Bond number

The characteristic of reactions that depends on valence electrons is the bond type.

In chemistry, a chemical bond could be;

Ionic

Covalent

The type of bond formed depends on the number of valence electrons present. When there are few valence electrons on an atom, it mostly forms ionic bonds.

When there are more electrons on an atoms, it mostly forms covalent bonds and the electrons between the atoms are shared.

Calculate the molality of a 20.0 percent by weight aqueous solution of nh4cl. (molecular weight: nh4cl = 53.5)

cestrela7 [59]

Unfortunately the data provided doesn't include the DENSITY of the ammonium chloride solution and molarity is defined as moles per volume. So without the density, the calculation of the molarity is impossible. But fortunately, there are tables available that do provide the required density and for a 20% solution by weight, the density of the solution is 1.057 g/ml.
So 1 liter of solution will mass 1057 grams and the mass of ammonium chloride will be 0.2 * 1057 g = 211.4 g. The number of moles will then be 211.4 g / 53.5 g/mol = 3.951401869 mol. Rounding to 3 significant digits gives a molarity of 3.95.
Now assuming that your teacher wants you to assume that the solution masses 1.00 g/ml, then the mass of ammonium chloride will only be 200g, and that is only (200/53.5) = 3.74 moles.
So in conclusion, the expected answer is 3.74 M, although the correct answer using missing information is 3.95 M.

1. Which list of nuclear emissions is arranged in order from the least penetrating power to

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

A) alpha particle, beta particle, gamma ray

Explanation:

Alpha beta and gamma radiations are the examples of ionizing radiations. When an atom is an excited state and having high energy, the atom is in unstable state. The excess of energy is released by the atom to get the stability. The released energy is in the form of radiations which may include alpha, beta, gamma, X-ray etc.

Properties of alpha radiation:

Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.

These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.

These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.

These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.

₉₂U²³⁸ → ₉₀Th²³⁴ + ₂He⁴ + energy

Beta radiations:

The mass of beta particle is smaller than the alpha particles.

They can travel in air in few meter distance.

These radiations can penetrate into the human skin.

The sheet of aluminum is used to block the beta radiation

⁴₆C → ¹⁴₇N + ⁰₋₁e

The beta radiations are emitted in this reaction. The one electron is ejected and neutron is converted into proton.

Gamma radiations:

Gamma radiations are high energy radiations having no mass.

These radiations are travel at the speed of light.

Gamma radiations can penetrate into the many materials.

These radiations are also used to treat the cancer.

Lead is used for the protection against gamma radiations because of its high molecular density.

The lead apron are used by the person when treated with gamma radiations.

Lead shields are also used in the wall, windows and doors of the room where gamma radiations are treated, in-order to protect the surroundings.

A dark purple liquid is diluted by adding water.

alexandr402 [8]

Answer: The process is diffusion.

Explanation:

a dark liquid will have the highest concentration of dark purple atoms/molecules so it gives a concentrated colour.

when water is added to it, the colourless water molecules fill up the gaps between the purple particles and so their colour fades and becomes lighter and lighter as we add more water. see the image attached where imagine the red particles are water and the blue particles are purple particles. thats why the colour fades.
