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

What would you predict about a chemical that has a hydrogen ion concentration of 1×10 to the -12
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

It is basic.

Explanation:-

Given hydrogen ion concentration [H+] = 1×10^-12

Using the formula

pH = - log [H+]

= - log [ 1 x 10^-12]

= 12

Since the pH is more than 7, the chemical is basic

What is Δn for the following equation in relating Kc to Kp?<br> 2 SO2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2 SO3(g)
swat32

Answer:

Δ N = -1

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

2 SO2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2 SO3(g)

For 2 moles of SO2 we need 1 mol of O2 to produce 2 moles of SO3

Step 2: Calculate Δ

Δ N  wNill be the sum of moles of products minus the sum of moles of reactants.

Number of moles of products = number of moles of SO3 = 2

Number of moles of reactants = number of moles of SO2 + number of moles of O2 = 2 + 1 = 3

Δ N = 2 - 3 = -1
