Answer:

B. Ionic Compound

Explanation:

An ionic compound is that compound which contains a positively charged ion called CATION and a negatively charged ion called ANION. The cation loses or transfers electrons to the anion, hence, making the former (cation) positive and the latter (anion) negative.

A polyatomic ion is an ion that contains more than one type of atom e.g OH-, NO3²-, CO3²- etc. A polyatomic ion usually has an overall charge formed from the charges of the individual atoms that makes it up. For example, in OH-, the overall charge is -1.

Since a polyatomic ion can have an overall positive or negative charge, it must enter a reaction with another ion that complements it i.e. a negative polyatomic ion will react with a positive ion to neutralize its charge. Hence, this forms an IONIC COMPOUND. This is why most compounds with polyatomic ions are IONIC COMPOUNDS.

For example, CaCO3 is an ionic compound formed when Ca²+ (cation) reacts with the polyatomic anion: CO3²-

What is the reaction quotient, Q, for this system when [N2] = 2.00 M, [H2] = 2.00 M, and [NH3] = 1.00 M at 472°C?
cupoosta [38]

Answer : The value of reaction quotient, Q is 0.0625.

Solution : Given,

Concentration of N_2 = 2.00 M

Concentration of H_2 = 2.00 M

Concentration of NH_3 = 1.00 M

Reaction quotient : It is defined as a concentration of a chemical species involved in the chemical reaction.

The balanced equilibrium reaction is,

N_2+3H_2\rightleftharpoons 2NH_3

The expression of reaction quotient for this reaction is,

Q=\frac{[Product]^p}{[Reactant]^r}\\Q=\frac{[NH_3]^2}{[N_2]^1[H_2]^3}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get

Q=\frac{(1.00)^2}{(2.00)^1(2.00)^3}=0.0625

Therefore, the value of reaction quotient, Q is 0.0625.

Suppose these substance were placed in a freezer set to -50 grades celsius. Which substance would become a liquid. Clorine, Merc
Vadim26 [7]
Chlorine would become a liquid. Its boiling point is around -34 Celsius so at any temperature below that it would be liquid.

Activation energy is what kind of chemical reaction that absorbs energy
seraphim [82]

Activation energy is the energy required by reactants to undergo chemical reaction and given products

Every reactant has some internal energy (sum of all kind of energy like kinetic energy, potential energy, mechanical energy, chemical energy etc). It needs some extra energy to undergo chemical reaction which is activation energy

All kinds of reaction whether exothermic or endothermic needs activation energy

Threshold energy = internal energy + activation energy
