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

The 85.2-g sample of the compound x4o10 contains 48.0 g of oxygen atoms. what is the molar mass of element x?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
X4O10
Let molar mass of X be y
molar mass =  4y + 10 x 16 = 4y+160

so, moles = 85.2 / (4y+160)

Moles of oxygen = 10 x [85.2 / (4y+160) ]
Mass of oxygen  = 16 x 10 x [85.2 / (4y+160) ]
which is 48.0

so, 48 = 16 x 10 x [85.2 / (4y+160) ]

Solve the equation to get y.

y = 31

Which of the following is true for the actual yield of a reaction?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

It is always less than the theoretical yield

Explanation:

For many chemical reactions, the actual yield is usually less than the theoretical yield. This is due to possible loss in the process or inefficiency of the chemical reaction.

What is the pH of a solution that has a pOH of 5.9
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

pH = 8.1

Explanation:

Assuming that we are at 25 degrees Celsius, pH + pOH = 14.

We can then plug in the given pOH and solve for pH:

pH + pOH = 14

pH + 5.9 = 14

pH = 14 - 5.9 = 8.1
