Ionic bond is a chemical bond formed by the complete transfer of electrons between two atoms. The atom that loses electrons gains a positive charge (cation) and that which accepts electrons gains a negative charge (anion). Now, electronegativity is a parameter that measures the tendency of an atom to accept electrons. In the context of ionic bonding, two elements which show a significant difference in their electronegativity values form ionic bonds.
In the given examples, the difference in electronegativity is greatest between K and Br i.e. 0.8 and 2.8 respectively with a difference of 2.0. This also makes sense since K and Br are on the extreme ends of the periodic table. Hence, potassium with a valence electron configuration of 4s1 will lose its s electron to Br (4s24p6) and form an ionic molecule K⁺Br⁻
Ans E) potassium and bromine
Answer:
0.677 moles
Explanation:
Take the atomic mass of K = 39.1, O =16.0, P = 31.0
no. of moles = mass / molar mass
no. of moles of K3PO4 used = 4.79 / (39.1x3 + 31 + 16x4)
= 0.02256 mol
From the equation, the mole ratio of KOH : K3PO4 = 3 :1,
meaning every 3 moles of KOH used, produces 1 mole of K3PO4.
So, using this ratio, let the no. of moles of KOH required to be y.
y = 0.02256 x3
y = 0.0677 mol
If you don't find exactly 0.677 moles as one of the options, go for the closest one. A very slight error may occur because of taking different significant figures of atomic masses when calculating.
When an electron absorbs energy, it will move up from a lower energy level to a higher energy level, called the "excited state" of the negatively-charged subatomic particle.<span> However, the absorbed energy is released within a small interval of time and the electron moves down to its "ground state."</span>
Answer:
The answer is B.
Explanation:
The law of conservation of mass states that mass in an isolated system is neither created nor destroyed by chemical reactions or physical transformations.
According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the products in a chemical reaction must equal the mass of the reactants.
The law of conservation of mass is useful for a number of calculations and can be used to solve for unknown masses, such the amount of gas consumed or produced during a reaction.
Answer: The mole ratio of hydrogen to nitrogen is 3 mole: 1 mole, 3:1
Explanation:
•Mole ratios are determined using the coefficients of the substances in the balanced chemical equation. •Each coefficient represents the number of mole of each substance in the chemical reaction.
•The mole ratio can be determined by first writing out a balanced chemical equation for the reaction.
For this reaction the balanced chemical equation is
N2(g) + 3H2(g) ----> 2NH3(g)
1mol:3mol : 2mol
From the equation we can see that 1 mole of N2(g) reacts with 3 moles of H2(g) or 3 moles of H2(g) react with 1 mole of N2(g) to produce 2 moles of NH3(g).
Therefore, the mole ratio of hydrogen to nitrogen is 3 mole: 1 mole, 3:1
