An element, X, can form a chloride (XCl3) and an iodide (XI3). The chloride can be converted quantitatively into the iodide when

heated and exposed to excess iodine. If 0.760 grams of XCl3 are heated with iodine, 1.610 g of XI3 are produced. What is the chemical symbol for this element? Use stoichiometry to create an equation that allows you to solve for the molecular weight of X.2 XCl3 + 3 I2 ---------> 2 XI3 + 3 Cl2

Answer : The chemical symbol for this element is, (La)

Explanation : Given,

Mass of XCl_3 = 0.760 g

Mass of XI_3 = 1.610 g

The given chemical reaction is:

2XCl_3+3I_2\rightarrow 2XI_3+3Cl_2

First we have to calculate the moles of XCl_3 and XI_3.

\text{Moles of }XCl_3=\frac{\text{Mass of }XCl_3}{\text{Molar mass of }XCl_3}

Molar mass of Cl = 35.5 g/mole

Let the molar mass of element 'X' be, M

\text{Moles of }XCl_3=\frac{0.760}{[M+3(35.5)]}

and,

\text{Moles of }XI_3=\frac{\text{Mass of }XI_3}{\text{Molar mass of }XI_3}

Molar mass of I = 126.9 g/mole

Let the molar mass of element 'X' be, M

\text{Moles of }XI_3=\frac{1.610}{[M+3(126.9)]}

From the balanced chemical reaction we conclude that,

The moles of ratio of XCl_3 and XI_3 is, 1 : 1

That means,

\frac{0.760}{[M+3(35.5)]}=\frac{1.610}{[M+3(126.9)]}

\frac{0.760}{[M+106.5]}=\frac{1.610}{[M+380.7]}

M=138.667g/mol

From this we conclude that the element (X) is lanthanum (La) that has molecular weight, 138.667 g/mol.

Hence, the chemical symbol for this element is, (La)

No, x-rays do not travel slower than infrared radiation or even the opposite. Both are travelling in vacuum therefore they travel at same speed. They differ in the frequency of the electromagnetic waves.

Select the true statements regarding these resonance structures of formate.? Each carbon-oyxgen bond is somewhere between a sing
son4ous [18]

Answer : Option 1) The true statement is each carbon-oxygen bond is somewhere between a single and double bond and the actual structure of format is an average of the two resonance forms.

Explanation : The actual structure of formate is found to be a resonance hybrid of the two resonating forms. The actual structure for formate do not switches back and forth between two resonance forms.

The O atom in the formate molecule with one bond and three lone pairs, in the resonance form left with reference to the attached image, gets changed into O atom with two bonds and two lone pairs.

Again, the O atom with two bonds and two lone pairs on the resonance form left, changed into O atom with one bond and three lone pairs. It concludes that each carbon-oxygen bond is neither a single bond nor a double bond; each carbon-oxygen bond is somewhere between a single and double bond.

Also, it is seen that each oxygen atom does not have neither a double bond nor a single bond 50% of the time.

Fill in the missing information:
Neko [114]

Answer: 1. Complete Nuclear Symbol : _{22}^{48}{Ti^{4+}}

2. Atomic number : 22

3. Mass number : 48  

4. Charge : 4 +

Explanation:

Atomic number is equal to the number of protons.

Mass number is the sum of number of neelectrons. utrons and number of protons.

Given : no of protons = 22 , thus atomic number = 22

Mass number =  number of neutrons + number of protons

Mass number =  26 + 22 = 48

Also for a neutral atom , the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. But here electrons are 4 less than protons, which means the atom has lost 4 electrons and thus will have a charge of 4+.

The atomic number is specific to an element, and the element with atomic number 22 is Titanium (Ti). The representation is _{22}^{48}{Ti^{4+}}

In the spring of 1984, concern arose over the presence of ethylene dibromide, or EDB, in grains and cereals. EDB has the molecul
Lady bird [3.3K]

869.6 × 10¹⁴ molecules of EDB

Explanation:

We have 1.9 lb of flour with a EDB concentration of 31.5 ppb.

We need to transform lb in grams.

1 lb = 453.6 grams

1.9 lb = (1.9 × 453.6) / 1 = 861.8 grams

Now we determine the number of molecules of EDB in the sample by devise the following reasoning:

if we have        31.5 × 10⁻⁹ g of EDB in 1 g of sample

then we have   X  g of EDB in 861.8 g of sample

X = (31.5 × 10⁻⁹ × 861.8) / 1 = 27146.7 × 10⁻⁹ g of EDB

Molecular mass of EDB (C₂H₄Br₂) = 188 g/mole

Taking in account that 1 mole of any substance contains 6.022 × 10²³ (Avogadro’s number) molecules we devise the following reasoning:

if       188 g of EDB contains 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

then 27146.7 × 10⁻⁹ g of EDB contains Y molecules

Y = (27146.7 × 10⁻⁹ × 6.022 × 10²³) / 188 = 869.6 × 10¹⁴ molecules of EDB

List the procedural steps, from start to finish, that are required to convert 2‑naphthol and allyl bromide into allyl 2‑naphthyl
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
<h3>Procedural steps are: - </h3>
  1. On a small scale, the reaction is carried out by combining the alcohol, the haloalkane, and the phase transfer catalyst in a conical vial.
  2. To start the reaction, sodium hydoxide (base) is added.
  3. To prevent solvent evaporation, the reaction flask is covered and stirred during the reaction.
  4. TLC monitors the reaction's progress to ensure that no time is wasted.
  5. To remove any remaining water, the reaction solution is dried over calcium chloride.
  6. Column chromatography is used to purify the product, and evaporation is used to collect it.
<h3>What is Catalysis?</h3>

Catalysis is the process of boosting the pace of a chemical reaction by using a catalyst. Catalysts are not consumed in the reaction and so survive it.
