The metallic bond between gold atoms makes it possible to create extremely thin sheets.

Atoms of the same element or atoms from different elements can form three types of bonds:

  • Covalent bonds.
  • Ionic bonds.
  • Metallic bonds.

In the case of metals such as gold, the most common type of bond is the metallic bond. This bond:

  • Is a strong bond.
  • Involves the free movement of electrons between atoms.
  • Makes metals highly malleable.

These characteristics explain the reason why it is possible to create extremely thin sheets as the material will not easily break due to the strong attraction between the atoms.

A 1.167 grams sample of hydrated Nickel (II) Chloride is heated until a constant mass is achieved. The constant mass of the samp
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

NiCl₂·4H₂O, its name being nickel (II) chloride tetrahydrate.

Explanation:

The constant mass achieved after heating is the mass of anhydrous nickel (II) chloride, NiCl₂. While the mass lost was water.

  • Mass lost = 1.167 g - 0.750 g = 0.417 g

Now we <u>convert 0.750 g of NiCl₂ into moles</u>, using <em>its molar mass</em>:

  • 0.750 g NiCl₂ ÷ 129.6 g/mol = 0.0058 mol NiCl₂

Then we <u>convert 0.417 g of H₂O into moles</u>:

  • 0.417 g H₂O ÷ 18 g/mol = 0.0231 mol H₂O

With the above information we can calculate that the number of H₂O moles is 4 times higher than the number of NiCl₂ moles.

Meaning that <em>the formula of the hydrate is NiCl₂·4H₂O</em>, its name being nickel (II) chloride tetrahydrate.

What is the coefficient for O2 in the balanced version of the following chemical equation: C2H4+O2→CO2+H2O
andriy [413]

Answer:

3

Explanation:

Here's the balanced equation;

C2H4 + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 2H2O

C ⇒2                          C ⇒1 x 2 = 2

H ⇒4                          H ⇒2 x 2 = 4

O ⇒3 x 2 = 6             O ⇒ (2 x 2) + (2 x 1) = 6

given a k value of 0.43 for the following aqueous equilibrium suppose sample z is placed into water such that its original conce
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

Less than 0.033 M:

[Z]_{eq}=2.4x10^{-3}M

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the described equilibrium is:

2A+B\rightarrow 2Z

Thus, the law of mass action is:

K=\frac{[Z]^2}{[A]^2[B]}=0.43

Nevertheless, given the initial concentration of Z that is 0.033 M, we should invert the equilibrium since the reaction will move leftwards:

\frac{1}{K}=\frac{[A]^2[B]}{[Z]^2}=\frac{1}{0.43}=2.33

Know, by introducing the change x due to the reaction extent, we can write:

2.33=\frac{(2x)^2*x}{(0.033-2x)^2}

Which has the following solution:

x_1=2.29M\\x_2=0.0181M\\x_3=0.0153M

But the correct solution is x_3=0.0152M since the other solutions make the equilibrium concentration of Z negative which is not possible. In such a way, its concentration at equilibrium is:

[Z]_{eq}=0.033M-2(0.0153M)

[Z]_{eq}=2.4x10^{-3}M

Which is clearly less than 0.033 M since the addition of a product shift the reaction leftwards in order to reestablish equilibrium (Le Chatelier's principle).

Regards.
