Table salt, NaCl, is an example of an amorphous solid. TRUE FALSE

Chemistry
2 answers:
SVETLANKA909090 [29]2 years ago

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Before answering the question, it is important to understand;

An amorphous solid is any noncrystalline solid in which the atoms and molecules are not organized in a definite lattice pattern. Such solids include glass, plastic, and gel. Emphasis on the word noncrystalline.

Table salt on the other hand is an ionic solid made up of Ions of opposite charges (Sodium ion and Chlorine ion) strongly attract each other; those of like charges repel. As a result ions in an ionic compound are arranged in a particular manner.

The ions in NaCl are ordered hence are referred to as crystalline solids  and not amorphous.

Ierofanga [76]
FeSO₄*7H₂O(s) = FeSO₄(s) + 7H₂O(g)

M(FeSO₄*7H₂O)=278.0 g/mol
M(FeSO₄)=151.9 g/mol

m(FeSO₄*7H₂O)/M(FeSO₄*7H₂O)=m(FeSO₄)/M(FeSO₄)

m(FeSO₄)=M(FeSO₄)m(FeSO₄*7H₂O)/M(FeSO₄*7H₂O)

m(FeSO₄)=151.9*100.0/278.0=54.6 g

m(FeSO₄)=54.6 g

1.What is the name of the compound CuCO3?. a. Copper (I) Carbonate. b. Copper (II) Carbonate. c. Copper Carbon Oxide . d. Copper
Studentka2010 [4]

1. Answer;

Copper (ii) carbonate.

The name of the compound CuCO3 is copper (ii) carbonate.

Explanation;

Cu is the chemical symbol for the copper and CO3 is the chemical symbol for the carbonate group and each one of them has valency of two. Therefore, a compound CuCO3 is formed.

2. Answer;

Yes

Ca2+ reacted with Na2S to form CaS and Na+

Explanation:

Calcium ions reacts with sodium sulfide to form calcium sulfide and sodium ions.

For example; a salt of calcium, calcium carbonate reacts with sodium sulfide to form sodium carbonate and calcium sulfide.

3. Answer;

NaCl and Ag+ do not form a product

Explanation;

The reaction between sodium chloride and silver metal will not take place. This is because silver (Ag) is less reactive than sodium metal and therefore cannot displace sodium from its salt. In other words, silver metal is lower in the reactivity series as compared to sodium metal which indicates sodium metal is more reactive than silver.

4. Answer;

Formation of a white precipitate ; this indicates that silver sulfide is insoluble in water.

Explanation;

When an aqueous solution containing Ag+ ions is added to aqueous solution of sodium sulfide (Na2S), there will be formation of white precipitate. Formation of white precipitate indicates that a reaction has taken place to form a water insoluble compound. The water insoluble compound occurs as a precipitate. The white precipitate is silver sulfide (Ag2S)

2 Ag+ (aq) + Na2S(aq) ----- Ag2S (s) + 2 Na+ (aq)

Determine the total number of moles of ions in 40.0 ml of a 0.345 m solution of the strong electrolyte mgcl2
Sedbober [7]
A strong electrolyte like MgCl2 dissociates completely as per the following reaction:

MgCl_2 ----\ \textgreater \   Mg^{2+} + 2Cl^-

As you can see, from 1 molecule of MgCl2 produces 3 ions on dissociation.
So, 1 mole of MgCl2 produces 3 moles of ions.

Now, Moles of MgCl2 = Volume x Molarity

= 0.04 x 0.345   [Change volume to Litres]
= 0.0138 moles

Now, total moles of ions =  0.0138 x 3 = 0.0414

Hector claims that a single sodium ion and a single oxygen ion do not bond together to form a stable binary ionic compound. Is h
levacccp [35]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Looking at the periodic table, we can see that sodium is in group 1, so a sodium ion would be Na⁺, with a charge of +1. Oxygen is in group 16, so an oxygen ion would be O²⁻, with a charge of -2.

A compound formed only by a single sodium ion and a single oxygen ion would thus have a charge of -1, and in order to have a stable ionic compound its charge must be zero.
