ANTONII [103]3 years ago

7 0

Answer:

It would tend to lose two electrons and form a +2 ion. Potassium is in the first column and therefore has 1 electron in its outermost shell. It would tend to lose one electron and form a +1 ion.

A solution of LiCl in water has XLiCl = 0.0800. What is the molality? A solution of LiCl in water has XLiCl = 0.0800. What is th

Kay [80]

Answer:

mol LiCl = 4.83 m

Explanation:

GIven:

Solution of LiCl in water XLiCl = 0.0800

Mol of water in kg = 55.55 mole

Find:

Molality

Computation:

mole fraction = mol LiCl / (mol water + mol LiCl)

0.0800 = mol LiCl / (55.55 mol + mol LiCl)

0.0800 mol LiCl + 4.444 mol = mol LiCl

mol LiCl - 0.0800 mol LiCl = 4.444 mol

0.92 mol LiCl = 4.444 mol

mol LiCl = 4.83 m

Which phrase best describes the bond in H2?

Gala2k [10]

Answer and Explanation:

Two hydrogen atoms, each containing one electron, approach each other in the formation of a molecule of hydrogen. Each atom needs a total of two electrons to fill their outermost energy level and make them stable. The best choice is to share their single electrons. Hence, a pair of bonding electrons is shared between the hydrogen atoms in the molecules.

This constitutes a single covalent bond. Hence, the correct option is B)

NeX [460]

Answer:

Fe2S3 + 4HCl —> 2H2S + 2FeCl2 + S

Explanation:

From the question, we were told that:

Iron(III) sulfide reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen sulfide and iron(II) chloride.

Please note that elemental sulphur is produced along with this reaction. The equation for the reaction is given below:

Fe2S3 + HCl —> H2S + FeCl2 + S

Now, we can balance the equation as shown below:

There are 3 atoms of S on the left side of the equation and 2 atoms on the right. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of H2S as shown below:

Fe2S3 + HCl —> 2H2S + FeCl2 + S

Now, we have 4 atoms of H on the right side and 1atom on the left side. It can be balance by putting 4 in front of HCl as shown below:

Fe2S3 + 4HCl —> 2H2S + FeCl2 + S

Also, there are 4 atoms of Cl on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of FeCl2 as shown below:

Fe2S3 + 4HCl —> 2H2S + 2FeCl2 + S

Now, we can see that the equation is balanced
