CO_2 sublimes readily at 25°C. Which properties are usually associated with a compound that undergoes this kind of change?

antoniya [11.8K]

Explanation:

Sublimation is defined as a process in which solid state of a substance directly changes into vapor or gaseous state without undergoing liquid phase.

For example, naphthalene balls show sublimation at room temperature.

As this process does not cause any change in chemical composition of a substance. Hence, it is known as a physical process.

Similarly, when $CO_{2}$ sublimes readily at $25^{o}C$ . This shows change in physical state of carbon dioxide is taking place, i.e, from solid to gaseous phase.

Thus, we can conclude that when $CO_{2}$ sublimes readily at $25^{o}C$ then it means physical properties are usually associated with a compound that undergoes this kind of change.

How come there is only 3 C5H12 isomers?

liraira [26]

That's because the first and last carbon atoms cannot be branched to form an isomer . Therefore only the three middle carbon atoms can form isomers.

How many grams of aluminum chloride are produced when 5.96 grams of aluminum are reacted with excess chlorine gas? Start with a

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

29.47 g of AlCl₃.

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

2Al + 3Cl₂ —> 2AlCl₃

Next, we shall determine the mass of Al that reacted and the mass of AlCl₃ produced from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of Al = 27 g/mol

Mass of Al from the balanced equation = 2 × 27 = 54 g

Molar mass of AlCl₃ = 27 + (35.5× 3)

= 27 + 106.5

= 133.5 g/mol

Mass of AlCl₃ from the balanced equation = 2 × 133.5 = 267 g

SUMMARY:

From the balanced equation above,

54 g of Al reacted to produce 267 g of AlCl₃.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of AlCl₃ produced by the reaction of 5.96 g of Al. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

54 g of Al reacted to produce 267 g of AlCl₃.

Therefore, 5.96 g of Al will react to produce = (5.96 × 267)/54 = 29.47 g of AlCl₃.

Thus, 29.47 g of AlCl₃ were obtained from the reaction.
