Answer:

By satisfying the duet rule or the octet rule, ions are more stable.

Explanation:

Ionic bonds are formed through the exchange of valence electrons between atoms, typically a metal and a nonmetal. The loss or gain of valence electrons allows ions to obey the octet rule and become more stable.

The octet rule states that an atom is most stable when there are eight electrons in its valence shell. Atoms with less than eight electrons tend to satisfy the duet rule, having two electrons in their valence shell. By satisfying the duet rule or the octet rule, ions are more stable.

When boiling water is the particles expanding?

Juli2301 [7.4K]

When water is boiling the particles in the liquid are not expanding. This also applies for other liquids. Particles do not expand, it is only the volume they take up that expands. When water is boiling, the particles are rather escaping the liquid phase by undergoing a phase change which forms the particles into the gaseous phase.

Hydrogen gas, iodine vapor, hydrogen iodine are mixed in a flask and heated to 696°C. H2(g) + I2(g) ⇋ 2 HI(g) Kc = 52 at 696°C I

Anettt [7]

Answer: The equilibrium concentration of hydrogen gas is 0.0269 M

Explanation:

The chemical reaction follows the equation:

$H_2(g)+I_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2HI(g)$

At t = 0 0.044M 0.044M 0.177M

At $t=t_{eq}$ (0.044-x)M (0.044-x)M (0.177+x)M

The expression for $K_c$ for the given reaction follows:

$K_c=\frac{[HI]^2}{[H_2]\times [I_2]}$

We are given:

$K_c=52$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$52=\frac{(0.177+x)^2}{(0.044-x)^2}$

$x=0.0171M$

Hence, the equilibrium concentration of hydrogen gas is (0.044-x) M =(0.044-0.0171) M= 0.0269 M

When biological samples of unknown origins are discovered at a crime scene, what should investigators do?a. assume no pathogens

adoni [48]

Answer: assume pathogens are present and treat the samples accordingly

Explanation:

When investigators are unable to conclusively ascertain the source of a biological sample found at a crime scene, the correct thing to do is to treat it as if pathogens are present in it and handle it according to set rules on how to handle pathogens.

This is done to ensure that if a pathogen is indeed present, it would not cause a health emergency by infecting those who come in contact with the samples at the scene.

A chemist dissolves 867. mg of pure barium hydroxide in enough water to make up 170. mL of solution. Calculate the pH of the sol

Ilya [14]

Answer: The pH of the solution is 11.2

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

$Molarity=\frac{n\times 1000}{V_s}$
