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.

Choose the correct answer. The difference between the mass number of an isotope and its atomic number is (a) directly related to
kicyunya [14]

Answer : The correct answer is, (c) the number of neutrons

Explanation :

Isotope : It is defined as the element that have the same number of protons but have the different number of neutrons of each of the atom.

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons.

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons.

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number

For example : For Carbon - 13 isotope.

Mass number = 13

Atomic number = 6

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number

Number of neutrons = 13 - 6 = 7

Hence, the difference between the mass number of an isotope and its atomic number is the number of neutrons.

Define a salt bridge. Define a salt bridge. A pathway between the cathode and anode in which ions are oxidized. A pathway, compo
ycow [4]

Answer:

A pathway by which counter ions can flow between the half-cells without the solutions in the half-cell totally mixing.

Explanation:

Salt bridge is a link between oxidation half and reduction half of a galvanic cell.

Functions of salt bridge are:

Maintaining electrical neutrality

Preventing cell from reaching equilibrium

For creating salt bridge, a U shaped glass tube is filled with an inert electrolyte. Electrolytes used in the salt bridge generally do not reacts with the cell chemicals.

Cations and anions of the electrolytes have same ionic conductivity and hence, migrate with the same speed.

Most commonly potassium chloride, sodium chloride and potassium nitrate are used as an electrolyte in salt bridge.

Electrolyte are generally mixed with agar agar to prevent mixing of chemicals in the two half cells.

What are the elements that make up the compound, and what are some properties of these elements?
nekit [7.7K]

Answer: Below (=

Explanation:

The properties of a compound depend not only on which atoms the compound contains, but also on how the atoms are arranged. Atoms of carbon and hydrogen, for example, can combine to form many thousands of different compounds.
