The city council of a small town wanted to add fluoride to their water so that all the residents would have healthier teeth. The

mayor had read that ionic compounds must be used to get the fluoride into water. He looked up fluorine-containing compounds and came up with the following list. ​
NaF NF3 SiF4 CaF2 NH4F​
​
Using academic vocabulary in paragraph form, discuss the following: ​
​
Explain which compound(s) could produce fluoride ions in the water. In your response, be sure to include: ​
° which of the listed compounds are ionic and which are covalent. ​
° how ionic and covalent compounds are different. ​
° why only ionic compounds would produce fluoride in water.​

Answer:NaF is ionic. NF3 is covalent. SiF4 is ionic. CaF2 is Ionic and  NH4F is also ionic. Ionic compounds transfer electrons whereas covalent compounds share electrons hence the word "co". Also, ionic compounds are formed with metal and nonmetal. Where a covalent is with 2 nonmetals. Only ionic compounds would produce fluoride in water because ionic compounds can dissolve in water and covalent compounds cant.

Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide. Instead of melting, solid carbon dioxide sublimes according to the following equation: CO2(s)→C
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

m=8.79kg

Explanation:

First of all we need to calculate the heat that the water in the cooler is able to release:

Q=\rho * V*Cp*\Delta T

Where:

  • Cp is the mass heat capacity of water
  • V is the volume
  • \rho is the density

Q=1 g/cm^3 *15000 cm^3*4.184 \frac{J}{g*^{\circ}C}*(10-90)^{\circ}C

Q=-5020800 J=-5020.8 kJ

To calculate the mass of CO2 that sublimes:

-Q=\Delta H_{sub}*m

Knowing that the enthalpy of sublimation for the CO2 is: \Delta H_{sub}=571 kJ/kg

5020.8 kJ=571 kJ/kg*m

m=\frac{5020.8 kJ}{571 kJ/kg}=8.79kg
