Could you separate the sodium from the chlorine by crushing the salt crystals

Chemistry

No, you cannot.

The distinction is made in the fact that the sodium and chlorine atoms are bonded chemically, while the crushing of the salt is a physical change. A physical change is one that does not have the ability to change the identity of the substance. Such changes include crushing, boiling, melting. In order to separate the chlorine and sodium atoms, you must make them undergo a chemical change, for example add the salt to sulfuric acid and make it react.

The empirical formula of a compound is CH. At 200 degree C, 0.145 g of this compound occupies 97.2 mL at a pressure of 0.74 atm.
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

The molecular formula = C_{6}H_{6}

Explanation:

Given that:

Mass of compound, m = 0.145 g

Temperature = 200 °C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So,  

T = (200 + 273.15) K = 473.15 K

V = 97.2 mL = 0.0972 L

Pressure = 0.74 atm

Considering,  

n=\frac{m}{M}

Using ideal gas equation as:

PV=\frac{m}{M}RT

where,  

P is the pressure

V is the volume

m is the mass of the gas

M is the molar mass of the gas

T is the temperature  

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

Applying the values in the above equation as:-

0.74\times 0.0972=\frac{0.145}{M}\times 0.0821\times 473.15

M=78.31\ g/mol

The empirical formula is = CH

Molecular formulas is the actual number of atoms of each element in the compound while empirical formulas is the simplest or reduced ratio of the elements in the compound.

Thus,  

Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass

Where, n is any positive number from 1, 2, 3...

Mass from the Empirical formula = 12 + 1 = 13 g/mol

Molar mass = 78.31 g/mol

So,  

Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass

78.31 = n × 13

⇒ n ≅ 6

The molecular formula = C_{6}H_{6}

Which statement best describes the compressibility of a gas?
maria [59]

The answer to the question stated above is:
<span> Gas is easily compressible because the molecules of a gas are much further apart than those of a solid.</span>


characteristic properties of gases:

(1) they are easy to compress,

(2) they expand to fill their containers, and

(3) they occupy far more space than the liquids or solids from which they form.
