Answer:

4

Explanation:

Avogadro’s number represent the number of the constituent particles which are present in one mole of the substance. It is named after scientist Amedeo Avogadro and is denoted by N_0.

Also, it is the number of particles in exactly 12.000 g of isotope carbon 12.

Avogadro constant:-

N_a=6.023\times 10^{23}

Hence,

Mass of XeF_n = 131.293+ n18.998 g

So,

6.023\times 10^{23}  molecules have a mass of 131.293+ n18.998 g

Also,

1  molecules have a mass of \frac{(131.293+ n18.998)}{6.023\times 10^{23}} g

So,

5.0\times 10^{20}  molecules have a mass of \frac{(131.293+ n18.998)}{6.023\times 10^{23}}\times 5.0\times 10^{20} g

Also, given mass = 0.172 g

Thus,

\frac{(131.293+ n18.998)}{6.023\times 10^{23}}\times 5.0\times 10^{20}=0.172

\frac{18.998n+131.293}{1204.6}=0.172

18.998n+131.293=207.1912

n=\frac{75.8982}{18.998}=4

<u>Thus, value of n is 4.</u>

A sample of gallium Bromide GaBr2,weighing 0.165 g was dissolved in water and treated with silver nitrate AgNO3, and resulting t
tresset_1 [31]

<u>Answer:</u> The percent gallium in gallium bromide is 30.30 %.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}     .....(1)

Given mass of gallium bromide = 0.165 g

Molar mass of titanium gallium bromide = 229.53 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of gallium bromide}=\frac{0.165g}{229.53g/mol}=0.00072mol

  • The chemical equation for the reaction of gallium bromide and silver nitrate follows:

GaBr_2+2AgNO_3\rightarrow 2AgBr(s)+Ga(NO_3)_2

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 moles of gallium bromide produces 1 mole of gallium nitrate

So, 0.00072 moles of gallium bromide will produce = \frac{1}{1}\times 0.00072=0.00072moles of gallium nitrate

  • Now, calculating the mass of gallium nitrate from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of gallium nitrate = 193.73 g/mol

Moles of gallium nitrate = 0.00072 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.00072mol=\frac{\text{Mass of gallium nitrate}}{193.73g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of gallium nitrate}=0.139g

Calculating the mass of gallium in the reaction, we use unitary method:

In 1 mole of gallium nitrate, 1 mole of gallium atom is present.

In 193.73 grams of gallium nitrate, 69.72 g of gallium atom is present.

So, in 0.139 grams of gallium nitrate, the mass of gallium present will be = \frac{69.72}{193.73}\times 0.139=g

  • To calculate the percentage composition of gallium in gallium bromide, we use the equation:

\%\text{ composition of gallium}=\frac{\text{Mass of gallium}}{\text{Mass of gallium bromide}}\times 100

Mass of gallium bromide = 0.165 g

Mass of gallium = 0.050 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\%\text{ composition of gallium}=\frac{0.050g}{0.165g}\times 100=30.30\%

Hence, the percent gallium in gallium bromide is 30.30 %.

Arrange the following oxides in order of increasing acidity.
zmey [24]

Answer:

Based on the Modern Periodic table, there is an increase in the electropositivity of the atom down the group as well as increases across a period. On comparing the electropositivities of the mentioned oxides central atom, it is seen that Ca is most electropositive followed by Al, Si, C, P, and S is the least electropositive.  

With the decrease in the electropositivity, there is an increase in the acidity of the oxides. Thus, the increasing order of the oxides from the least acidic to the most acidic is:  

CaO > Al2O3 > SiO2 > CO2 > P2O5 > SO3. Hence, CaO is the least acidic and SO3 is the most acidic.

Consider the following reaction: 2 Bi(s) + 3 Cl2(g) → 2 BiCl3(s)
Mandarinka [93]

Taking into account the reaction stoichiometry, 1.119 grams of chlorine gas are required to produce 3.32 grams of bismuth chloride is produced.

<h3>Reaction stoichiometry</h3>

In first place, the balanced reaction is:

2 Bi + 3 Cl₂ → 2 BiCl₃

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

  • Bi: 2 moles
  • Cl₂: 3 moles
  • BiCl₃: 2 moles

The molar mass of the compounds is:

  • Bi: 209 g/mole
  • Cl₂: 70.90 g/mole
  • BiCl₃: 315.45 g/mole

Then, by reaction stoichiometry, the following mass quantities of each compound participate in the reaction:

Bi: 2 moles ×209 g/mole=418  g

Cl₂: 3 moles ×70.90 g/mole= 212.7 g

BiCl₃: 2 moles ×315.45 g/mole= 630.9 g

<h3>Mass of Cl₂ required</h3>

The following rule of three can be applied: If by reaction stoichiometry 630.9 grams of BiCl₃ are formed by 212.7 grams of Cl₂, 3.32 grams of BiCl₃ are formed by how much mass of Cl₂?

mass of Cl_{2} =\frac{3.32 grams of BiCl_{3}x212.7 grams of Cl_{2} }{630.9 grams of BiCl_{3}}

<u><em>mass of Cl₂= 1.119 grams</em></u>

Finally, 1.119 grams of chlorine gas are required to produce 3.32 grams of bismuth chloride is produced.
