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

Which of the following laboratory procedures best illustrates the law of conservation of mass?
fomenos

The  laboratory  procedure that best  illustrate the law of conservation  is

heating 100 g of CaCo3  to produce  56 g of CaO  (answer C)

<u><em>explanation</em></u>

According to the law  of mass conservation ,  the mass of the  reactant  must   be equal  to the mass  of the product.

 According  to  option c Heating  100 g CaCO3  to produces  56 g CaO  (  40 +16=56)

The remaining mass  = 100-56  =  44  which  would the mass of CO2  [  12 + (16 x2)]= 44   since  CaCO3  decomposes to produce CaO  and  CO2


Therefore  the  mass  of reactant=   100g

                       mass  of product =  56 g +44 g =100

Therefore the laboratory    procedure for  decomposition  of CaCO<em>3</em>  illustrate the law of mass  conservation since the mass of reactant = mass of product.

If you had 2.50 moles of anything, how many of those things would you have?
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

1.51 x 10²⁴ things

Explanation:

According to Avogadro's Constant.

1 mole of any substance, constains 6.02×10²³ particles of that subtance.

From the question,

If we have 2.50 moles of anything,

1 mole of anything ⇒ 6.02×10²³ things

2.50 moles of anything ⇒ y things

solving for y

y = (2.50× 6.02×10²³)/1

y = 15.05×10²³

y = 1.505×10²⁴

y ≈ 1.51×10²⁴
