What is the percent composition of chromium in CrCl3?

Chemistry

The oxidation state of Chromium chloride (III) is +3

How can we find the answer?

First of all write down what you know about the molecule:

1: The molecule hasn't got an electric charge (is not an ione), this means that either positive and negative charges of its atoms are balanced (we have the same number of positve and negative charges)

2: Since it's a salt, where the metal is chromium and the non metal is the alogen Chlorine, we know that the negative charge belogns to the non metal element because of its elettronegativity, therefore the positive charge belongs to the metale element (chromium).

3: when chlorin forms binary salts its oxidation state is always -1 (you can find out this info in a periodic table)

In <span>CrC<span>l3</span></span> we have 3 chlorine atoms where each of them carrys 1 negative charge, so the total amount of negative charges is -3

Since the charges are balanced, the question is: Which is the positive charge that Chromium must carry in order to balance 3 negative charges?

The answer comes out to +3

Determine the change in boiling point for 397.7 g of carbon disulfide (Kb = 2.34°C kg/mol) if 35.0 g of a nonvolatile, nonionizi
uysha [10]

Answer: The change in boiling point for 397.7 g of carbon disulfide (Kb = 2.34°C kg/mol) if 35.0 g of a nonvolatile, nonionizing compound is dissolved in it is 2.9^0C

Explanation:

Elevation in boiling point:

T_b-T^o_b=i\times k_b\times \frac{w_2\times 1000}{M_2\times w_1}

where,

T_b = boiling point of solution = ?

T^o_b = boiling point of pure carbon disulfide= 46.2^oC

k_b = boiling point constant  =2.34^0Ckg/mol

m = molality

i = Van't Hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolyte)

w_2 = mass of solute = 35.0 g

w_1 = mass of solvent (carbon disulphide) = 397.7 g

M_2 = molar mass of solute = 70.0 g/mol

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

(T_b-46.2)^oC=1\times (2.34^oC/m)\times \frac{(35.0g)\times 1000}{70.0\times (397.7g)}

T_b=49.1^0C

Therefore, the change in boiling point is (49.1-46.2)^oC=2.9^0C

Explain why mineral oil which is a mixture of hydrocarbons does not dissolve in water
Mkey [24]
Oil molecules like to stick to other oil molecules more than they like to stick to water molecules. This is because mineral oil has nonpolar molecules and water has polar ones.

The number of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate molecules that would be produced from 24 turns of the calvin cycle would be
SVEN [57.7K]
The Calvin cycle, also called the light-independent or carbon fixation reactions, is the second stage of photosynthesis where water, and carbon dioxide (CO2) from air, are converted into organic compounds (i.e. sugars) using the energy from short-lived electronically excited carriers (ATP and NADPH) for the reactions. These organic compounds can then be used by the producing organism (i.e. plants) and the animals that feed on it. 

One product of the Calvin cycle is the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P), which is later on used in the production of glucose and in the regeneration of <span>Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP), which is an organic compound</span> essential to the reactions in the cycle. 

One turn of Calvin Cycle produces 2 G3P molecules, each comprising of 3 carbons. This gives a total of 6 carbons. Five (5) of these carbons will be used to regenerate RuBP and only 1 will be available to form a surplus G3P later on. This surplus G3P will be used for the production of glucose (a 6-carbon sugar). 

Thus, 3 turns of the carbon cycle will produce 1 surplus G3P. There are 8 sets of 3-turns in 24 cycles, therefore, 

                       1 net G3P molecule * 8 sets of 3-turns  = 8 G3P molecules

Therefore, there are 8 net or surplus G3P molecules produced for 24 cycles of the Calvin Cycle. The total G3P molecules produced, including the ones that participated in the regeneration of RuBP would be 48 G3Ps. 

For every 3 turns, 6 G3P molecules are produced, 5 of which will be used in the regeneration of RuBP and 1 will be the net or surplus, to be used for the production of glucose. The 48 G3Ps then come from the calculation, 

                       6 total G3P molecules * 8 sets of 3-turns  = 48 G3P molecules


The figure below shows the products of the cycle after 3 turns (Source: https://ka-perseus-images.s3.amazonaws.com/2f4bdc8f8275834d3f5ef434d93bf16b991b2357.png).
