What is the empirical formula for a compound if a sample contains 3.72 g of P and 21.28 g of Cl?

1 answer:

4 0

Given 3.72 g of P and 21.28g of Cl, converting these to moles: ( 3.72 g P)(mol P/30.97 g P) = 0.12 mol P (21.28 g Cl)(mol Cl/35.45 g Cl) = 0.60 mol Cl P:Cl = 0.12/0.60, therefore P: Cl =1/5 Therefore, PCl5 hope it helps

At 300.0 K and 0.987 atm pressure, what will be the volume of 2.30 mol of Ne?

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

V = 57.39 L

Explanation:

Given that,

Temperature, T = 300 K

Pressure, P = 0.987 atm

No. of moles of Ne, n = 2.30 mol

We need to find the volume of Ne. We know that, the ideal gas law is as follows :

PV = nRT

Where

P is pressure and R is gas constant

$V=\dfrac{nRT}{P}\\\\V=\dfrac{2.3\times 0.0821\times 300}{0.987 }\\\\V=57.39\ L$

So, the volume of the Ne is 57.39 L.

I think if you added a proton you would have chlorine.

The noble gasses are the he chemical elements in group 18 of the periodic table. The gasses in this family include helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon. All these gasses are colorless are oderless, elements in this family have atoms with a full outer shell of electrons. They are also called inert gasses.

The thermochemical equation for the reaction of carbon dioxide with sulfur dioxide is shown below. How can the reaction be descr

prisoha [69]

Answer: d. has high activation energy

Activation energy is the energy that a system requires to start a certain process. Also, it is the minimum energy necessary for a given chemical reaction to occur. For a reaction to occur between two molecules, they must collide in the correct orientation and have a minimum amount of energy equal to the activation energy.

As the molecules approach, their electron clouds repel, so energy is required for the collision to occur and therefore the reaction. The activation energy comes from the heat of the system, that is, the translational, vibrational energy, etc. of each molecule. However, if this energy is not enough, the reaction will not be spontaneous.

A reaction between two molecules can be favored by supplying energy to the system. In the case raised in the question, energy equal to 1104 kJ is provided to the system to favor the next reaction

CO2 (g) + 2SO2 (g) → CS2 (g) + 3O2 (g)

Since the energy equal to 1104 kJ is included in the reactants, it can be deduced that it is the energy that is provided to the system for the reaction to occur. However, from the value of this energy it can not be said whether the system is endothermic or exothermic since it is a kinetic variable and the variables of this type do not allow predicting the thermodynamic behavior of a system.

Furthermore, it can be seen that the value of this energy is considerably high, therefore the reaction described has a high activation energy.
