Answer:

Option A. FeCl3

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of iron (Fe) = 6.25g

Mass of the compound formed = 18g

From the question, we were told that the compound formed contains chlorine. Therefore the mass of chlorine is obtained as follow

Mass of chlorine (Cl) = Mass of compound formed – Mass of iron.

Mass of chlorine (Cl) = 18 – 6.25

Mass of chlorine (Cl) = 11.75g

The compound therefore contains:

Iron (Fe) = 6.25g

Chlorine (Cl) = 11.75g

The empirical formula for the compound can be obtained by doing the following:

Step 1:

Divide by their molar mass

Fe = 6.25/56 = 0.112

Cl = 11.75/35.5 = 0.331

Step 2:

Divide by the smallest

Fe = 0.112/0.112 = 1

Cl = 0.331/0.112 = 3

The empirical formula for the compound is FeCl3

Ice floats on water. For most other substances however, the solid sinks in the liquid. Classify each of these statements as true

Brut [27]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

Water has the anomality of having the solid less dense than the liquid state. The reason for this is that the hydrogen bonds in the solid ice forces the molecule to occupy more room to properly have the stability afforded by the hydrogen bonds. That is the reason why ice floats on water.

The other interesting consequence of this anomality is that the slope of the solid/liquid phase boundary is negative since at higher pressures the ice can be changed to its liquid phase which can be seen from the negative slope of the solid/liquid boundary.

A) True

B) False

C) False

D) True

E) False

F) True close up to 4 ºC when the water molecules start to behave like other liquids, that is the density of the liquid decreases.

G) True

H) True ( repeated question)
