Find the empirical formula of the following compounds:

Aneli [31]

The empirical formula of the following compounds 0.903 g of phosphorus combined with 6.99 g of bromine.

<h3>What is empirical formula?</h3>

The simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound is the empirical formula of a chemical compound in chemistry. Sulfur monoxide's empirical formula, SO, and disulfur dioxide's empirical formula, S2O2, are two straightforward examples of this idea. As a result, both the sulfur and oxygen compounds sulfur monoxide and disulfur dioxide have the same empirical formula.

<h3>How to find the empirical formula?</h3>

Convert the given masses of phosphorus and bromine into moles by multiplying the reciprocal of their molar masses. The molar masses of phosphorus and bromine are 30.97 and 79.90 g/mol, respectively.

Moles phosphorus = 0.903 g phosphorus $\frac{mol phosphorus}{ 30.97 g phosphorus}$ = 0.0293 mol

Moles bromine 6.99 g bromine $\frac{mol bromine}{79.90 g bromine}$ =0.0875 mol

The preliminary formula for compound is P0.0293Bro.0875. Divide all the subscripts by the subscript with the smallest value which is 0.0293. The empirical formula is P1.00Br2.99 ≈ P₁Br3 or PBr3

From the list below, choose which groups are part of the periodic table. metals acids flammable gases nonmetals semimetals ores

iris [78.8K]

The periodic table of the elements are describe the electronic configuration of the elements on which the properties of the elements depends. Among the given groups only metal, non-metal and semi-metal group are the part of periodic table. The metallic property depends upon the binding energy of the electrons with the nucleus. Thus the elements which have the valence electrons more near to the nucleus that is s-block elements are more metallic in nature. On the other hand the elements which have the valence electrons far from the nucleus are more non-metallic in nature like p-block elements. However the binding energy or the attraction of the outermost electrons to the nucleus depends not only its valence electrons position but also some other factors like shielding effect, effective nuclear charge etc.

The elements which are in between the metals and non-metals can be classified as semi-metals.

Although the conductivity of a material is an inherent property of the metals but sometime the nonmetals or semi-metals are also behave like a conductor due to presence of the other elements, thus it cannot be a p[property of the periodic table. Similarly acidity, flammable gases are not part of the periodic table.

What is the mass of the solid NH4Cl formed when 75.5 g of NH3 is mixed with an equal mass of HCl? What is the volume of the gas

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer : The volume of the gas remaining is 56.5 liters.

The gas is hydrochloric acid and the formula of the gas is HCl.

The mass of $NH_4Cl$ produced is, 110.7 grams.

Explanation :

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

$NH_3+HCl\rightarrow NH_4Cl$

First we have to calculate the moles of $NH_3$ and HCl

$\text{Moles of }NH_3=\frac{\text{Mass of }NH_3}{\text{Molar mass of }NH_3}$

Molar mass of NH_3 = 17 g/mole

$\text{Moles of }NH_3=\frac{75.5g}{17g/mole}=4.44mole$

and,

$\text{Moles of }HCl=\frac{\text{Mass of }HCl}{\text{Molar mass of }HCl}$

Molar mass of HCl = 36.5 g/mole

$\text{Moles of }HCl=\frac{75.5g}{36.5g/mole}=2.07mole$

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 1 mole of HCl react with 1 mole of $NH_3$

So, 2.07 mole of HCl react with 2.07 mole of $NH_3$

From this we conclude that, $NH_3$ is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and HCl is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

The remaining moles of HCl gas = 4.44 - 2.07 = 2.37 moles

Now we have to calculate the volume of the gas remaining.

Using ideal gas equation :

PV = nRT

where,

P = Pressure of gas = 752 mmHg = 0.989 atm (1 atm = 760 mmHg)

V = Volume of gas = ?

n = number of moles of gas = 2.37 moles

R = Gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

T = Temperature of gas = $14.0^oC=273+14.0=287K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.989atm\times V=2.37mole\times (0.0821L.atm/mol.K)\times 287K$

V = 56.5 L

Now we have to calculate the moles of $NH_4Cl$

As, 1 mole of HCl react with 1 mole of $NH_4Cl$

So, 2.07 mole of HCl react with 2.07 mole of $NH_4Cl$

Now we have to calculate the mass of $NH_4Cl$

$\text{ Mass of }NH_4Cl=\text{ Moles of }NH_4Cl\times \text{ Molar mass of }NH_4Cl$

Molar mass of $NH_4Cl$ = 53.5 g/mole

$\text{ Mass of }NH_4Cl=(2.07moles)\times (53.5g/mole)=110.7g$

Thus, the volume of the gas remaining is 56.5 liters.

The gas is hydrochloric acid and the formula of the gas is HCl.

The mass of $NH_4Cl$ produced is, 110.7 grams.
