Is the water of hydration covalently bound to the compound?

Chemistry
1 answer:
WINSTONCH [101]2 years ago
3 0

The water of hydration is not covalently bound to the compound.

Many compounds, especially ionic compounds contain molecules of water of hydration which appears as part of the chemical formula of the compound.

This water of hydration is only attached to the crystal of the compound loosely. There is no chemical interaction between the water molecules and the crystal of the compound.

To prove this, the water of hydration is easily driven off by heating. It wouldn't have been possible to drive it off by heating if was covalently bonded to the compound.

Therefore, the water of hydration is not covalently bound to the compound.

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

The half-life of Material 1 and Material 2 are equal.

step by step explanation;

Material 1 disintegrates to half its mass three times in 21.6 s, to go from 100g

to 12.5g. That is,

100g - 50g - 25g - 12.5g

Material 2 disintegrates to half its mass three times in 21.6 s, to go from 200g to 25g. That is,

200g - 50g - 25g - 12.5g.

This means that regardless of their initial masses involved, material 1 and material 2 have equal half-life.

Their half-life is 21.6 ÷ 3 = 7.2 sec

Calculate each of the following quantities.<br> (a) mass in kilograms of 3.7 x 1020 molecules of NO2
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:  0.028 kg of NO2

Explanation:

Data

3.7 x 10²⁰ molecules of NO2 in kg

MW of NO2 = 14 + (16 x 2) = 14 + 32 = 46 kg

                   1 mol of NO2 ---------------------  6.023 x 10 ²³ molecules

                   x                     --------------------- 3.7 x 10²⁰ molecules

                   x = 3.7 x 10²⁰ x 1 / 6.023 x 10 ²³

                   x = 0.00061 mol

         

                 1 mol of NO2 ---------------------  46 kg of NO2

                 0.00061 mol     ------------------    x

                 x = 0.00061 x 46/1

                x = 0.028 kg of NO2

How many glucose molecules can be produced per second in a plant
Masja [62]
Since glycolysis of one glucose molecule generates two acetyl CoA molecules, the reactions in the glycolytic pathway and citric acid cycle produce six CO2 molecules, 10 NADH molecules, and two FADH2 molecules per glucose molecule
