Answer:

it is always necessary to use the roman numeral as the assigned charge of the metal.

Explanation:

This is so that one would know which Transition metal is being used. For example copper (II) would be Cu²+

Why do covalent bonds form between elements with similar electronegativity?

sesenic [268]

A COVALENT BOND, FORMS BETWEEN ELEMENTS WITH SIMILAR ELECTRONEGATIVITY AS SHARING OF ELECTRON PAIRS BETWEEN ATOMS IS EASIER AS THEY ARE IDENTICAL.

Explanation:

Bonding atoms with similar electronegativity values form covalent bonds.

A covalent bond, also called a molecular bond, is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.

Covalent bonds form between two nonmetal atoms with identical or relatively close electronegativity values

Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons, also it is the strength an atom has to attract a bonding pair of electrons to itself.

Pure covalent bonds result when two atoms of the same electronegativity bond. This occurs only when two atoms of the same element bond with each other.

Assuming 1 mol of Fe3+ and 2 mol of SCN- were allowed to react and reach equilibrium. 0.5 mol of product was formed. The total v

zaharov [31]

Answer:

a. 0.5 mol

b. 1.5 mol

c. 0.67

Explanation:

Fe3+ + SCN- -----> [FeSCN]2+

a. The ratio of the product to Fe3+ is 1:1. Meaning that if 0.5 mol of product was produced up then 0.5 mol of Fe3+ was used. Leaving 0.5 mol remaining at equilibrium

b. The ratio of the product to SCN= is 1:1. Meaning that if 0.5 mol of product was produced up then 0.5 mol of SCN- was used. Leaving 1.5 mol remaining at equilibrium

c. KC = 0.5/(0.5*1.5) = 0.67

Bromine reacts with nitric oxide to form nitrosyl bromide as shown in this reaction: br2(g) + 2 no(g) → 2 nobr(g) a possible mec

Svetach [21]

The overall reaction is given by:

$Br_{2}(g) + 2 NO(g) \rightarrow 2 NOBr(g)$

The fast step reaction is given as:

$NO(g) + Br_{2}(g) \rightleftharpoons NOBr_{2}(g) (fast; k_{eq}= \frac{k_{1}}{k_{-1}})$

The slow step reaction is given as:

$NOBr_{2}(g) + NO(g) \rightarrow 2 NOBr(g)$ (slow step $k_{2}$ )

Now, the expression for the rate of reaction of fast reaction is:

$r_{1}=k_{1}[NO][Br_{2}]-k_{-1}[NOBr_{2}]$

The expression for the rate of reaction of slow reaction is:

$r_{2}=k_{2}[NOBr_{2}] [NO]$

Slow step is the rate determining step. Thus, the overall rate of formation is the rate of formation of slow reaction as $[NOBr_{2}]$ takes place in this reaction.

The expression of rate of formation is:

$\frac{d(NOBr)}{dt}=r_{2}$

= $k_{2}[NOBr_{2}][NO]$ (1)

Now, consider that the fast step is always is in equilibrium. Therefore, $r_{1}=0$

$k_{1}[NO][Br_{2}]= k_{-1}[NOBr_{2}]$

$[NOBr_{2}] = \frac{k_{1}}{k_{-1}}[NO][Br_{2}]$

Substitute the value of $[NOBr_{2}]$ in equation (1), we get:

$\frac{d(NOBr)}{dt}=k_{2}[NOBr_{2}][NO]$

= $k_{2} \frac{k_{1}}{k_{-1}}[NO][Br_{2}][NO]$

= $\frac{k_{1}k_{2}}{k_{-1}}[NO]^{2}[Br_{2}]$

Thus, rate law of formation of $NOBr$ in terms of reactants is given by $\frac{k_{1}k_{2}}{k_{-1}}[NO]^{2}[Br_{2}]$ .

A substance that can be broken down into simpler subtend only by a chemical change is aa. homogenous mixtureb. heterogeneous mix

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

d. compound

Explanation:

Mixture : It is defined as the substance that is made by the combination of two or more different components which are physically combined.

Homogeneous mixture are the mixtures in which the composition of the substances in it are uniformly mixed. Heterogeneous mixture are the mixtures in which the composition of the substances in it are not uniformly mixed.

Compound : It is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass and are chemically bonded.

Element : It is a pure substance which is composed of atoms of similar elements.

As discussed above, The different elements in the compounds are chemically bonded and hence, it is the substance which can be broken down into the simpler units when it subtend only by the chemical change.
