A sample of bismuth weighing 0.687 g was converted to bismuth chloride by reacting it first with HNO3, and then with HCI, follow

ed by careful evaporation to dryness. The mass of the bismuth chloride obtained was 1.032 g. (a) What is the empirical formula of bismuth chloride?
(b) What is the theoretical percent of Bi in the bismuth chloride, based on this formula?

Answer:

The empirical formula is BiCl3

% Bi = 66.27 %

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of bismuth = 0.687 grams

Mass of bismuth chloride produced = 1.032 grams

Molar mass of bismuth = 208.98 g/mol

Molar mass of bismuth chloride = 315.33 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

Step 3: Calculate moles of Bi

Moles Bi = mass Bi / molar mass Bi

Moles Bi = 0.687 grams / 208.98 g/mol

Moles Bi =  0.00329 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of Cl

Mass of Cl = 1.032 - 0.687  = 0.345 moles

Moles Cl = 0.345 moles / 35.45 g/mol

Moles Cl = 0.00973 moles Cl

Step 5: Calculate mol ratio

We divide by the smaller number of moles:

Bi: 0.00329 / 0.00329 = 1

Cl: 0.0097The empirical formula is BiCl33/0.00329 = 3

Step 6: Calculate molar mass of BiCl3

Molar mass = 208.98 + 3*35.45 = 315.33 g/mol

Step 7: Calculate percent of Bi

% Bi = (208.98 / 315.33) * 100%

% Bi = 66.27 %

Consider the following reaction at 25 °C: 4Fe(s) + 3O2(g) ⇌ 2Fe2O3(s) An equilibrium mixture contains 1.0 mol Fe, 1.0 × 10–3 mol
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Kc = Kc = 8.0 * 10^9

Kp = 5.5 *10^5

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Temperature = 25.0 °C

Number of moles Fe = 1.0 moles

Number of moles O2 = 1.0 * 10^-3 moles

Number of moles Fe2O3 = 2.0 moles

Volume = 2.0 L

Step 2: The balanced equation

4Fe(s) + 3O2(g) ⇌ 2Fe2O3(s)

Step 3: Calculate molarity

Molarity = moles / volume

[Fe] = 1.0 moles / 2.0 L

[Fe] = 0.5 M

[O2] = 0.001 moles / 2.0 L

[O2] = 0.0005 M

[Fe2O3] = 2.0 moles / 2.0 L

[Fe2O3] = 1.0 M

Step 4: Calculate Kc

Kc =1/ [O2]³

Kc = 1/0,.000000000125

Kc = 8.0 * 10^9

Step 5: Calculate Kp

Kp = Kc*(R*T)^Δn

⇒with Kc = 8.0*10^9

⇒with R = 0.08206 L*atm /mol*K

⇒with T = 298 K

⇒with Δn = -3

Kp = 8.10^9 *(0.08206 * 298)^-3

Kp = 5.5 *10^5

Explain how to use the periodic table to deduce the number of protons, neutrons and electrons of an atom of a specific element
Ksju [112]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The periodic table shows the atomic number and mass number of each element.

We know that the atomic number shows;

  1. The number of protons in the nucleus of the atom
  2. The number of electrons in the neutral atom of the element.

So we obtain the number of protons and electrons by looking at the atomic number shown in the periodic table.

We also know that;

Mass number = Number of protons + number of neutrons

Since number of protons = atomic number of the atom

Number of neutrons = Mass number - atomic number

Hence we obtain the number of protons by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number given in the periodic table.

The compound IF5 contains Question 16 options: polar covalent bonds with partial negative charges on the F atoms. ionic bonds. p
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The molecule IF5 possesses five I-F polar bonds. However, the presence of polar bonds does not automatically imply that the molecule will be polar.

The geometry of the molecule is very important in determining the polarity of a compound. Since IF5 has a lone pair of electrons, the molecule is bent and as such there is a permanent dipole moment created in the molecule thereby making IF5 polar in nature.
