Answer: The purpose of a hypothesis is to find the answer to a question.

Explanation:

A hypothesis is a statement which is written as a source of prediction which is based upon the assumption of the cause of a natural event or process. The purpose of the hypothesis is basically to find the relevant answers to the scientific question. It is based upon few evidences and the entire statement of the hypothesis is tested using experimental procedures.

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Gaseous compound Q contains only xenon and oxygen. When a 0.100 g sample of Q is placed in a 50.0-mL steel vessel at 0°C, the pressure is 0.230 atm. What is the likely formula of the compound?

A. XeO

B. $XeO_4$

C. $Xe_2O_2$

D. $Xe_2O_3$

E. $Xe_3O_2$

Answer: The chemical formula of the compound is $XeO_4$

Explanation:

To calculate the molecular weight of the compound, we use the equation given by ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

Or,

$PV=\frac{w}{M}RT$

where,

P = Pressure of the gas = 0.230 atm

V = Volume of the gas = 50.0 mL = 0.050 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

w = Weight of the gas = 0.100 g

M = Molar mass of gas = ?

R = Gas constant = $0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = Temperature of the gas = $0^oC=273K$

Putting value in above equation, we get:

$0.230\times 0.050=\frac{0.100}{M}\times 0.0821\times 273\\\\M=\frac{0.100\times 0.0821\times 273}{0.230\times 0.050}=194.9g/mol\approx 195g/mol$

The compound having mass as calculated is $XeO_4$

Hence, the chemical formula of the compound is $XeO_4$

Consider the insoluble compound cobalt(II) hydroxide , Co(OH)2 . The cobalt(II) ion also forms a complex with ammonia . Write a

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

4.56×10^-10

Explanation:

Co(OH)2(s)<------->Co^2+(aq) + 2OH^-(aq)

Co^2+(aq) + 6NH3(aq) ---------->[Co(NH3)6]^2+(aq)

Overall equation:

Co(OH)2(s)+ 6NH3(aq) ---------->[Co(NH3)6]^2+(aq) + 2OH^-(aq)

The increased solubility of the cobalt salt in the presence of ammonia is as a result of the formation of the hexammine cobalt II complex shown above.

Knet= Ksp×Kf

Ksp of Co(OH)2= 5.92 × 10^-15.

Kf= 7.7 x 10^4

Knet= 5.92 × 10^-15 × 7.7 x 10^4

Knet= 4.56×10^-10

Note Knet is the equilibrium constant of the overall reaction.
