- Endothermic reaction means the reactant side takes heat from surrounding and get decomposed i.e ∆H=-ve
- If the equation is exothermic then it means the reactant is happy to decompose .But it's not as it's endothermic
Now
- HgO is Omitted from our solution option.
Hg is a atom so no bonds hence no bond strength occurs.
- O_2 is a molecule and so it's our answer .
Empirical formula is calculated as follows
calculate the moles of each element, that is % composition/ molar mass
molar masses ( Si= 28.09g/mol , Cl= 35.5 g/mol, I=126.9 g/mol)
moles of silicon = 7.962/28.09g/mol= 0.283 moles
moles of chlorine = 20.10 / 35.5g/mol = 0.566 moles
moles of iodine= 71.94 / 126.9 g/mol= 0.567 moles
divide each mole with smallest mole (0.283)
that is silicon = 0.283/0.283= 1 mole
chlorine = 0.566/0.283= 2 mole
Iodine= o.567/0.283= 2 moles
empirical formula is therefore= SiCl2I2
The drawing is correct because there are 12 atoms of each type on each side of the arrow.
