Answer:
B. The number of atoms in a molecular formula is always greater than the number of atoms in an empirical formula.
Explanation:
It is not always true that the number of atoms in a molecular formula is always greater than the number of atoms in an empirical formula.
The chemical formulae of a compound are of two main types;
- The empirical formula is that which expresses the composition of a compound in the simplest whole number ratio.
- The molecular formula shows the actual ratio of the atoms in a compound.
Sometimes the number of atoms in the molecular and empirical formula can be the same.
Also, the number of atoms in the molecular formula is always greater than that of the empirical formula when they are not the same.
The rate of disappearance of chlorine gas : 0.2 mol/dm³
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
The reaction rate (v) shows the change in the concentration of the substance (changes in addition to concentrations for reaction products or changes in concentration reduction for reactants) per unit time.
For reaction :

The rate reaction :
![\tt -\dfrac{1}{a}\dfrac{d[-A]}{dt}= -\dfrac{1}{b}\dfrac{d[-B]}{dt}=\dfrac{1}{c}\dfrac{d[C]}{dt}=\dfrac{1}{d}\dfrac{d[D]}{dt}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctt%20-%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7Ba%7D%5Cdfrac%7Bd%5B-A%5D%7D%7Bdt%7D%3D%20-%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7Bb%7D%5Cdfrac%7Bd%5B-B%5D%7D%7Bdt%7D%3D%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7Bc%7D%5Cdfrac%7Bd%5BC%5D%7D%7Bdt%7D%3D%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7Bd%7D%5Cdfrac%7Bd%5BD%5D%7D%7Bdt%7D)
Reaction for formation CCl₄ :
<em>CH₄+4Cl₂⇒CCl₄+4HCl</em>
<em />
From equation, rate of reaction = rate of formation CCl₄ = 0.05 mol/dm³
Rate of formation of CCl₄ = reaction rate x coefficient of CCCl₄
0.05 mol/dm³ = reaction rate x 1⇒reaction rate = 0.05 mol/dm³
The rate of disappearance of chlorine gas (Cl₂) :
Rate of disappearance of Cl₂ = reaction rate x coefficient of Cl₂
Rate of disappearance of Cl₂ = 0.05 x 4 = 0.2 mol/dm³
