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

Answer:

GAY-LUSSAC'S LAW.

Explanation:

P1 = 765 torr

T1 = 23°C = 296K

P2 = 560. torr

T2 = ?

(765 torr)/(296K) = (560. torr)/ T2

T2 = 226 K = -57°C

What is the pH of an aqueous solution with [H3O+] = 6×10−12 M ?
hram777 [196]

Answer: pH = 10.92

Explanation:

To determine the pH of an aqueous solution, we use the following mathematical relation; pH = - log [H3O+]

                                           = - log (6 x 10∧ -12)

                                           = 12 - 1.08

                                   pH =  10.92
