Q:

Which compound contains both ionic and covalent bonds?

A) NaNO3 B) CaSO4
C) NH4Cl D) All of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) All of the above

Explanation:

Here all the given compounds have both ionic and covalent bonds.

 

NaNO3 - In Sodium nitrate, Nitrate is covalently bonded as nitrogen is bonded with 3 oxygen atoms. And this nitrate is ionically bonded with sodium.

 

CaSO4 - In Calcium sulphate, sulphate is covalently bonded as sulphur is bonded with 4 oxygen atoms. And this sulphate is ionically bonded with calcium.

 

NH4Cl - In Ammonium chloride, ammonium is covalently bonded as nitrogen is bonded with 4 hydrogen atoms. And this ammonium is ionically bonded with chlorine.

Q:

What is the gram formula mass of Li2SO4?

A) 101.2487 B) 109.9446
C) 111.2687 D) 106.5871
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 109.9446

Explanation:

The term gram formula mass is synonymous with molecular mass. So, to get this, we must add molar mass of all the elements in this compound.

 

Given compound is Lithium Sulphate - Li2SO4

Elemental calculation ::

Li  -  Lithium   -   6.941    -     2   -   13.88200 %
S  -  Sulfur     -    32.065   -    1   -   32.065 %
O  -  Oxygen   -   15.9994  -    4   -   63.9976 %

Now, total = 12.6264 + 29.1647 + 58.2090 = 109.9446 

 

Hence, the gram formula mass of Li2SO4 = 109.9446.

Q:

The degree of dissociation (α) of a weak electrolyte, AxBy is related to van't Hoff factor (i) by the expression:

1. α=x+y+1i-1

2.α=x+y-1i-1

3. α=i-1x+y+1

4. α=i-1x+y-1

A) 1 is correct B) 2 is correct
C) 3 is correct D) 4 is correct
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 4 is correct

Explanation:

Van't Hoff factor (i) = Observed Colligative PropertyNormal Colligative Property

 

AxBy1-αxA+yxα+yB-xyα  

 

Total Moles = 1-α+xα+yα = 1-αx+y-1

 

i=1+αx+y-11

 

α=i-1x+y-1

Q:

Water is an example of?

A) Element B) Molecule
C) Compound D) Both B & C
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Both B & C

Explanation:

Why Water Is Not an Element :

An element is a substance consisting of only one type of atom. Water consists of two types of atoms: hydrogen and oxygen.

 

water is both a molecule and a compound :

A compound forms whenever two or more atoms form chemical bonds with each other. The chemical formula for water is H2O, which means each molecule of water consists of one oxygen atom chemically bonded to two hydrogen atoms.

Thus, water is a compound.

 

It's also a molecule, which is any chemical species formed by two or more atoms chemically bonded to each other. The terms molecule and compound mean the same thing and can be used interchangeably.

 

Hence, water is both a molecule and a compound.
