Analysis of a gaseous chlorofluorocarbon, CClxFy, shows that it contains 11.79% C and 69.57% Cl. In another experiment, you find

that 0.107 g of the compound fills a 458-mL flask at 25 °C with a pressure of 21.3 mm Hg. What is the molecular formula of the compound?

Answer:

The molecular formula = $C_2Cl_{4}F_2$

Explanation:

$Moles =\frac {Given\ mass}{Molar\ mass}$

% of C = 11.79

Molar mass of C = 12.0107 g/mol

<u>% moles of C = 11.79 / 12.0107 = 0.9816</u>

% of Cl = 69.57

Molar mass of Cl = 35.453 g/mol

<u>% moles of Cl = 69.57 / 35.453 = 1.9623</u>

Given that the gaseous chlorofluorocarbon only contains chlorine, flourine and carbon. So,

% of F = 100% - % of C - % of C = 100 - 11.79 - 69.57 = 18.64

Molar mass of F = 18.998 g/mol

<u>% moles of F = 18.64 / 18.998 = 0.9812</u>

Taking the simplest ratio for C, Cl and F as:

0.9816 : 1.9623 : 0.9812

= 1 : 2 : 1

The empirical formula is = $CCl_2F$

Also, Given that:

Pressure = 21.3 mm Hg

Also, P (mm Hg) = P (atm) / 760

Pressure = 21.3 / 760 = 0.02803 atm

Temperature = 25 °C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15

So,

T = (25 + 273.15) K = 298.15 K

Volume = 458 mL = 0.458 L (1 mL = 0.001 L)

Using ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

where,

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

Applying the equation as:

0.02803 atm × 0.458 L = n × 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol × 298.15 K

⇒n = 0.00052445 moles

Given that :

Amount = 0.107 g

Molar mass = ?

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$0.00052445= \frac{0.107\ g}{Molar\ mass}$

$Molar\ mass= 204.0233\ g/mol$

Molecular formulas is the actual number of atoms of each element in the compound while empirical formulas is the simplest or reduced ratio of the elements in the compound.

Thus,

Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass

Where, n is any positive number from 1, 2, 3...

Mass from the Empirical formula = 1×12.0107 + 2×35.453 + 1×18.998 = 101.9147 g/mol

Molar mass = 204.0233 g/mol

So,

Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass

204.0233 = n × 101.9147

⇒ n = 2

<u>The molecular formula = $C_2Cl_{4}F_2$ </u>

The coordination compound Co3[Cr(CN)6]2 contains Co2+ cations and a complex anion. What is the likely oxidation state for Cr in

otez555 [7]

Answer:

-3

Explanation:

The oxidation state or oxidation number of an atom is the total number of electrons that an atom either gains or loses in order to form a chemical bond with another atom.

The complex anion here is [Cr(CN)6]3-.

Now, as the oxidation state of CN or cyanide ligand is -1, and if we suppose the oxidation state of Cr to be 'x', then; x - 6 = -3 (overall charge on the anion),

so x= +3. Hence the oxidation state of Chromium in this complex hexacyanochromium (III) anion comes out to be -3.

Given the following balanced equation, if the rate of O2 loss is 3.64 × 10-3 M/s, what is the rate of formation of SO3? 2 SO2(g)

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Rate of formation of SO₃ $[\frac{d[SO_{3}] }{dt}]$ = 7.28 x 10⁻³ M/s

Explanation:

According to equation 2 SO₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2 SO₃(g)

Rate of disappearance of reactants = rate of appearance of products

⇒ $-\frac{1}{2} \frac{d[SO_{2} ]}{dt} = -\frac{d[O_{2} ]}{dt}=\frac{1}{2} \frac{d[SO_{3} ]}{dt}$ -----------------------------(1)

Given that the rate of disappearance of oxygen = $-\frac{d[O_{2} ]}{dt}$ = 3.64 x 10⁻³ M/s

So the rate of formation of SO₃ $[\frac{d[SO_{3}] }{dt}]$ = ?

from equation (1) we can write

$\frac{d[SO_{3}] }{dt} = 2 [-\frac{d[O_{2}] }{dt} ]$

⇒ $\frac{d[SO_{3}] }{dt}$ = 2 x 3.64 x 10⁻³ M/s

⇒ $[\frac{d[SO_{3}] }{dt}]$ = 7.28 x 10⁻³ M/s

∴ So the rate of formation of SO₃ $[\frac{d[SO_{3}] }{dt}]$ = 7.28 x 10⁻³ M/s

The rate constant k for a certain reaction is measured at two different temperatures temperature 376.0 °c 4.8 x 108 280.0 °C 2.3

9966 [12]

Answer:

The activation energy for this reaction = 23 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

Using the expression,

$\ln \dfrac{k_{1}}{k_{2}} =-\dfrac{E_{a}}{R} \left (\dfrac{1}{T_1}-\dfrac{1}{T_2} \right )$

Where,

$k_1\ is\ the\ rate\ constant\ at\ T_1$

$k_2\ is\ the\ rate\ constant\ at\ T_2$

$E_a$ is the activation energy

R is Gas constant having value = 8.314×10⁻³ kJ / K mol

$k_2=2.3\times 10^8$

$T_2=280\ ^0C$

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15

So,

T = (280 + 273.15) K = 553.15 K

$T_2=553.15\ K$

$k_1=4.8\times 10^8$

$T_1=376\ ^0C$

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15

So,

T = (376 + 273.15) K = 649.15 K

$T_1=649.15\ K$

So,

$\left(\ln \left(\:\frac{4.8\times \:\:\:10^8}{2.3\times \:\:\:10^8}\right)\right)\:=-\frac{E_a}{8.314\times \:10^{-3}\ kJ/mol.K}\times \:\left(\frac{1}{649.15\ K}-\frac{1}{553.15\ K}\right)$

$E_a=-\frac{10^{-3}\times \:8.314\ln \left(\frac{10^8\times \:4.8}{10^8\times \:2.3}\right)}{-\frac{96}{359077.3225}}\ kJ/mol$

$E_a=-\frac{\frac{8.314\ln \left(\frac{4.8}{2.3}\right)}{1000}}{-\frac{96}{359077.3225}}\ kJ/mol$

$E_a=22.87\ kJ/mol$

<u>The activation energy for this reaction = 23 kJ/mol.</u>

What mass of cu(s)cu(s) is electroplated by running 14. 5 aa of current through a cu2 (aq)cu2 (aq) solution for 4. 00 hh?

galina1969 [7]

The mass of Copper electroplated is 68.76 g

<h3>What is electroplating?</h3>

The process of plating a metal onto another is known as electroplating.

It is often used to prevent corrosion of metal or for the decorative purposes

In this process, electric current is passed through an aqueous solution containing dissolved cations.

The dissolved cations are reduced developing a thin metal coating on the electrode.

At cathode,

$Cu^{2+}(aq) + 2e^-\rightarrow Cu(s)$

Current, I = 14.5 A

Time, t = 4 hrs = 4×60×60 = 14400 sec

Charge, q = It = 14.5×14400= 208800 C

Copper metal deposited by 2×96487 C = 63.55 g

Copper metal deposited by 208800 C = $\frac{63.55 \times208800}{2\times96487}$

= 68.76g

Hence, The mass of Copper electroplated is 68.76 g
