Which of the following compounds has polar covalent bonds: NaBr, Br2, HBr, and CBr4?

Chemistry
1 answer:
svetlana [45]2 years ago

Answer: Option (e) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A bond that is formed when an electron is transferred from one atom to another results in the formation of an ionic bond.

For example, NaBr will be an ionic compound as there is transfer of electron from Na to Br.

Whereas a bond that is formed by sharing of electrons is known as a covalent bond.

For example, CBr_{4} will be a covalent compound as there is sharing of electron between carbon and bromine atom.

Also, when electrons are shared between the combining atoms and there is large difference in electronegativity of these atoms then partial charges develop on these atoms. As a result, it forms a polar covalent bond.

For example, in a HBr compound there is sharing of electrons between H and Br. Also, due to difference in electronegativity there will be partial positive charge on H and partial negative charge on Br.  

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options HBr is the only compound that has polar covalent bonds.

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)

Use the following half-reactions to design a voltaic cell: Sn4+(aq) + 2 e− → Sn2+(aq) Eo = 0.15 V Ag+(aq) + e−→ Ag(s) Eo = 0.80
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

E° = 0.65 V

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reductions and their respective standard reduction potentials.

Sn⁴⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻ → Sn²⁺(aq) E°red = 0.15 V

Ag⁺(aq) + e⁻ → Ag(s) E°red = 0.80 V

The reaction with the highest reduction potential will occur as a reduction while the other will occur as an oxidation. The corresponding half-reactions are:

Reduction (cathode): Ag⁺(aq) + e⁻ → Ag(s) E°red = 0.80 V

Oxidation (anode): Sn²⁺(aq) → Sn⁴⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻ E°red = 0.15 V

The overall cell potential (E°) is the difference between the standard reduction potential of the cathode and the standard reduction potential of the anode.

E° = E°red, cat - E°red, an = 0.80 V - 0.15 V = 0.65 V

A beaker has 0.2 M of Na2SO4. What will be the concentration of sodium and sulfate ions?
netineya [11]

The concentration of sodium and sulphate ions are [Na^+] = 0.4 M, [SO_4^2-] = 0.2 M

Explanation:

The molar concentration is defined as the number of moles of a molecule or an ion in 1 liter of a solution.

In the given solution, the concentration of the salt sodium sulphate is 0.2M. So, 0.2 moles of sodium sulphate is present in 1 liter of solution.

Assuming 100% dissociation,

1 molecule of sodium sulphate gives 2 ions of sodium and 1 ion of sulphate.

So 0.2 moles of sodium sulphate will give 0.4 moles of sodium ions and 0.2 moles of sulphate ions.

What is the specific heat of a metal if the temperature of a 12.5 g sample increases from 19.5 C to 33.6 C when it absorbs 37.7
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

0.213 J/g°C

Explanation:

To calculate specific heat of the metal, the formula is used:

Q = m × c × ∆T

Where Q = amount of heat

m = mass

c = specific heat

∆T = change in temperature

According to this question, Q = 37.7 J, m= 12.5 g, initial temperature= 19.5 °C, final temperature = 33.6°C, c=?

Q = m × c × ∆T

37.7 = 12.5 × c × (33.6-19.5)

37.7 = 12.5c × 14.1

37.7 = 176.25c

c = 37.7/176.25

c = 0.2139

Hence, the specific heat of the metal is 0.213 J/g°C

How many moles of FeS2 are required to produce 32g of SO2?
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

<u>So, the right answer is</u>

No. of moles of FeS₂ = 0.25 mole

Explanation:

From the balanced

4 FeS2 + 11 O2 → 2 Fe2O3 + 8 SO2

it is clear that 4 mol  FeS₂ react with O₂ to give Fe₂O₃ and 8 mol of SO₂

First, we have to convert mass of SO₂ into No. of moles as following:

SO₂ has molar mass = 64 g/mol

No. of moles of SO₂ = (mass / molar mass) = (32 g / 64 g/mol) = 0.5 mol

we know that  

4 mol  FeS₂  gives→ 8 mol of SO₂

1 mol  FeS₂  gives→ 2 mol of SO₂

??? mol  FeS₂  gives→ 0.5 mol of SO₂

No. of moles of FeS₂ = (0.5 mol * 1 mol ) / 2 mol = 0.25 mol

<u>So, the right answer is</u>

No. of moles of FeS₂ = 0.25 mol
