Covalent bonds can occur where atoms share one or more pairs of electrons. which of the following would form a double covalent bond? view available hint(s) covalent bonds can occur where atoms share one or more pairs of electrons. which of the following would form a double covalent bond?
a. nacl
b. cl2
c. co2
d. nh3

The answer to your question is: CO2

Explanation:

The information given is correct, Covalent bonds occur when atoms share one or more pairs of electrons, but also, covalent bonds occur with nonmetals, then,

a.NaCl     This elements form an ionic bond, so this option is incorrect.

b.Cl2      Here there are two non metals  but the form one single covalent bond, so this option is incorrect.

c.CO2  Carbon dioxide forms 2 double covalent bonds.

d.NH3 ammonium only forms single covalent bonds

answer : third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol

explanation :

let us write down the given equations

equation 1 :

equation 2 :

equation 3 :

let us use hess's law to find out which 2 equations can be added to get the third equation.

let us reverse equation 2 and multiply it by 2. the new equation that we get is,

equation 4 :

let us add equation 1 & 4

the above equation is similar to equation 3 but has different value for dhrxn.

therefore third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol
