Answer is: identity of the metal is gold (Au).

ω(Cl) = 35.06% ÷ 100%.

ω(Cl) = 0.3506; mass percentage of chlorine.

If we take 100 grams of the compound:

m(Cl) = ω(Cl) · m(compound).

ω(Cl) = 0.3506 · 100 g.

ω(Cl) = 35.06 g.

n(Cl) = m(Cl) ÷ M(Cl).

n(Cl) = 35.06 g ÷ 35.45 g/mol.

n(Cl) = 0.99 mol; amount of substance.

In molecule MCl₃: n(M) : n(Cl) = 1 : 3.

n(M) = 0.33 mol; amount of unknown metal.

M(M) = m(M) ÷ n(M).

M(M) = (100 g - 35.06 g) ÷ 0.33 mol.

M(M) = 196.8 g/mol; molar mass of the gold.

A hot air balloon is filled with 15 moles helium gas and 5 moles nitrogen gas. What is the volume of the balloon at 1.01 atm and

kvasek [131]

Given:

Moles of He = 15

Moles of N2 = 5

Pressure (P) = 1.01 atm

Temperature (T) = 300 K

To determine:

The volume (V) of the balloon

Explanation:

From the ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

where P = pressure of the gas

V = volume

n = number of moles of the gas

T = temperature

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L-atm/mol-K

In this case we have:-

n(total) = 15 + 5 = 20 moles

P = 1.01 atm and T = 300K

V = nRT/P = 20 moles * 0.0821 L-atm/mol-K * 300 K/1.01 atm = 487.7 L

Ans: Volume of the balloon is around 488 L

The acid dissociation constant Ka of boric acid (H3BO3) is 5.8 times 10^-10. Calculate the pH of a 4.4 M solution of boric acid.

madam [21]

Answer: The pH of a 4.4 M solution of boric acid is 4.3

Explanation:

$H_3BO_3\rightarrow H^+H_2BO_3^-$

at t=0 cM 0 0

at eqm $c-c\alpha$ $c\alpha$ $c\alpha$

So dissociation constant will be:

$K_a=\frac{(c\alpha)^{2}}{c-c\alpha}$

Give c= 4.4 M and $\alpha$ = ?

$K_a=5.8\times 10^{-10}$

Putting in the values we get:

$5.8\times 10^{-10}=\frac{(4.4\times \alpha)^2}{(4.4-4.4\times \alpha)}$

$(\alpha)=0.000011$

$[H^+]=c\times \alpha$

$[H^+]=4.4\times 0.000011=4.8\times 10^{-5}M$

Also $pH=-log[H^+]$

$pH=-log[4.8\times 10^{-5}]=4.3$

Thus pH of a 4.4 M $H_3BO_3$ solution is 4.3

Is potassium fluoride a covalent bond or ionic bond

Ivahew [28]

It's an ionic bond! Potassium is a cation, or a metal with a positive charge, and fluoride is an anion, or a nonmetal with a negative charge.

A covalent bond is the bond between two nonmetals.

Hope this helped!

1. How many moles of oxygen gas are needed to form 21.8 liters of water vapor?

BaLLatris [955]

0.781 moles

Explanation:

We begin by balancing the chemical equation;

O₂ (g) + 2H₂ (g) → 2H₂O (g)

21.8 Liters = 21.8 Kgs

To find how many moles are in 28.1 Kg H₂O;

Molar mass of H₂O = 18 g/mol

28.1/18

= 1.56 moles

The mole ratio between water vapor and oxygen is;

1 : 2

x : 1.56

2x = 1.56

x = 1.56 / 2

x = 0.781

0.781 moles
