Chemistry
1 answer:
geniusboy [140]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Covalent Compounds in Water. When covalent compounds dissolve in water they break apart into molecules, but not individual atoms. Water is a polar solvent, but covalent compounds are usually nonpolar. This means covalent compounds typically don't dissolve in water, instead making a separate layer on the water's surface

What is the pH of a 0.0042 M hydrochloric acid solution?
babymother [125]

Answer:

E) 2.38

Explanation:

The pH of any solution , helps to determine the acidic strength of the solution ,

i.e. ,

  • Lower the value of pH , higher is its acidic strength

and ,

  • Higher the value of pH , lower is its acidic strength .

pH is given as the negative log of the concentration of H⁺ ions ,

hence ,

pH = - log H⁺

From the question ,

the concentration of the solution is 0.0042 M , and being it a strong acid , dissociates completely to its respective ions ,

Therefore , the concentration of H⁺ = 0.0042 M .

Hence , using the above equation , the value of pH can be calculated as follows -

pH = - log H⁺

pH = - log ( 0.0042 M )

pH =  2.38 .

Given the chemical formulas of the following compounds, name each compound and state the rules you used to determine each name.
Svetlanka [38]
When naming an ionic compound, write the name of the cation, which is the metal first. Then, write the name of the anion, which is the nonmetal. However, you remove the last 2-3 letters and replace suffixes. 

1. RbF --> Rubidium Fluoride
Change fluorine to fluoride
2. CuO --> Copper (II) Oxide
Change oxygen to oxide. Oxide has a charge of -2. Since no subscripts are written, it means they have the same opposite charge. So, we use Copper (II).

NH₄ is ammonia, but we change it to ammonium for polyatomic ions.

Question 11 (3 points)
Ugo [173]

Answer:

The outer core of the earth is liquid.  

Explanation:

Seismic waves travel through the Earth at different speeds and are reflected and refracted diffracted differently as they encounter layers of different densities.

By analyzing these waves, they have concluded that there is an inner core of solid iron surrounded by a liquid outer core consisting of nickel and iron.

A is wrong. The Earth consists of several layers

C is wrong. Seafloor spreading is caused by the movement of tectonic plates away from each other.

D is wrong. The mantle is mostly solid rock.
