Why Sncl2 is solid but SnCl4 is liquid at room temperature

1 answer:

5 0

Stannous(IV) chloride is a substance of molecular structure, so it is a liquid and volatile. Stannous(II) chloride is a substance of a crystal structure, therefore, is in the solid state at room temperature.

Selina drops a golf ball down a deep well. The ball falls with only the force of gravity acting on it. Without any air resistanc

ss7ja [257]

Answer: A. constant

Without any air resistance, as the golf ball falls into the well, its speed is constant.

Explanation:

Given that when the ball is released,there is no air resistance acting on ball. So the ball is freely falling. 

The only force acting on the freely falling body is the gravitational force pulling the body towards the centre of the earth.Here the only acceleration acting on the body is the acceleration due to gravity.

The acceleration due to gravity is $9.8 m/s^2$ . so through out the journey of the ball,the acceleration is $9.8 m/s^2$ . So as the acceleration is constant, the speed is also constant.

Resonance structures differ by ________. resonance structures differ by ________. number of atoms only number of electrons only

lapo4ka [179]

The answer to this question would be: placement of electrons only

An atom with resonance structure or mesomerism has one or more different structure with different placement of the electron. The atom should have a same amount of electron but only differ in the electron position. This will result in a different Lewis structure model. In this structure, you can find π electrons pair.

How many formula units make up 24.2 g of magnesium chloride (MgCl2)? Help!!

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Approximately $1.53 \times 10^{23}$ formula units ( $0.254\; \rm mol$ ).

Explanation:

Refer to a modern periodic table for the relative atomic mass of magnesium ( $\rm Mg$ ) and chlorine ( $\rm Cl$ ):

$\rm Mg$ : $24.305$ .
$\rm Cl$ : $35.45$ .

In other words, the mass of $1\; \rm mol$ of $\rm Mg$ atoms would be (approximately) $24.305\; \rm g$ .

Likewise, the mass of $1\; \rm mol$ of $\rm Cl$ atoms would be approximately $35.45\; \rm g$ .

One formula unit of the ionic compound $\rm MgCl_{2}$ includes exactly as many atoms as there are in the given formula. The formula mass of a compound is the mass of $1\; \rm mol$ of the formula units of this compound.

The formula $\rm MgCl_{2}$ includes one $\rm Mg$ atom and two $\rm Cl$ atoms.

Hence, every formula unit of $\rm MgCl_{2} \!$ would include the same number of atoms: one $\rm Mg\!$ atom and two $\rm Cl\!$ atoms. There would be $1\; \rm mol$ of $\rm Mg$ atoms and $2\; \rm mol$ of $\rm Cl$ atoms in $1\; \rm mol\!$ of $\rm MgCl_{2}$ formula units.

Thus, the mass of $1\; \rm mol\!$ of $\rm MgCl_{2}$ formula units would be equal to the mass of $1\; \rm mol$ of $\rm Mg$ atoms plus the mass of $2\; \rm mol$ of $\rm Cl$ atoms. (The mass of $1\; \rm mol\!\!$ of each atom could be found from the relative atomic mass of each element.)

$\begin{aligned}& M({\rm MgCl_{2}}) \\ =\; & 24.305\; {\rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} + 2\times {\rm 35.45 \; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} \\ =\; & 95.205\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}\end{aligned}$ .

In other words, the formula mass of $\rm MgCl_{2}$ is $95.205\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ .

Therefore, the number of formula units in $m = 24.2\; \rm g$ of $\rm MgCl_{2}$ would be:

$\begin{aligned}n &= \frac{m({\rm MgCl_{2}})}{M({\rm MgCl_{2}})} \\ &= \frac{24.2\; \rm g}{95.205\; \rm g\cdot mol^{-1}} \\ & \approx 0.254\; \rm mol\end{aligned}$ .

Multiple $n$ by Avogadro's Number $N_{A} \approx 6.022 \times 10^{23}\; \rm mol^{-1}$ to estimate the number of formula units in $0.254\; \rm mol$ :

$\begin{aligned}N &= n \cdot N_{A} \\ &\approx 0.254\; \rm mol \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}\; \rm mol^{-1} \\ &\approx 1.53\times 10^{23}\end{aligned}$ .
