The statement that does not describe elements would be that they can be separated by a chemical reaction. This is not the case, an element is a pure substance that can't be degraded into any other constituent that would form it. They are building blocks composed by atoms.

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Elements are defined as the substance which contain same type of atoms.

An element cannot be divided into simpler substances by any physical or chemical means.

For example, a piece of aluminium will contain only atoms of aluminium.

The periodic table contains all the elements present in nature.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options the statement they can be separated by a chemical reaction, does not describe elements.

In the compound k[co(c2o4)2(h2o)2] (where c2o42– = oxalate) the oxidation number and coordination number of cobalt are, respecti
ehidna [41]
Let's Assign Symbols to molecules like,

                    C₂O₄  =  X
and 
                    H₂O   =  Y
Then,
                                K [ Co (X)₂ (Y)₂ ]

As, Potassium (K) has a O.N  =  +1

To neutralize, the coordination sphere must have -1 oxidation number.
So,
                                    [ Co (X)₂ (Y)₂ ]  =  -1
As,
           O.N of X  = -2
Then 
       O.N of (X)₂  =  -4

Also,
O.N of H₂O is zero as it is neutral, So,

                                    [Co - 4 + 0 ]  =  -1
Or,
                                    Co  =  -1 + 4

                                    Co  =  +3

Result:
          Oxidation Number of Coordination Sphere is -1 and Oxidation Number of Cu is +3.

Write the empirical formula of at least four binary ionic compounds that could be formed from the following ions: Ca2+, V5+, Br-
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

CaS, CaBr₂, VBr₅, and V₂S₅.

Explanation:

  • The ionic compound should be neutral; the overall charge of it is equal to zero.
  • Binary ionic compound is composed of two different ions.

<u>Ca²⁺ can combined with either Br⁻ or S²⁻ to form binary ionic compounds.</u>

  • CaS can be formed via combining Ca²⁺ with S²⁻ to form the neutral binary ionic compound CaS.
  • CaBr₂ can be formed via combining 1 mole of Ca²⁺ with 2 moles of Br⁻ to form the neutral binary ionic compound CaBr₂.

<u>V⁵⁺ can combined with either Br⁻ or S²⁻ to form binary ionic compounds.</u>

  • V₂S₅ can be formed via combining 2 moles of V⁵⁺ with 5 moles of S²⁻ to form the neutral binary ionic compound V₂S₅.
  • VBr₅ can be formed via combining 1 mole of V⁵⁺ with 5 moles of Br⁻ to form the neutral binary ionic compound VBr₅.

<em>So, the empirical formula of four binary ionic compounds that could be formed is: CaS, CaBr₂, VBr₅, and V₂S₅.</em>

Two different compounds are obtained by combining nitrogen with oxygen. The first compound results from combining 46.7 gg of NN
mina [271]

Answer:

4.02

Explanation:

The mass ratios will be given by dividing the mass of O₂ into the mass of N₂.

So lets do our calculations:

First Compound:

53.3 g O₂ / 46.7 g N₂ =  1.14

Second Compound:

82.0 g O₂ / 17.9 g N₂ = 4.58

Ratio = 4.58 / 1.14 =  4.02

This result for all practical purposes is a whole number, and it is telling us that there are 4 times as many oxygen atoms in the second coumpound as in the first compound. This is so because the ratio we just calculated is also the ratio in mol atoms:

Ratio = [ mass O₂ / MW O2/ mass N₂/ MW N₂] 2nd compound  /   [mass O₂ / MW O2/ mass N₂/ MW N₂  !st compound]

and the molecular weights cancel each other.

The only N and O compounds that follow this ratio are N₂O₄ and N₂O, and this question could be made in a multiple choice to match  formulas.
