When a monovalent cation X binds to a divalent anion Y, a compound with the formula $X_2Y$ would be formed.

A monovalent cation is an atom that has lost an electron. Hence, such cation has a single positive charge. A monovalent cation X will, thus, be $X^+$

A divalent anion is an atom that has gained two electrons. Such anion has 2 negative charge. Thus, divalent Y would be $Y^2^-$

Since Y is a divalent anion, it requires 2 electrons in order to successfully bind with another charged atom, a cation to be specific. Thus, two of $X^+$ would be required to successfully bind $Y^2^-$

$Y^2^-$ + $X^+$ + $X^+$ ----> $X_2Y$

The molar heat capacity of an unknown substance is 92.1 J/mol-K. If the unknown has a molar mass of 118 g/mol, what is the speci

dlinn [17]

Answer : The specific heat (J/g-K) of this substance is, 0.780 J/g.K

Explanation :

Molar heat capacity : It is defined as the amount of heat absorbed by one mole of a substance to raise its temperature by one degree Celsius.

1 mole of substance releases heat = 92.1 J/K

As we are given, molar mass of unknown substance is, 118 g/mol that means, the mass of 1 mole of substance is, 118 g.

As, 118 g of substance releases heat = 92.1 J/K

So, 1 g of substance releases heat = $\frac{92.1}{118}=0.780J/g.K$

Thus, the specific heat (J/g-K) of this substance is, 0.780 J/g.K

Is the boiling point of oxygen higher than nitrogen's

PSYCHO15rus [73]

The boiling point of oxygen is higher than nitrogen's boiling The reason the boiling point of O2 is higher is not because of increased van der Waals interactions, but simple physics. The mass of a molecule of O2 is greater than that of a molecule of N2, so the molecule of O2 traveling at a speed sufficient to break out of the liquid phase has a greater kinetic energy than an analogous N2 molecule. The net effect is that more energy must be distributed throughout a sample of O2 to achieve a given vapor pressure (in this case equal to atmospheric pressure) than for a sample of N2. More energy means greater temperature.
