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

Chemistry

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

If 125 grams of Cu reacts 75 grams of HNO3, how many grams of Cu(NO3) form?
melisa1 [442]

Answer: 37.5grams of Cu(NO3)2

Cu(1mol) + 2HNO3(2mol) —> Cu(NO3)2 + H2

<em>125 grams of Cu(1mol) reacts with 75 grams of HNO3(2mol)</em>

<em><u>HNO3 is the limiting substance, therefore, 75 grams is the limiting quantity.</u></em>

<em>Therefore, 2mol of HNO3 forms 1mol of Cu(NO3)2</em>

<em>75 grams of HNO3 forms...75grams x 1mol/2mol = 37.5 grams of Cu(NO3)2</em>
