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

An experiment was conducted to see which metal pot would be better for cooking food quickly. The table below shows how quickly s
KengaRu [80]

Answer : It is a conclusion.

Explanation:

Conclusion: It is a judgement or decision which can be attained by reasoning.

From the observation table given we can conclude that :

  • Aluminum ,bronze and steel took 27,45 and 80 seconds to melt small piece of wax respectively which means that more time will be required by them to transfer heat to the food while cooking. Hence,  food will take more time to cook in them.
  • Copper took less time of 15 seconds to melt the small piece of wax in comparison to other metal pots which means that it is a good conductor of heat in comparison to other. Hence, copper pot would be better for cooking food quickly.

After analyzing the observations and results in an experiment conclusion was made that copper pots are best for cooking foods.
