If a certain compound has a formula XCl₃ what is the valency of X?

Chemistry

asambeis [7]3 years ago

The general form of a compound can be written in the form of:

[X(a) Y(b)] ^ c

Where a and b are subscripts, and c is the superscript of the whole formula.

The relationship that we can derived here between the constants is:

(valence of X) * a + (valence of Y) * b = c

Since the formula obviously has no superscript, therefore c = 0. We also know in chemistry class that the valence of Cl is -1, therefore:

valence of X * 1 + (-1) * 3 = 0

valence of X - 3 = 0

<span>valence of X = 3</span>

Give the mathematical relationship for an unsaturated solution in comparing Q with K sp:__________.
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

Q < Ksp

Explanation:

The general equilibrium of a constant product solubility, ksp, is:

AB ⇄ A⁺ + B⁻

<em>Where Ksp is defined as:</em>

Ksp = [A⁺] [B⁻]

When [A⁺] [B⁻] = Ksp, the solution is saturated or oversaturated because there are the maximum amount of ions that solution can dissolve.

When the solution is oversaturated, AB is produced.

Now, in a unsaturated solution, the [A⁺] [B⁻] is less than the maximum amount that can be dissolved. That means:

[A⁺] [B⁻] = Q < Ksp

Q is defined in the same way than Ksp, just in Q the system is not in equilibrium.

Right answer is:

<h3>Q < Ksp</h3>

Describe how you can figure out how many grams of a COMPOUND if you know how many moles there
____ [38]
Divide the mass of the compound in grams by the molar mass you just calculated. The answer is the number of moles of that mass of compound. For example, 25 grams of water equals 25/18.016 or 1.39 moles.
