The compounds that have covalent bonding as their dominant bonding scheme are diamond and silica.

A covalent bond is formed between two nonmetals. Usually, when two nonmetals combine, electrons are shared between the two atoms involved in the bond.

Now, the solids diamond and silica are predominantly covalent solids. The atoms that combine in diamond are carbon atoms(nonmetals) while the atoms that combine in silica are silicon and oxygen (nonmetals also)

Hence, diamond and silica both have covalent bonding as their dominant bonding scheme.

Given what you observe at the molecular/atomic level, why would surface area have this effect?
LenKa [72]

Answer:

Increasing the surface area of a reactant increases the frequency of collisions and increases the reaction rate. Several smaller particles have more surface area than one large particle. The more surface area that is available for particles to collide, the faster the reaction will occur.

A 0.5438 g of a C.H.O. compound was combusted in air to make 1.039 g of CO2 and 0.6369 g H20. What is the empirical formula? Bal
goblinko [34]

Answer:

C₃H₅O₂

4C₃H₅O₂ + 13O₂ → 12CO₂ + 10H₂O

Explanation:

The reaction can be expressed as:

CₓHₓOₓ + nO₂ → CO₂ + H₂O

Under the assumption that there was a total combustion, all of the carbon in the reactant was combusted into CO₂, so <u>the mass of C contained in the C.H.O. compound is the same mass of C contained in 1.039 g of CO₂</u>:

1.039gCO_{2}*\frac{1molCO_{2}}{44gCO_{2}} *\frac{1molC}{1molCO_{2}} *\frac{12gC}{1molC} =0.2834gC

All of the hydrogens atoms in the compound ended up becoming H₂O, so <u>the mass of H contained in the C.H.O. compound is the same mass of H contained in 0.6369 g of H₂O</u>:

0.6369g*\frac{1molH_{2}O}{18gH_{2}O} *\frac{1molH}{1molH_{2}O} *\frac{1gH}{1molH} =0.0354gH

Because the compound is composed only by C, H and O, <u>the mass of O in the compound can be calculated by substraction</u>:

0.5438 g Compound - 0.2834 g C - 0.0354 g H = 0.2250 g O

In order to determine the empirical formula, we calculate the moles of each component:

  • mol C = 0.2834 g C ÷ 12 g/mol = 0.0236 mol C
  • mol H = 0.0354 g H ÷ 1 g/mol = 0.0354 mol H
  • mol O = 0.2250 g O ÷ 16 g/mol = 0.0141 mol O

Then we divide those values by the lowest one:

0.0236 mol C ÷ 0.0141 = 1.67

0.0354 mol H ÷ 0.0141 = 2.51

0.0141 mol O ÷ 0.0141 = 1

If we multiply those values by 2, we're left with the empirical formula C₃H₅O₂.

  • The reaction is:

4C₃H₅O₂ + 13O₂ → 12CO₂ + 10H₂O
