Answer:

Na3X  (Option Dis correct)

Explanation:

Ba + X → Ba3(X)2

Barium has an oxidation number of +2 = Ba^2+

Barium will form the compound Ba3(X)2 when it reacts with X

Ba3(X)2 = 3Ba^2+ + 2X^3-

X should be an element with oxidation number -3

When sodium will bind with X the following reaction will happen:

3Na+ + X^3- = Na3X

Since sodium has only 1 valence electron, we need 3 sodium atoms to bind 1 X atom.

Option D Na3X is correct

Answer:

D. Na₃X

Explanation:

We have the neutral compound Ba₃(X)₂. <em>The total charge (zero) is equal to the sum of the charges of the ions times the number of ions in the molecule</em>.

3 × qBa + 2 × qX = 0

3 × (+2) + 2 × qX = 0

2 × qX = -6

qX = -3

If we have the cation Na⁺ and X³⁻, a neutral molecule would require 3 Na⁺ and 1 X³⁻. The resulting compound is Na₃X.

A compound contains 6.0 g of carbon and 1.0 g of hydrogen and has a molar mass of 42.0 g/mol.
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

%C = 85.71 wt%; %H = 14.29 wt%; Empirical Formula => CH₂; Molecular Formula => C₃H₆

Explanation:

%Composition

Wt C = 6 g

Wt H = 1 g

TTL Wt = 6g + 1g = 7g

%C per 100wt = (6/7)100% = 85.71 wt%

%H per 100wt = (1/7)100% = 14.29 wt % or, %H = 100% - %C = 100% - 85.71% = 14.29 wt% H

What you should know when working empirical formula and molecular formula problems.

Empirical Formula=> <u>smallest</u> whole number ratio of elements in a compound

Molecular Formula => <u>actual</u> whole number ratio of elements in a compound

Empirical Formula Weight x Whole Number Multiple = Molecular Weight

From elemental %composition values given (or, determined as above), the empirical formula type problem follows a very repeatable pattern. This is ...

% => grams => moles => ratio => reduce ratio => empirical ratio

for determination of molecular formula one uses the empirical weight - molecular weight relationship above to determine the whole number multiple for the molecular ratios.

Caution => In some 'textbook' empirical formula problems, the empirical ratio may contain a fraction in the amount of 0.25, 0.50 or 0.75. If such an issue arises, multiply all empirical ratio numbers containing 0.25 and/or 0.75 by '4'  to get the empirical ratio and multiply all empirical ration numbers containing 0.50 by '2' to get the final empirical ratio.

This problem:

Empirical Formula:

Using the % per 100wt values in part 'a' ...

              %     =>         grams                 =>                 moles

%C => 85.71% => 85.71 g* / 100 g Cpd => (85.71 / 12) = 7.14 mol C

%H => 14.29% => 14.29 g / 100 g Cpd => (14.29 / 1) = 14.29 mol H

=> Set up mole Ratio and Reduce to Empirical Ratio:

mole ratio C:H =>  7.14 : 14.29

<u>To reduce mole values to the smallest whole number ratio,  divide all mole values by the smaller mole value of the set.</u>

=> 7.14/7.14 : 14.29/7.14 => Empirical Ration=> 1 : 2

∴ Empirical Formula => CH₂

Molecular Formula:

(Empirical Formula Wt)·N = Molecular Wt => N = Molecular Wt / Empirical Wt

N = 42 / 14 = 3 => multiply subscripts of empirical formula by '3'.

Therefore, the molecular formula is C₃H₆

A location along stream where most erosions occur
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

At a stream's headwaters, often high in the mountains, gradients are steep. The stream moves fast and does lots of work eroding the stream bed.As a stream moves into lower areas, the gradient is not as steep. Now the stream does more work eroding the edges of its banks.

hope that helps bby<3

When a student mixes 50 mL of 1.0 M HCl and 50 mL of 1.0 M NaOH in a coffee-cup calorimeter, the temperature of the resultant so
zmey [24]

Answer: 54.4 kJ/mol

Explanation:

First we have to calculate the moles of HCl and NaOH.

\text{Moles of HCl}=\text{Concentration of HCl}\times \text{Volume of solution}=1.0M\times 0.05=0.05mole

\text{Moles of NaOH}=\text{Concentration of NaOH}\times \text{Volume of solution}=1.0\times 0.05L=0.05mole

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

HCl+NaOH\rightarrow NaCl+H_2O

From the balanced reaction we conclude that,

As, 1 mole of HCl neutralizes by 1 mole of NaOH

So, 0.05 mole of HCl neutralizes by 0.05 mole of NaOH

Thus, the number of neutralized moles = 0.05 mole

Now we have to calculate the mass of water:

As we know that the density of water is 1 g/ml. So, the mass of water will be:

The volume of water = 50ml+50ml=100ml

\text{Mass of water}=\text{Density of water}\times \text{Volume of water}=1g/ml\times 100ml=100g

Now we have to calculate the heat absorbed during the reaction.

q=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})

where,

q = heat absorbed = ?

c = specific heat of water = 4.18J/g^oC

m = mass of water = 100 g

T_{final} = final temperature of water = 27.5^0C

T_{initial} = initial temperature of metal = 21.0^0C

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

q=100g\times 4.18J/g^oC\times (27.5-21.0)^0C

q=2719.6J=2.72kJ

Thus, the heat released during the neutralization = 2.72 KJ

Now we have to calculate the enthalpy of neutralization per mole of HCl:

0.05 moles of HCl releases heat = 2.72 KJ

1 mole of HCl releases heat =\frac{2.72}{0.05}\times 1=54.4KJ

Thus the enthalpy change for the reaction in kJ per mol of HCl is 54.4 kJ
