We are already given with the mass of the Xe and it is 5.08 g. We can calculate for the mass of the fluorine in the compound by subtracting the mass of xenon from the mass of the compound.

  mass of Xenon (Xe) = 5.08 g
  mass of Fluorine (F) = 9.49 g - 5.08 g = 4.41 g

Determine the number of moles of each of the element in the compound. 
    moles of Xenon (Xe) = (5.08 g)(1 mol Xe / 131.29 g of Xe) = 0.0387 mols of Xe
   moles of Fluorine (F) = (4.41 g)(1 mol F/ 19 g of F) = 0.232 mols of F

The empirical formula is therefore,
      Xe(0.0387)F(0.232)
Dividing the numerical coefficient by the lesser number.
<em>     XeF₆</em>

Which of the following is the most likely sign that a chemical change has happened?
Dovator [93]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is B) two liquids are mixed at room temperature and a gas forms.</em>

Explanation:

A chemical change can be described as a change which results in the formation of a new substance by the reactants. In the option B, two liquids react  to form a new product which is a gas. Hence, it is an example of chemical change.

Other options,like option D, is not a chemical change as by crushing a solid no new product is formed. Option C is also not correct because as when salt dissolves in water, no new product is made.

A student is asked to standardize a solution of potassium hydroxide. He weighs out 1.08 g potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHC8H4O4
natka813 [3]

Answer:

A. 0.143 M

B. 0.0523 M

Explanation:

A.

Let's consider the neutralization reaction between potassium hydroxide and potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP).

KOH + KHC₈H₄O₄ → H₂O + K₂C₈H₄O₄

The molar mass of KHP is 204.22 g/mol. The moles corresponding to 1.08 g are:

1.08 g × (1 mol/204.22 g) = 5.28 × 10⁻³ mol

The molar ratio of KOH to KHC₈H₄O₄ is 1:1. The reacting moles of KOH are 5.28 × 10⁻³ moles.

5.28 × 10⁻³ moles of KOH occupy a volume of 36.8 mL. The molarity of the KOH solution is:

M = 5.28 × 10⁻³ mol / 0.0368 L = 0.143 M

B.

Let's consider the neutralization of potassium hydroxide and perchloric acid.

KOH + HClO₄ → KClO₄ + H₂O

When the molar ratio of acid (A) to base (B) is 1:1, we can use the following expression.

M_{A} \times V_{A} = M_{B} \times V_{B}\\M_{A} = \frac{M_{B} \times V_{B}}{V_{A}} \\M_{A} = \frac{0.143 M \times 10.1mL}{27.6mL}\\M_{A} =0.0523 M
