Answer:

The answer to your question is: SiCl₄

Explanation:

Data

amount of Si      1.71 g

amount of Cl     8.63 g

MW Si = 28 g

MW Cl = 35.5

Process (rule of three)

For Si                                                        For Cl

        28 g of Si ------------------ 1 mol                      35.5 g of Cl --------------- 1 mol

          1.71g of Si  ---------------   x                              8.63 g of Cl --------------  x

         x = 1.71 x 1 / 28 = 0.06 mol                          x = 8.63 x 1 / 35.5 = 0.24 mol

Now, divide both results by the lowest of them.

Si = 0.06 mol / 0.06 = 1 molecule of Si     Cl = 0.24 / 0.06 = 4 molecules of Cl

Finally

                     Si₁ Cl₄ or SiCl₄

You are required to prepare 500 ml of a 6.00 M solution of HNO3 from a stock solution of 12.0 M. Describe in detail how you woul
andriy [413]

Answer: 250 ml of stock solution with molarity of 12.0 M is measured using a pipette and 250 ml of water is added to volumetric flask of 500 ml to make the final volume of 500 ml.

Explanation:

According to the dilution law,

C_1V_1=C_2V_2

where,

C_1 = concentration of stock solution = 12.0 M

V_1 = volume of stock solution = ?

C_2 = concentration of diluted solution= 6.00 M

V_2 = volume of diluted acid solution = 500 ml

Putting in the values we get:

12.0\times V_1=6.00\times 500

V_1=250ml

Thus 250 ml of stock solution with molarity of 12.0 M is measured using a pipette and 250 ml of water is added to volumetric flask of 500 ml to make the final volume of 500 ml.

Given the balanced chemical equation, SiO2(s) + 4 HF(g) → SiF4(g) + 2 H2O(l) ΔH°rxn = −184 kJ Determine the mass (in grams) of H
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

mass HF = 150.05 g

Explanation:

  • SiO2(s) + 4HF(g) → SiF4(g) + 2H2O(l)

⇒ Q = (ΔH°rxn * mHF) / (mol HF * MwHF )

∴ MwHF = 20.0063 g/mol

∴ mol HF = 4 mol

∴ ΔH°rxn = - 184 KJ

∴ Q = 345 KJ

mass HF ( mHF ):

⇒ mHF = ( Q * mol HF * MwHF ) / ΔH°rxn

⇒ mHF = ( 345 KJ * 4mol HF * 20.0063 g/mol ) / 184 KJ

⇒ mHF = 150.05 g HF
