an octet of valence electrons, making them isoelectronic with the noble gas at the end of the period to which they belong.

Calcium nitrate tetrahydrate dissolves in cold water to the extent of 266 g per 100 cm3. What is the concentration of nitrate io
Soloha48 [4]

Answer : The correct option is, (b) 22.5 M

Explanation : Given,

Mass of calcium nitrate tetrahydrate = 266 g

Molar mass of calcium nitrate tetrahydrate  = 236.15 g/mole

Volume of solution = 100cm^3=100mL

Molarity : It is defined as the moles of solute present in one liter of solution.

Formula used :

Molarity=\frac{\text{Mass of calcium nitrate tetrahydrate }\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of calcium nitrate tetrahydrate }\times \text{volume of solution in ml}}

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

Molarity=\frac{266g\times 1000}{236.15g/mole\times 100ml}=11.26mole/L=11.26M

As calcium nitrate tetrahydrate dissociate to give 1 mole of calcium ion, 2 moles of nitrate ion and 4 moles of water.

The concentration of nitrate ion = 2\times 11.26M=22.5M

Thus, the concentration of nitrate ion is, 22.5 M

In a sample containing a mixture of only these gases at exactly one atmosphere pressure, the partial pressures of carbon dioxide
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The pressure of a gaseous mixture is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases:

ΣP_g_a_s = P_1+P_2+P_3+...+P_n

The prompt is trying to confuse you, but it actually tells us the pressure of the mixture to be 1 atm, but this can be converted to torr. Furthermore, we are informed only three gases are in the mixture: diatomic nitrogen, diatomic oxygen, and carbon dioxide:

P_g_a_s=1 \ atm = 760 \ torr= P_N_2+P_O_2+P_C_O_2\\760 \ torr = 582.008 \ torr + P_O_2 \ + 0.285 \ torr

Solve for Po2:

P_o_2=(760-582.008-0.285) \ torr = 177.707 \ torr

Thus, the partial pressure of diatomic oxygen is 177.707 torr.

What's a word equation
Yuri [45]
A word equation is a chemical reaction described using words.
A common example is the act of photosynthesis - the process plants use to make glucose (sugar) to use as 'food'.
Plants convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose.
A word equation to express this is:
Water + Carbon Dioxide → Glucose + Oxygen
The other type of equation is a symbol equation - this uses the symbols of the elements instead of the common names:
H₂O + CO₂ → C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂
There is also a balanced version:
6H₂O + 6CO₂ → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
<em>If you want information on the balanced symbol equations, feel free to PM me.</em>

Predict whether each of the following molecules is polar or non-polar:a) IF,b) CS2, c) SO3, d) PCl3, e) SF6, f) IF5.
BlackZzzverrR [31]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Polar: IF, PCl3, IF5  

Nonpolar: CS2, SO3, SF6

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>
  • Polar molecules form when two atoms do not share electrons equally in a covalent bond.
  • A molecule is classified as a polar molecule when the arrangement of the atoms is such that one end of the molecule has a positive electrical charge and the other end has a negative charge.
  • A non-polar molecule does not have electrical poles.The electrons are distributed more equally.
  • Therefore, a non-polar molecule does not have a profusion of charges at the opposite ends. The majority of hydrocarbon liquids are non-polar molecules.
