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

A base has a molarity of 1.5M w.R.T the hydroxyl ion concentration. If 7.35 cm3 of this base is taken and diluted to 147 cm3, th
daser333 [38]

Answer:

0.077M is the concentration of the hydroxyl ion

Explanation:

Dilution factor is the ratio between the aliquot that is taken of a solution and the total volume of the diluted solution.

For the problem, dilution factor is:

7.53cm³ / 147cm³ =<em> 0.05122</em>

To obtain molarity of a diluted solution you must multiply dilution factor and initial molarity of the solution, thus:

1.5 M × 0.05122 = <em>0.077M is the concentration of the hydroxyl ion</em>
