How does a molecular formula differ from a structural formula?

Chemistry
1 answer:
mr Goodwill [35]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

Molecular formulas show correct and accurate number of each type of the atoms which are present in molecule.

On the other hand, structural formulas show arrangement of atoms and covalent bonds between them.

For example,

The molecular formula for carbon dioxide is CO_2

The structural formula is O = C = O

Which of the following is the correctly balanced chemical equation for the reaction of Ca(OH)2 and HNO3?
sattari [20]

Explanation:

The reaction between calcium hydroxide and nitric acid is as follows.

  Ca(OH)_{2} + HNO_{3} \rightarrow Ca(NO_{3})_{2} + H_{2}O

Number of reactant atoms are as follows.

  • Ca = 1
  • O = 4
  • H = 3
  • N = 1

Number of product atoms are as follows.

  • Ca = 1
  • O = 4
  • H = 2
  • N = 3

To balance the given chemical equation, multiply HNO_{3} by 2 on reactant side and multiply H_{2}O by 2 on the product side.

Therefore, the balanced chemical equation will be as follows.

    Ca(OH)_{2} + 2HNO_{3} \rightarrow Ca(NO_{3})_{2} + 2H_{2}O

There are many minerals which contain silver. A 2.00 g sample of one of these, stephanite, is placed in water and all of its sil
Nata [24]

Answer:

68.3%

Explanation:

First, let us look at the equation of reaction involving silver and magnesium chloride:

2Ag + MgCl2 ----> 2AgCl + Mg

1 mole of MgCl2 is required to precipitate 2 moles of Ag completely from the solution. That is a ratio of 1 to 2.

Now, mole of MgCl2 used to precipitate all the Ag

             = molarity x volume

                      = 2.19 M x 2.89/1000

                         = 0.0063291 mole

Since 1 mole of MgCl2 would always require 2 moles of Ag, 0.0063291 mole will therefore require:

      0.0063291 x 2 = 0.0126 mole of Ag

This means that 0.0126 mole of Ag is present in stephanie.

Mass of silver in stephanie = mole x molar mass

                              = 0.0126 x 107.8682

                                      = 1.365 g

Thus, 1.365 g of silver is present in 2.00 g sample of stephanie.

Mass percent of silver in stephanie = 1.365/2.00 x 100

                                         = 68.25% = 68.3% to the correct number of significant figure.

Write word equation followed by chemical equation for the following reactions:a) iron with copper (ll) sulphate b) copper with s
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Iron + copper(II) sulphate → iron sulphate + copper

Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq) → FeSO4(aq) + Cu(s)

copper + silver nitrate → copper nitrate + silver

Cu (s) + 2AgNO3 (aq) → Cu(NO3)2 (aq) + 2Ag (s)

What is the number of moles of Sodium Chloride (NaCl) that is present in 29.22g sample of it?
Liula [17]
There are 0.5 moles of NaCl present in a 29.22g sample.

to find moles of a compound you would look at the periodic table to find the mass. in this case, the mass of NaCl is 58.44 g/mol. now, you divide the sample mass of 29.22g by 58.44 g/mol. the grams will cancel each other out and you’re left with 0.5 mol in that sample

hope this helps!
