Acetone is a covalent compound, whereas sodium chloride is an ionic compound.


Covalent compounds have strong bonds that do not break apart like ionic compounds do, and they do not conduct electric charge in solution.


Covalent compounds do not have strong attractions between molecules and so have very low melting points, unlike ionic compounds.

They differ due to their different types of bonding, because sodium chloride is an ionic compound and acetone contains covalent bonding.

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

Carbon=5, hydrogen=12, oxygen=16

Explanation:

Carbon=5, hydrogen=12, oxygen=16

In order to effectively count the number of atoms, we look at the equation closely and take note of the stoichiometric coefficients of each reactant as this influences the number of atoms of that element present.

For instance, oxygen is diatomic and has a stoichiometric coefficient of 8. This implies the there are sixteen atoms of oxygen altogether.

Note that the left hand side refers to the reactants side.

A planet travels in an elliptical path around a star, as shown in the figure. As the planet gets closer to the star, the gravita
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The force increases because it is part of a Newton’s third law pair of forces with the force that the star exerts on the planet.

Explanation:

Force between two objects can be expressed by an equation:

F = G • m1 • m2 / r^2,

where m1 and m2 are objects' masses, r is the distance between them, and G is a gravitational constant.

That means that greater the masses or lesser the distance, the force will be greater, and vice versa.

This force exists between any two objects, but is generally extremely weak, so it's best observed with big and large objects with great mass, such as planets and stars.

This force, whatever its magnitude may be, always works on both objects, following the third Newton's law.

So, whatever the force the stat exerts on the planet is, the planet will exert the same amount of force on the star.

Find the concentration of H+ ions at a pH = 11 and pH = 6. Then divide the concentration of H+ ions at a pH = 11 by the of H+ io
andrew11 [14]

Explanation:

When pH of the solution is 11.

pH=-\log[H^+]

11=-\log[H^+]

[H^+]=1\times 10^{-11} M..(1)

At pH = 11, the concentration of H^+ ions is 1\times 10^{-11} M.

When the pH of the solution is 6.

pH=-\log[H^+]'

6=-\log[H^+]'

[H^+]'=1\times 10^{-6} M..(2)

At pH = 6, the concentration of H^+ ions is 1\times 10^{-6} M.

On dividing (1) by (2).

\frac{[H^+]}{[H^+]'}=\frac{1\times 10^{-11} M}{1\times 10^{-6}}=1\times 10^{-5}

The ratio of hydrogen ions in solution of pH equal to 11 to the solution of pH equal to 6 is 1\times 10^{-5}.

Difference between the H^+ ions at both pH:

1\times 10^{-6} M-1\times 10^{-11} M=9.99\time 10^{-7} M

This means that Hydrogen ions in a solution at pH = 7 has 9.99\time 10^{-7} M ions fewer than in a solution at a pH = 6

The following chemical reaction takes place in aqueous solution: AgF (aq)+ NH4Cl (aq) →AgCl(s)+ NH4F(aq) Write the net ionic equ
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

  • <em>The net ionic equation is: </em><u>Ag⁺ (aq) + Cl ⁻ (aq) → AgCl (s)</u>

Explanation:

<u>1) Start by writing the total ionic equation:</u>

The total ionic equation shows each aqueous substance in its ionized form, while the solid or liquid substances are shown with their chemical formula.

These are the ionic species:

  • AgF (aq) → Ag⁺ (aq) + F⁻ (aq)

  • NH₄Cl (aq) → NH₄⁺ (aq) + Cl ⁻ (aq)

  • NH₄F(aq) → NH₄⁺ (aq) + F⁻ (aq)

Then, replace each chemical formula in the chemical equation by those ionic forms:

  • Ag⁺ (aq) + F⁻ (aq) +  NH₄⁺ (aq) + Cl ⁻ (aq) → AgCl (s) + NH₄⁺ (aq) + F⁻ (aq)

That is the total ionic equation.

<u>2) Spectator ions:</u>

The ions that appear in both the reactant side and the product side are considered spectator ions (they do not change), and so they are canceled.

In our total ionic equation they are F⁻ (aq) and  NH₄⁺ (aq).

After canceling them, you get the net ionic equation:

<u>3) Net ionic equation:</u>

  • Ag⁺ (aq) + Cl ⁻ (aq) → AgCl (s)     ← answer
