Answer:

Molecular formula = B₃N₃H ₆

Explanation:

Given data:

Percentage of B = 40.3%

Percentage of N = 52.2%

Percentage of H = 7.5%

Molar mass = 80g/mol

Molecular formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of B = 40.3/ 10.8= 3.73

Number of gram atoms of N = 52.2/ 14 = 3.73

Number of gram atoms of H = 7.5 / 1 = 7.5

Atomic ratio:

  B              :            N                  :      H

3.73/3.73    :         3.73/3.73        :      7.5/3.73

     1            :            1                    :         2

B : N : H = 1 : 1 : 2

Empirical formula is  BNH ₂

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

n = 80 g/mol/ 26.8 g/mol

n = 3

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 3 (BNH ₂)

Molecular formula = B₃N₃H ₆

The mass of lime that  can  be produced  from  4.510 Kg of limestone  is calculated  as  below

calculate the moles  of CaCO3  used

that is  moles =mass/molar mass
convert  Kg  to g  = 4.510 x1000 =4510g
=  4510 / 100 =45.10 moles
CaCO3 = CaO  +O2

by use of mole ratio between CaCO3  to CaO  (1:1) the  moles of CaO  is also= 45.10 moles
mass of CaO = moles x molar  mass

45.10  x56 = 2525.6  g  of  CaO

What is the bond dissociation energy for breaking all the bonds in a mole of o2 molecules?
djverab [1.8K]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

498 kj/mol

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Chemical reactions occur as a result of bond breaking and bond formation.
  • The bonds in reactants are broken and atoms are rearranged to form new bonds.
  • During bond breaking energy is absorbed to break the bonds of reactants while bond formation involves the release of energy during the formation of new bonds.

In our case;

In 1 mole of the Oxygen molecule, there is one O=O bond

Energy absorbed to break O=O is 498 kJ/mol

Therefore, the ΔH required to break all the bonds in one mole of Oxygen(O₂) molecules is 498kJ/mol.

Note that, bond breaking is endothermic since energy is absorbed  from the surroundings.
