The balanced chemical reaction is:

2C6H6 + 15O2 → 12CO2 + 6H2O

We are given the amount of carbon dioxide to be produced for the reaction. This will be the starting point of our calculations.

42 g CO2 ( 1 mol CO2 / 44.01 g CO2) ( 2 mol C6H6 / 12 mol CO2 ) (78.1074 g C6H6 / 1 mol C6H6) = 12.42 grams of C6H6

Which statement best describes a property of a compound? A compound is made up of a single atom. B. A compound is made up of man

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

D. A compound can be separated into two or more elements through a chemical reaction.

Explanation:

By method of elimination, we are going t obtain the correct option.

A. A compound is made up of a single atom.

This is wrong because, a compound can contain more than one atom. An example is H2O

B. A compound is made up of many atoms that are all the same type.

This is wrong because a compound can contain atoms of different elements. An example is H2O. It contains atoms of hydrogen and oxygen.

C. A compound can be separated into two or more elements through physical processes.

This is wrong. H2O being a compound cannot be separated by ordinary physical means.

D. A compound can be separated into two or more elements through a chemical reaction.

This is the correct option.

Chlorine pentafluoride gas is collected at -17.0 °C in an evacuated flask with measured volume of 35.0 L. When all the gas has b

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

1. The mass of Chlorine pentafluoride, ClF5, is 39.16g

2. The number of mole of Chlorine pentafluoride, ClF5, is 0.3mole

Explanation:

1. To solve the mass of Chlorine pentafluoride, ClF5, first, let us calculate the molar mass of ClF5. This is illustrated below:

Molar Mass of ClF5 = 35.5 + (5 x 19) = 35.5 + 95 = 130.5g/mol

From the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT (1)

Recall:

Number of mole(n) = mass (m) /Molar Mass(M)

n = m/M

Now substituting the value of n in equation 1, we have:

PV = nRT

PV = mRT/M

Now we can obtain the mass of Chlorine pentafluoride ClF5 as follow:

Data obtained from the question include:

T (temperature) = -17.0 °C = - 17 + 273 = 256K

V (volume) = 35L

P (pressure) = 0.180 atm

R (gas constant) = 0.082atm.L/Kmol

m (mass of Chlorine pentafluoride) =?

M (molar mass of Chlorine pentafluoride) = 130.5g/mol

PV = mRT/M

0.180 x 35 = m x 0.082 x 256/ 130.5

Cross multiply to express in linear form as shown below:

m x 0.082 x 256 = 0.180x35x130.5

Divide both side by 0.082 x 256

m = (0.180x35x130.5) /(0.082x256)

m = 39.16g

Therefore, the mass of Chlorine pentafluoride, ClF5, is 39.16g

2. The number of mole of ClF5 can be obtained as follow:

Mass of ClF5 = 39.16g

Molar Mass of ClF5 = 130.5g/mol

Mole of ClF5 =?

Number of mole = Mass /Molar Mass

Mole of ClF5 = 39.16/130.5g

Mole of ClF5 = 0.3mole
