Covalent compounds are generally not very hard because they are formed by two or more nonmetallic atoms.

<h3>COVALENT COMPOUNDS:</h3>

Covalent compounds are compounds whose constituent elements are joined together by covalent bonds.

Covalent bonding occurs when two or more nonmetallic atoms of an element share valence electrons. This means that covalent compounds will not be physically hard since they constitute non-metals.

Examples of covalent compounds are:

H2 - hydrogen
H2O - water
HCl - hydrogen chloride
CH4 - methane

. Find the mass of 0.159 mol silicon dioxide.

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

9.55 grams of SiO2

Explanation:

If the mass you mean by grams:

0.159 mole x 60.08 g (Periodic table by adding both elements)

Cancel moles with moles (Original moles with the 1 mol at the bottom of the grams) and gives you:

9.55 grams of SiO2

If 5 moles of P4 reacted with 22 moles Cl2 according to the above reaction, determine:

GaryK [48]

Solution:

$P_4+6Cl_2\rightarrow 4PCl_3$

a) By stoichoimetry If 6 moles of $Cl_2$ gives 4 mole of $PCl_3$ , then 22 moles of $Cl_2$ will give: $\frac{4}{6}\times 22=\frac{44}{3}=14.66$ moles of $PCl_3$

b) If 6 moles of $Cl_2$ reacts with one mole of $P_4$ , then 22 moles of $Cl_2$ will react : $\frac{1}{6}\times 22=\frac{11}{3}=3.66$ moles of $P_4$

Moles of $P_4$ left after the reaction = $5-3.66=\frac{4}{3}=1.34$ moles.

c) 0 Moles of $Cl_2$ , since it is present in less amount it will get completely consumed in the reaction. Hence, it is limiting reagent.
