Two sample of carbon tetrachloride are decomposed into their constituent elements. One sample produces 32.4 g of carbon and 373

g of chlorine, and the other sample produces 12.3 g of carbon and 112 g of chlorine. Are these results consistent with the law of constant composition?

Answer:

These results are not consistent with the law of constant composition.

Explanation:

Law of constant composition states that a given chemical compound always contains its component elements in fixed ratio (by mass) and does not depend on its source and method of preparation.

Following this definition, for carbon tetrachloride (CCl₄), the ratio of its component elements by mass is:

<em>Mass of Cl / Mass of C</em>

In the first sample, mass of Cl is 373g and mass of C is 32,4. The ratio is:

373g/32,4g = <u><em>11,5</em></u>

In the second sample, mass of Cl is 112g and mass of C is 12,3. The ratio is:

112g/12,3 = <u><em>9,11</em></u>

As the ratio of its component elements is not fixed, it is possible to say that <em>these results are not consistent with the law of constant composition.</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!

What mass of aluminum is needed to produce 0.500 mole of aluminum chloride?
3241004551 [841]

Answer:  " 13.5 g Al " ;

                    →  that is:  "13.5 grams of aluminum."

<u>____________________________</u>

Explanation:

<u>____________________________</u>

<u>Note</u>: What is missing from the question is the "balanced chemical equation" for the "chemical reaction" that contains:

 The reactants:  "aluminum (Al) " ;  and "chlorine (Cl) " ;  and:

 The product:    "aluminum choloride (AlCl₃) " .

____________________________

The "balanced chemical equation" is:

____________________________

        2 Al   +   3 Cl₂   →   2 AlCl₃   ;

_____________________________

<u>Note</u>: The molecular weight of "aluminum (Al)" is:   " 26.98 g /mol " .

____________________________

So:  We call solve using a technique known as:  "dimensional analysis" :

____________________________

  0.500 mol AlCl₃ * (\frac{2mol Al}{2mol AlCl_{3} }) * (\frac{26.98g Al}{1 mol Al}) = ?

____________________________

<u>Note</u>:  The units of "mol AlCl₃" cancel out to "1' ; and:

          The  units of "mol Al" cancel out to "1" ; and we are left with:

____________________________

 " \frac{(0.500 * 2 * 26.98)}{2}   g Al ["grams of aluminum"] ;

____________________________

<u>Note</u>: We can "cancel out the "2's" ; since "2/2 = 1 " ; and we have:

 →  (0.500 * 26.98) g Al ;

    = 13.49 g Al ;

         →  Round to 3 (Three) significant figures;

         →  Since:  "0.500" has 3 (Three) significant figures:

____________________________

   =  13.5 g Al ; that is:  "13.5 grams of aluminum."

____________________________

 Hope this is helpful!  

      Best wishes to you in your academic pursuits—and within the "Brainly" community!

NH3 is a weak alkali that does not dissociate fully into its solution. Which of the following is true about NH3?
ad-work [718]
<h2>NH3 is a weak alkali that does not dissociate fully into its solution. Which of the following is true about NH3? </h2><h2> </h2><h2>A. It has a very low pH. </h2><h2>B. It's dissociation is a reversible reaction. </h2><h2>C. It has a high H+ concentration. </h2><h2>D. It will release all of its OH- ions.</h2>

Explanation:

<h3>NH3 is a weak alkali that does not dissociate fully into its solution: It's dissociation is a reversible reaction. </h3><h3></h3>

Reactions are also :

  • Reversible
  • Irreversible

Reversible reaction

A reaction in which products can combine back to give reactants under same given condition .

Example : N₂+H₂-------NH₃

Irreversible reaction

A reaction in which the products cant combine back to give reactants under same set of conditions .

Example : Burning of paper
