Answer:

Cl₂O₇

Explanation:

For the reaction:

ClₓOₙ + H₂ → HCl + H₂O

Moles of HCl and moles of H₂O are:

HCl: 0.233g HCl ₓ (1mol / 36.46g) = 6.39x10⁻³ mol HCl

H₂O: 0.403g H₂O ₓ (1mol / 18.02g) = 2.236x10⁻² mol H₂O

As you can see, moles of HCl are equivalent to moles of Cl in the compound and moles of H₂O are equivalent to moles of O in the compound, that means:

6.39x10⁻³ mol Cl

2.236x10⁻² mol O

Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of atoms presents in a molecule. If Cl is <em>1</em>, Oxygen will be:

2.236x10⁻² mol / 6.39x10⁻³ = <em>3.5</em>

As empirical formula must be given in natural numbers, the empirical formula is:

<em>Cl₂O₇</em>

Answer:

Cl2O7

Explanation:

Molar mass of HCl= 36.5gmol-1

Molar mass of water =18gmol-1

To get the ratio of chlorine present in the original substance

0.233/36.5= 0.00638

To get ratio of oxygen present in the original compound

0.403/18= 0.0224

Then divide through by the lowest ratio

Cl- 0.00638/0.00638 O- 0.0224/0.00638

Cl- 1 O- 3.5

Multiplying through by 2 to give whole numbers

Cl-2. O-7

Hence the empirical formula of the compound is Cl2O7

Pleassse help!!!

True

Explanation:

Harry Hess in 1961 resurrected Wegener's continental drift hypothesis and also he mantle convection idea of Arthur Holmes by postulating the theory of sea floor spreading.

  • After Wegener's postulation of the continental drift hypothesis, not much was done.
  • It was only around 1931 that Arthur Holmes came up with the idea of a convecting mantle.
  • After the second world war passed, new instruments were used to investigate and map the ocean floor.
  • Through this, Arthur Holmes came up with the idea of a spreading sea floor.
  • This gave a full gleam picture to the idea of a moving earth and the more accepted terminology of "Plate tectonics " came to the fore.

* The cost of table salt and table sugar is Rs 15 per kg.
Vilka [71]

Cost per mole

Table salt : Rs 0.878

Table sugar : Rs 23.63

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Cost table salt (NaCl) = 15/kg

Cost table sugar(sucrose-C12H22O11) = 69/kg

Required

cost per mole

Solution

mol of 1 kg Table salt(NaCl ,MW= 58.5 g/mol) :

\tt mol=\dfrac{1000~g}{58.5}=17.09~mol=Rs~15\rightarrow 1~mol=Rs~0.878

mol of 1 kg Table sugar(C12H22O11 ,MW= 342 g/mol) :

\tt mol=\dfrac{1000}{342}=2.92~mol=Rs~69\rightarrow 1~mol=Rs~23.63
