The bond is polar covalent because the difference in electronegativity is greater than 0.4, but  less than 1.7.

Electronegativity refers to the ability of an atom in a compound to attract the electrons of the bond towards itself. It is a periodic trend that increases across the period but decreases down the group.

The electronegativity difference between the two atoms as shown in the question is 1.55. This means that the bond is polar covalent because the difference in electronegativity is greater than 0.4, but  less than 1.7.

Which equation shows how to calculate how many grams (g) of KOH would be needed to fully react with 4 mol Mg(OH)2? The balanced
bazaltina [42]
Mole ratio:

MgCl₂ + 2 KOH = Mg(OH)₂ + 2 KCl

2 moles KOH ---------------- 1 mole Mg(OH)₂
moles KOH ------------------- 4 moles Mg(OH₂)

moles KOH = 4 x 2 / 1

= 8 moles of  KOH

molar mass KOH = 56 g/mol

mass of KOH = n x mm

mass of  KOH = 8 x 56

= 448 g of KOH 

hope this helps!

WHY is there a difference between how an electrolytes and non electrolytes affect collegiative properties?
natulia [17]
 <span>Colligative properties are dependent upon the number of molecules or ions present in solution. Therefore, 1 mole of Na2SO4 will produce 3 moles of ions and so it will have 3 times as much of an effect as 1 mole of sugar, which is not an electrolyte and can't dissociate to an appreciable extent.</span>

78.9 + 890.43 - 21 = 9.5 x 10^2
maria [59]

948 or 9.48 x 10^2

There are two sets of rules for significant figures

• One set for addition and subtraction

• Another set for multiplication and division

You used the set for multiplication and division.

This problem involves addition and subtraction, and the rule is

The number of places after the decimal point in the answer must be <em>no greater than the number of decimal places in every term</em> in the sum.

Thus, we have

78.9

+890.43

-21.

= 948.33

The "21" term has the fewest digits after the decimal point (none), so the answer must have no digits after the decimal point.

To the correct answer is 948 = 9.48 x 10^2. It has three significant figures.

Choose the answer that best completes the following statement: When an aluminum atom reacts so as to attain a noble gas electron
boyakko [2]

The options

Select one:

a. a 3- ion forms.

b. the noble gas configuration of argon is achieved.

c. the result is a configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6.

d. the atom gains five electrons.

Answer:

c. the result is a configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6.

Explanation:

Aluminium atom has atomic number of 13 , hence the number of electron is 13 for a neutral atom of aluminium. When aluminium atom reacts with other elements it usually gives out three electron to attain the octet configuration.

The cation representation of aluminium is Al3+ because it has loss three electron to attain the octet rule. Aluminium will be left with 10 electrons after losing 3 of it electrons. The electronic configuration will be represented as follows after losing three electrons;

1S² 2S² 2P∧6 .

At this stage the octet rule has been achieved as it will be represented as

2  8.  The first energy shell now contains two electron and the second energy shell contains 8 electrons.

The configuration of  Neon has been formed in the process.

In the gaseous state, chlorine exists as a diatomic molecule Cl2 (Molar mass = 70.9 g/mol). Calculate the number of moles of chl
Annette [7]

Answer:

3.67 mol Cl

Explanation:

We need to convert g of Cl 2 to moles of Cl. First we divide 130 gCl2  by the molar mass (70.90 gCl2/mol) to find out how many moles of Cl2 do we have.

130 gCl2 x \frac{1 mol Cl2 }{70.90 gCl2} = 1.83 mol Cl2

Then we need to convert 1.83 mol de Cl2 to moles of Cl. We have 2 moles of Cl in every Cl2 molecule so we just need to multiply by 2.

1.83 molCl2 x \frac{2 molCl}{1 molCl2} = 3.67 molCl
