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

3.95 g of sugar (C6H12O6) is dissolved in water to make 158 mL of solution. Find the molarity.

12345 [234]

Answer:

[C₆H₁₂O₆] = 0.139 M

Explanation:

Molarity si defined as a sort of concentration. It indicates the moles of solute that are contained in 1 L of solution.

We can also say, that molarity are the mmoles of solute contained in 1 mL of solution.

For this case, the solute is sugar (glucose). Let's determine M (mmol/mL)

(3.95 g . 1mol / 180g) . (1000 mmol / 1mol) / 158 mL

We determine moles, we convert them to mmoles, we divide by mL

M = 0.139 M

Moles = 3.95 g . 1mol / 180g → 0.0219 mol

We convert mL to L → 158 mL . 1L/1000mL = 0.158L

M = 0.0219 mol / 0.158L = 0.139 M

The equilibrium constant for the reaction is 1.1 x 106 M. HONO(aq) + CN-(aq) ⇋ HCN(aq) + ONO-(aq) This value indicates that

kakasveta [241]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is given here :

The equilibrium constant for the reaction is $1.1\times 10^6$ M.

$HONO(aq)+CN^- (aq)\rightleftharpoons HCN(aq)+ONO^-(aq)$

This value indicates that

A. $CN^-$ is a stronger base than $ONO^-$

B. HCN is a stronger acid than HONO

C. The conjugate base of HONO is $ONO^-$

D. The conjugate acid of CN- is HCN

Answer: A. $CN^-$ is a stronger base than $ONO^-$

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant is the ratio of product of the concentration of products to the product of concentration of reactants.

When $K_{p}>1$ ; the reaction is product favoured.

When $K_{p};$ ; the reaction is reactant favored.

$When K_{p}=1$ ; the reaction is in equilibrium.

As, $K_p>>1$ , the reaction will be product favoured and as it is a acid base reaction where $HONO$ acts as acid by donating $H^+$ ions and $CN^-$ acts as base by accepting $H^+$

Thus $HONO$ is a strong acid thus $ONO^-$ will be a weak conjugate base and $CN^-$ is a strong base which has weak $HCN$ conjugate acid.

Thus the high value of K indicates that $CN^-$ is a stronger base than $ONO^-$
