Answer:

The answer is 2 moles of HCl

Explanation:

To solve we have to adjust the equation:

PCl5 + 4H2O = 5HCl + H3PO4

we calculate the molecular weights of the compounds using the periodic table:

P = 30.97 g/mol

Cl = 5x35.45 = 177.25 g/mol

H = 1 g/mol

PCl5 = 30.97+177.25 = 208.22 g/mol

HCl =1+35.45 = 36.45 g/mol

we use a rule of three to calculate the mass of hydrochloric acid that forms when the 83.3 phosphorus pentachloride reacts:

208.22 g PCl5-----------------182.25 g HCl

83.3 g PCl5------------------------X g HCl

Clearing the X, we have:

X g HCl = (83.3x182.25)/208.22 = 72.91 g HCl

we calculate the moles of hydrochloric acid:

Moles of HCl = 72.91/36.45 = 2 moles of HCl

Determine if the equation is endothermic or exothermic examples
Fittoniya [83]
There are a couple of ways todetermine if a reaction is exothermic or endothermic. Endothermic meaning that heat is added to the reaction to make the reactants interact and exothermic meaning heat is released during the reaction between the two reactants.


In endothermic reactions you can find a triangle above the arrow.

What is the cell potential of an electrochemical cell that has the half-reactions shown below?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

E°(Ag⁺/Fe°) = 0.836 volt

Explanation:

3Ag⁺ + 3e⁻ => Ag°;            E° = +0.800 volt

Fe° => Fe⁺³ + 3e⁻ ;             E° = -0.036 volt

_________________________________

Fe°(s) + 3Ag⁺(aq) => Fe⁺³(aq) + 3Ag°(s) ...    

E°(Ag⁺/Fe°) = E°(Ag⁺) - E°(Fe°) = 0.800v - ( -0.036v) = 0.836 volt

Answer:

1. Which people are in the control group? The people who received the mint without the secret ingredient

(Group B) would be the control group.

2. What is the independent variable? Secret ingredient in the breath mint

3. What is the dependent variable? Amount of breath odor (or bad breath)

4. What should Mr. Krabs’ conclusion be? The breath mint with the secret ingredient appears to reduce the

amount of breath odor more than half the time, but it is not 100% effective.

5. Why do you think 10 people in group B reported fresher breath? This may be due to the placebo effect.
