If the complete conversion of 1.383g of XI2 results in the formation of 0.564g of XCl2,what is the atomic mass of the element X

Chemistry

Marina CMI [18]3 years ago

Answer:

So X has an atomic mass of 55.05 u, and is probably Mn

Explanation:

<u>Step1: </u>Balance the equation

XI2 +Cl2 →  XCl2 + I2

<u>Step2:</u> find the molar mass of the compounds

<em><u>Compounds : </u></em>

X  ⇒ Molar mass = M

XI2 ⇒ Molar mass = M + 2*126.9 u

XCl2 ⇒Molar mass = M + 2*35.45u

⇒For 1 mole XI2 we have 1 mole Cl2 reacting , as well as 1 mole XCl2 and 1 mole I2 produced.

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculating the atomic mass

(1.383g * XI2) / (M + 2*126.90 u)  = (0.564g * XCl2) / ( M + 2 * 35.45u)

1.383 (M + 2 *35.45 u )= 0.564 (M  + 2*126.90)

1.383M + 98.0547 = 0.564 M + 143.1432

1.383 M - 0.564 M =143.1432 - 98.0547

0.819 M = 45.0885

M = 55.05 u

So X has an atomic mass of 55.05 u ⇒ if we look at the periodic table we can find that the closest element is Manganese (Mn)

MnI2 + Cl2 → MnCl2 + I2

What evidence did wegener use to create his theory of continental drift?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Wegener used fossil evidence to support his continental drift hypothesis. The fossils of these organisms are found on lands that are now far apart. Grooves and rock deposits left by ancient glaciers are found today on different continents very close to the equator.

How does bohrs model agree with Thomson model
Airida [17]
Bohr's Model agree with Thompson's model because Bohr concluded that packets of energy are absorbed or emitted by the atoms when an electron changes shell. Thompson's conclusion states that atoms have small, negatively charged particles (referring to Electrons) as part of their internal structure.

Which two changes would make this reaction favor the formation of products? 2502 +02= 2503 + energy A. Raising the temperature B
Alisiya [41]

C. Decreasing the temperature

D. Raising the pressure​

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

2SO₂+O₂⇔2SO₃+energy

Required

Changes to  the formation of products

Solution

The formation of SO₃ is an exothermic reaction (releases heat)

If the system temperature is raised, then the equilibrium reaction will reduce the temperature by shifting the reaction in the direction that requires heat (endotherms). Conversely, if the temperature is lowered, then the equilibrium shifts to a reaction that releases heat (exothermic)  

While on the change in pressure, then the addition of pressure, the reaction will shift towards a smaller reaction coefficient  

in the above reaction: the number of coefficients on the left is 3 (2 + 1) while the right is 2

As the temperature decreases, the equilibrium will shift towards the exothermic reaction, so the reaction shifts to the right towards SO₃( products-favored)

And increasing the pressure, then the reaction shifts to the right SO₃( products-favored)⇒the number of coefficients is greater
