how are subscripts determine the formula of ionic and covalent compounds ?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

To determine the correct subscripts in a chemical formula, you have to solve how many atoms you need to balance the charge.

For example if I had the compound Calcium Fluoride I would look at the periodic table and see that Calcium's ionic formula is

Ca2+

. How do I know this? Well all elements want to have 8 valance electrons so they can be stable(happy). Seeing that Calcium has 2 valance electrons it is going to give away 2 electrons because that is easier than gaining 6 to be happy. Since Calcium has given away 2 electrons it has two more protons than electrons. We know that Protons have a Positive charge, Electrons have Negative charge, and the number of electrons is equal to the atomic number of an element in its pure non-ionic state. (Meaning it doesn't have a positive or negative charge; it is balanced.)

So if calcium gave away two electrons, it will have two more protons than an electron giving it a (2+) charge. The same process can be applied to Fluoride. Since fluoride is one to the left of the noble gases(group 18 or 8A) on the periodic table we know that it has 7 valance electrons because it is in group 7A or 17.

Knowing that we have 7 electrons the fluoride atom will gain an extra electron. Since the fluoride atom gained an extra electron it will have one more negative charge than a positive making it a ^(−)ion.

So you know that Calcium has a 2+ charge and that fluoride has a 1- charge, you then need these ions to balance out. So you need two fluorine atoms with a 1- ions to balance out the 2+ ion of calcium. Your final answer would be

CaF2

because you need two fluorine atoms to balance out the 2+ charge of the calcium.

Final Tip: Determine the charges then inverse the charges, remove the positive and negative superscipts, and write the charge numbers as a sub script. Ie. Calcium Fluoride

Ca2+ and F−

inversing and removing the charge signs would give you

Explain the difference between endothermic and exothermic processes. Provide an example of each.

Answers

Exothermic reactions

These are reactions that transfer energy to the surroundings (ie the energy exits from the reaction, hence the name exothermic). The energy is usually transferred as heat energy, causing the reaction mixture and its surroundings to become hotter. A thermometer is used to detect the temperature increase.

Examples:

Combustion

Neutralisation between acids and alkali

Endothermic reactions

These are reactions that take in energy from the surroundings (ie energy enters the reaction, which will help you to remember the name endothermic). The energy is usually transferred as heat energy, causing the reaction mixture and its surroundings to become colder. A thermometer is used to detect the temperature decrease.

Covert 175g of H2O into moles.

Answers

Answer:

9.72 moles.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of H₂O = 175 g

Number of mole H₂O =?

Next, we shall determine the molar mass of H₂O. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of H₂O = (2×1) + 16

= 2 + 16

= 18 g/mol

Finally, we shall determine the number of mole H₂O. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of H₂O = 175 g

Molar mass of H₂O = 18 g/mol

Number of mole of H₂O =?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

Number of mole of H₂O = 175/18

Number of mole of H₂O = 9.72 moles

Which one of the following ionic solids would have the largest lattice energy?

CaCl2

NaCl

Answers

Answer:

CaCl2

Explanation:

The ionic solid CaCl₂ would have the largest lattice energy. Therefore, option (c) is correct.

What is the lattice energy?

Lattice energy is the heat of formation when one mole of crystalline ionic solid is generated from its constituent ions in their gaseous state.

For example, the lattice energy of sodium chloride crystal is the energy change of reaction when Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions react to produce a NaCl crystal, which is equal to -786 kJ/mol.

The relation between lattice energy and lattice enthalpy at constant pressure is given by:

ΔU (lattice) = ΔH (lattice) - PΔV

Lattice energy is directly proportional to the charge on ions and inversely proportional to the interionic distance between ions.

For NaCl and NaF the charge on the ions is +1 and -1 while the size of the ions is small. So they have less lattice energy.

CsI ionic solid have a larger size of ions Cs⁺ and I⁻. So CsI will have less lattice energy. CsBr₂ has +2 charge on calcium but the size of both ios is larger. So, CsBr₂ will have less lattice energy.

CaCl₂ has + 2 charge on calcium as well as the ionic radius is also samll. Therefore, CaCl₂ would have the largest lattice energy.

Answers

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A chemist prepares a solution of silver (I) perchlorate (AgCIO4) by measuring out 134.g of silver (I) perchlorate into a 50.ml volumetric flask and filling the flask to the mark with water. calculate the concentration in mol/L of the silver (I) perchlorate solution. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Answer:

13 mol/L

Explanation:

We must first obtain the number of moles of silver I perchlorate involved

Molar mass of silver I perchlorate = 207.32 g/mol

Number of moles of silver I perchlorate = 134g/207.32 g/mol = 0.646 moles

Recall that;

n =CV

C= concentration

V= volume

n = number of moles

C = n/V

C = 0.646 moles * 1000/50

C = 13 mol/L

9.842 m/s2. The accepted value of acceleration due to
gravity is 9.81 m/s2. What is the percent error in calculation?

Answers

Answer:

0.33%

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Experimental value = 9.842 m/s²

Accepted value = 9.81 m/s²

Percentage error =?

The percentage error in the calculation can be obtained as follow:

Percentage error = |Experimental – Accepted| / Accepted value × 100

Percentage error = |9.842 – 9.81| / 9.81 × 100

Percentage error = 0.032 / 9.81 × 100

Percentage error = 0.33%

Therefore, the error in the calculation is 0.33%

Please help ASAP

Answers

Problem 1

The text (from the screenshot you posted) mentions that

"The atoms of covalent materials are bound tightly to each other in stable molecules, but those molecules are generally not very strongly attracted to other molecules in the material"

Put another way, we can think of each atom as a person, and each molecule as a family or a collection of persons. This is because any molecule is a collection of atoms. In covalent molecules, the connection between any two families isn't that strong since each person is focused more on their respective family, instead of other people outside the family. This is one way to think of it, but you may have a more effective way to remember.

In short, the exterior bonds between different covalent molecules isn't that strong, which means it's easier to break those bonds.

======================================================

Problem 2

The text also says

"The atoms (ions) in ionic materials show strong attractions to other ions in their vicinity"

This is due to the positively and negatively charged ions that attract to one another, and this causes a stronger chain so to speak. The stronger the chain, the harder it is to break when you apply temperature to it. Keep in mind that the only difference between a solid and a liquid is that the solid is a rigid structure while a liquid is more loose and free flowing. The ionic materials having a stronger inner bond like this is why ionic materials have higher melting points. You need to apply more temperature than normal to get the solid to melt.

======================================================

Problem 3

Again we turn to the text and it says

"For example, the molecule carbon tetrachloride is a non-polar covalent molecule, CCl4. It's melting point is -23 degrees Celsius. By contrast, the ionic solid NaCl has a melting point of 800 degrees Celsius"

In short, the difference between the two is that carbon tetrachloride has covalent bonds and NaCl (sodium chloride, aka table salt) has ionic bonds. It's much easier to melt the carbon tetrachloride than it is to melt the table salt.

Side note: carbon tetrachloride was historically used in fire extinguishers, but have been phased out due to safety concerns. Exposure to this toxin can lead to central nervous system problems, kidney failure, or liver problems. Due to its very low melting point, carbon tetrachloride is a liquid at STP.

1. Covalent compounds are held together by weak intermolecular forces. It is because of such weaker forces, which fails to make the compound bind tightly. Since lower heat (energy) is capable of breaking these weak intermolecular forces, therefore the melting and boiling points of covalent compounds is low.

2. Ionic compounds are held together by electrostatic forces between the oppositely charged ions . As the ionic lattice contains such a large number of ions, a lot of energy is needed to overcome this ionic bonding so ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points.

3. In terms of chemical bonding, carbon tetrachloride is a covalent chemical compound whereas sodium chloride is an ionic chemical compound. NaCl is solid in nature while CCl₄ is liquid.

lobal wind patterns have less to do with air temperature than local winds. A True B False

Answers

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Depends mostly on heating of the earths surface being uneven

It is false that global wind patterns have less to do with air temperature than local winds.

What is global wind?

Local winds are those that blow over a small area. Local geography, such as proximity to an ocean, has an impact on them.

Monsoons and land and sea breezes are among them. Global winds occur in belts all over the world.

Temperature differences, particularly the difference in heating at the equator and poles, and the Earth's rotation determine the global atmospheric circulation pattern.

By transporting heat and water, winds shape regional climate and influence daily weather.

Global winds are winds that occur in belts that circle the globe. Global winds, like local winds, are caused by uneven heating of the atmosphere.

Because of the Coriolis effect, winds blow diagonally across the surface.

Thus, the given statement is false.

summarize what happens to a balls energy when it bounces?

Answers

Answer:

When a ball bounces, it initially gains speed or kinetic energy—the energy of motion. When it reaches Earth, it collides head-on with an incredibly massive object that is, from your perspective, at rest. The ball slows down, deforms temporarily and shoots back up.

Explanation:

I hope this helps.

Answer:

When you hold the ball in the air, the ball has gravitational potential energy. Realizing it will turn the potential energy into kinetic energy. When the ball touches the ground, the kinetic energy will turn into elastic potential energy. When it bounces back up, it will turn into kinetic energy. When the ball is in that position where the ball was being held, it will have gravitational potential energy and repeat the cycle.

Explanation:

Terms to know:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy of an object that possesses because of its position in a gravitational field.

Elastic potential energy is energy stored as a result of applying a force to deform an elastic object.

Kinetic energy is the energy that objects posess due to motion.
