How many atoms of chlorine are in the carbon tetrachloride molecule?

Chemistry
2 answers:
zaharov [31]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

4 atoms of Chlorine

Explanation:

This is actually easy to explain,

First we have here a type of nomenclature. This one is the sistematic nomenclature, and begins by naming the number of atoms that one element has, beggining for the non metal first, and then the metal or the non metal acting like a metal. In this case, the Carbon is acting like a metal.

The number of atoms are named by a prefix of the number. Each number has a determined prefix. Here are some of them:

one = 1 = mono

two = 2 = bi or di

three = 3 = tri

Four = 4 = tetra

Five = 5 = penta

Six = 6 = Hexa

So tetrachloride, means that we have 4 atoms of chlorine in the molecule and the molecule is this one: CCl4

How many moles of FeCl3 could be produced from 6.1 moles of Cly?<br> 2 Fe + 3Cl2 —&gt; 2 FeCl2
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

4.1 moles of FeCl₃

Explanation:

The reaction expression is given as shown below:

         2Fe    +       3Cl₂   →    2FeCl₃

Number of moles of Cl₂  = 6.1moles

So;

  We know that from the balanced reaction expression:

                       3 moles of Cl₂ will produce 2 moles of FeCl₃

Therefore    6.1moles of Cl₂ will produce \frac{6.1 x 2}{3}   = 4.1 moles of FeCl₃

The number of moles is 4.1 moles of FeCl₃

How do you sort bonds by polarity
zzz [600]
Your question isn't quite clear, but if you're wondering if a chemical is polar or non-polar, you simply draw a VSEPR sketch and draw arrows where the bonds are. Only draw arrows between atoms, NOT between an atom and a lone pair of electrons. The arrow should point to the most electronegative atom (you should be given an electronegativity scale). Afterwards, you add up the arrows as vectors, and look at the sum of the vectors. If the sum is zero (CH4 is a good example), the chemical is non-polar. If the sum is a vector, the chemical is polar (H2O, or water, is polar).

In many cases, a negatively charged compound (ex Cl-) will interact with a positively charged metal (ex Fe2 ). Usually we would
Zina [86]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

An ionic bond occurs due to electrostatic attraction between a positively charged ion and a negatively charged ion.

A metal and a ligand are bound by a coordinate covalent bond or a dative bond. This bond occurs due to donation of electron pairs from ligands to available orbitals on metals.

The formation of coordinate bonds is evident when neutral molecules or negative ions with non bonding electrons donate same to empty metal orbitals. This is sometimes shown by an arrow pointing from the ligands to the metal center.

For instance; tetraammine copper II ion is formed when four ammonia molecules donate a lone pair each to available vacant orbitals of the copper metal center to form [Cu(NH3)4]^2+.
