A compound with a composition of 87.5 % n and 12.5 % h was recently discovered. what is the empirical formula of this compound?

1 answer:

7 0

Assume you have 100 g of the compound so you have 87.5 g N and 12.5 H and divide by their molar masses.

87.5 g N / <span>14.0067</span> g (molar mass) = ~6.25 moles

12.5 g H / 1.008 = ~2.4 moles

Empirical Formula = N6H12

Answer:

ΔG° = -533.64 kJ

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction.

Hg₂Cl₂(s) ⇄ Hg₂²⁺(aq) + 2 Cl⁻(aq)

The standard Gibbs free energy (ΔG°) can be calculated using the following expression:

ΔG° = ∑np × ΔG°f(products) - ∑nr × ΔG°f(reactants)

where,

ni are the moles of reactants and products

ΔG°f(i) are the standard Gibbs free energies of formation of reactants and products

ΔG° = 1 mol × ΔG°f(Hg₂²⁺) + 2 mol × ΔG°f(Cl⁻) - 1 mol × ΔG°f(Hg₂Cl₂)

ΔG° = 1 mol × 148.85 kJ/mol + 2 mol × (-182.43 kJ/mol) - 1 mol × (-317.63 kJ/mol)

ΔG° = -533.64 kJ

According to Le Châtelier's principle, what happens if heat is added to a system? apex

anzhelika [568]

Explanation:

Le Chatelier's principle states that for a long period of time if a system is at equilibrium and it is subjected to change in concentration, temperature, volume or pressure then the system shifts to a new equilibrium.

This change will partly counter acts the applied change.

Therefore, when heat is added to the system then equilibrium will shift to the side where temperature or heat is reduced again.

For example, $A + 2B \leftrightharpoons C + D$
