To convert from moles to grams you divide by the molar mass of the element. To convert from grams to moles you X by the molar mass element
A coefficient is a whole number that appears before the formula in an equation.
Answer:
Chemical changes occur when a substance combines with another to form a new substance, called chemical synthesis or, alternatively, chemical decomposition into two or more different substances. These processes are called chemical reactions and, in general, are not reversible except by further chemical reactions.
Explanation:
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
