Answer:

Ionic, metal, organic

Explanation:

In this case, we have to analyze each compound:

-) $CaCl_2$

In this compound, we have a non-metal atom (Cl) and a metal atom (Ca) . So, we will have a high electronegativity difference between these atoms, With this in mind, we will have an ionic bond. Ions can be produced:

$CaCl_2~->~Ca^+^2~+~2Cl^-$

The cation would be $Ca^+^2$ and the anion is $Cl^-$ . So, we will have an ionic compound.

-) $Cu$

In this case, we have a single atom. If we check the periodic table we will find this atom in the transition metals section (in the middle of the periodic table). So, this indicates that Cu (Copper) is a metal.

-) $C_2H_6$

In this molecule, we have single bonds between carbon and hydrogen. The electronegativity difference between C and H are not high enough to produce ions. So, with this in mind, we will have covalent bonds. This is the main characteristic of organic compounds.  (See figure 1)

Consider the dissolution of 1.50 grams of salt XY in 75.0 mL of water within a calorimeter. The temperature of the water decreas

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The quantity of heat lost by the surroundings is 258,5J

Explanation:

The dissolution of salt XY is endothermic because the water temperature decreased.

The total heat consumed by the dissolution process is:

4,184 J/g°C × (75,0 + 1,50 g) × 0,93°C = 297,7 J

This heat is consumed by the calorimeter and by the surroundings.

The heat consumed by the calorimeter is:

42,2 J/°C × (0,93°C) = 39,2 J

That means that the quantity of heat lost by the surroundings is:

297,7J - 39,2J = 258,5 J

I hope it helps!

You work for a cutlery manufacturer who wants to electrolytically precipitate 0.500 g of silver onto each piece of a batch of 25

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

373.1 mL of AgCN (aq) must be poured into your electrolysis vat to ensure you have sufficient Ag to plate all of the forks.

Explanation:

Mass of silver to be precipitated on ecah spoon = 0.500 g

Number of silver spoons = 250

Total mass of silver = 250 × 0.500 g = 125 g

$Moles (n)=Molarity(M)\times Volume (L)$

Moles of AgCN = n = $\frac{125 g}{134 g/mol}=0.9328 mol$

Volume of AgCN solution =V

Molarity of the AgCN = 2.50 M

$V=\frac{0.9328 mol}{2.50 M}=0.3731 L=373.1 mL$

(1 L = 1000 mL)

373.1 mL of AgCN (aq) must be poured into your electrolysis vat to ensure you have sufficient Ag to plate all of the forks.

Tell whether the following pairs of compounds are identical, constitutional isomers, stereoisomers, or unrelated. (a) cis-1,3-Di

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

(a) Constitutional Isomers

(b) Constitutional Isomers

Explanation:

Constitutional isomers are also known with the name Structural Isomers. These are the compounds which have same chemical formula but differ in arrangement of atoms i.e. structure.

Both the compounds cis-1,3-dibromocyclohexane and trans-1,4-dibromocyclohexane have the same chemical formula $C_{6} H_{10} Br_{2}$ but have different structure as shown in the image below.

In the second case the compounds 2,3-dimethylhexane and 2,3,3-trimethylpentane, both have same chemical formula $C_{8} H_{18}$ but have different structures which is shown in the image below.
