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

Chemistry
1 answer:
asambeis [7]3 years ago
6 0

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>

Choose all that apply. Solids, liquids, and gases can be distinguished by their:molecular weight shape temperature kinetic energ
vesna_86 [32]
So, we have:
- molecular weight
- shape
- temperature
- kinetic energy
- mass
- density

Let's rule out the different options.
- molecular weight: Say you have a molecule of H2O. H2O can be a solid, liquid, or gas, but its molecular weight never changes throughout (It's still the same molecule, no matter what phase it is in). We can rule this out.

- shape: Let's pretend we have three identical closed containers, and we fill each one halfway with water, blocks of ice cubes, and water vapor. In the container with water, you will see that the water takes the shape of the container, but doesn't fill the entire container up. The ice cubes will stay ice cubes, assuming they don't melt, so they don't take the shape of the container. The vapor will fill up the entire container. Since all three are different, I would say yes, this could be a distinguishable feature.

- temperature: In general, I would say no, because every element/molecule has different boiling points and different vaporization points. So if you have a liquid at 5°C, you could also have a different element in solid form at 5°C. But if you're comparing a single type of molecule, it would have a boiling point and a vaporization point, so you <em>would</em> be able to tell between them.

- kinetic energy: Kinetic energy refers to how much movement there is in respect to each molecule. In solids, the molecules are packed tightly together and can't move very much, so they have lower kinetic energy. In liquids, they are less packed, but still restricted. And in gases, they can fly freely, so they will have much more kinetic energy than liquids or solids. This one's a yes.

- mass: No matter what form, there are still the same amount of molecules, and each molecule has the same mass as before. It won't change.

- density: Since the molecules are more spread out in gases, it will be less dense. Liquids will be more dense, and solids will have the greatest density. So, yes.

Conclusion: shape, kinetic energy, density, (and temperature if it's talking about a single type of molecule)

What is the mass of oxygen in 300 grams of carbonic acid (H2CO3)
DENIUS [597]

mass of carbonic acid = 300g

molar mass of H2CO3 = 2H + C + 3 O

= 2 x 1.008+ 12.01 + 3 x  16

= 62.03g/mol


moles of H2CO3 = mass/Molar mass

= 300/62.03

= 4.8364 moles


1 mole H2CO3 has 3 moles Oxygen


4.8364 moles H2CO3 contains  

=   3 x 4.8364  moles Oxygen  =   14.509 moles Oxygen


moles = mass/Molar mass


mass of oxygen = moles x Molar mass of Oxygen

= 14.509 x 16

= 232.15g Oxygen

mass of oxygen in 300g of carbonic acid(H2CO3) = 232.15g

4.A 100 L sample of gas is at a pressure of 80 kPa and a temperature of 200 K. What volume does the same
dexar [7]

Answer:

V₂ = 107.84 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 100 L

Initial pressure = 80 KPa (80/101 =0.79 atm)

Initial temperature = 200 K

Final temperature =273 K

Final volume = ?

Final pressure = 1 atm

Formula:  

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂  

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

P₂ = Final pressure

V₂ = Final volume

T₂ = Final temperature

Solution:

V₂ = P₁V₁T₂  /T₁P₂

V₂ = 0.79 atm × 100 L × 273 K / 200 K × 1 atm

V₂ =21567 atm.L.K /200 K.atm

V₂ = 107.84 L
