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.

aleksklad [387]

All solutions are mixtures of two or more substances, but unless the mixture has a homogeneous distribution of solutes in the solvent, then the mixture is not a solution. Therefore, all mixtures are not solutions.

How many moles of CH4 are in 148.6 g? Round your answer to two decimal places.
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

9.29 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles = ?

Mass = 148.6 g

Solution:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Molar mass of CH₄ = 16 g/mol

Now we will put the values in formula.

Number of moles = 148.6 g/ 16 g/mol

Number of moles = 9.29 mol

Thus 148.6 g have 9.29 moles.

Acetic acid, CH3COOH, can be produced by bubbling oxygen gas into acetaldehyde, CH3CHO, in the presence of
slamgirl [31]

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given as;

2CH3CHO + O2 → 2CH3COOH  

If 20.0 g CH3CHO and 10.0 g O2 were put into a reaction vessel, (a)

how many grams of acetic acid will be produced?

First thing's first, we have to find he limiting reactant. This is done by comparing the number of moles of the reactants.

From the equation of the reaction;

2 mol of CH3CHO reacts with 1 mol of O2

From the masses given;

Number of moles = Mass / Molar mass

CH3CHO;

Number of moles = 20 / 44.0526 = 0.454 mol

O2;

Number of moles = 10 / 32 = 0.3125 mol

The limiting reactant is CH3CHO because O2 would be in excess.

Back to the question;

2 mol of CH3CHO produces 2 mol of CH3COOH  

0.454 mol would produce x

Solving for x;

x = 0.454 * 2 / 2 = 0.454 mol

Converting to mass;

Mass = number of moles* Molar mass

Mass = 0.454 mol *  60.052 g/mol = 27.26 grams

(b) how many grams of the excess reactant remain after the reaction is

complete

The excess reactant is O2

Number of moles left = Initial Number of moles - Number of moles that reacted

Number of moles left =  0.3125 mol - (0.454 mol / 2)

Number of moles left = 0.0855 mol

Converting to mass;

Mass = 0.0855 mol * 32 g/mol = 2.736 grams

What is true about all plutons? They form near Earth’s surface. They form below Earth’s surface. They cut across other rock laye
pishuonlain [190]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is that they are formed below Earth's surface.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Plutons are defined as the intrusive igneous rocks named as plutonic rocks which are formed when the magma gets cools down slowly and solidifies below the Earth's surface.

It is different from volcanic rocks which are formed when lava gets cools down and solidifies on the Earth's surface.

Hence, the correct answer is that they are formed below Earth's surface.

Which of the following explains why the lab safety policy specifically addresses loose clothing, contact lenses, and large, loos
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

b. Loose clothing and jewelry is more likely to impede movement, or accidentally knock materials over, causing a spill or other accident.

Explanation:

Hello,

During the laboratories, a high dexterity is required, thus, such accessories,  when you move or change your duty, could touch other materials or act out of your control resulting in spillages and constricting your proper movements and skills, that is why considering the lab safety policy, we must take those artifacts away from the chemistry lab.

Best regards.
