In the compound potassium nitrate (KNO3), the atoms within the nitrate ion are held together with COVALENT bonding, and the potassium ion and nitrate ion are held together by IONIC bonding.
A covalent bond, also called a molecular bond, is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. These electron pairs are known as shared pairs or bonding pairs. Covalent bond is formed between two non-metals.
Ionic bonds form when one atom gives up one or more electrons to another atom. It is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between oppositely charged atoms. Ionic bond is formed between metal (electropositive element) and non-metal(electronegative element)
In nitrate ions the Nitrogen (N) and Oxygen (O) both are non-metals and it involves the sharing of electron pairs between N and O atoms, so the bonding in Nitrate (
) ion is covalent bonding.
In potassium nitrate , Potassium (K) is a metal and Nitrate () ion is non-metal and it involves the complete transfer of valence electron between oppositely charged atoms (K+) and (). So the bonding between Potassium and Nitrate is Ionic bonding.
NOTE : Bonding between Non-metals is Covalent bonding.
Bonding between Metal and Non-metals is Ionic bonding.
Answer:
First, we can test Solution 1. We know that Sodium Hydroxide is a strong base. If we test acids on blue litmus paper, they will turn red. If we test bases on red litmus paper, they will turn blue. So, you can test all the of the solutions- water, sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid with blue and red litmus paper. HCl, Hydrochloric acid is an acid, so it will turn blue litmus paper red. It will not turn red litmus blue. The acids will turn blue litmus paper red. The bases will turn red litmus paper blue. Only water is a neutral liquid, which will not turn blue litmus paper red or red litmus paper blue. It will not change the colour of it. Thus, if you test all the solutions with blue and red litmus paper, you will know which solution is water. Water is the only one which is neutral. It is the only solution which cannot change the colour of any litmus paper. Thus, you can identify it very easily.
Waters boiling point is 100°C and 212°F
gas = methane
burn with O₂ (oxygen)
CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l)
Explanation:
The given data is:
The half-life of gentamicin is 1.5 hrs.
The reaction follows first-order kinetics.
The initial concentration of the reactants is 8.4 x 10-5 M.
The concentration of reactant after 8 hrs can be calculated as shown below:
The formula of the half-life of the first-order reaction is:
Where k = rate constant
t1/2=half-life
So, the rate constant k value is:
The expression for the rate constant is :
Substitute the given values and the k value in this formula to get the concentration of the reactant after time 8 hrs is shown below:
Answer: The concentration of reactant remains after 8 hours is 2.09x10^-6M.
