Answer:

Ionic compounds

Explanation:

Molecular formula consists of chemical symbols for constituent elements followed by the numeric subscripts describing number of the atoms of each element present in one molecule of the compound.

On the other hand, ionic compounds do not exist in the form of molecules. They are in the form of crystal lattice in the solid state which contains many ions each of cation and anion.

Thus, a ionic compounds are unable to write a molecular formula. Empirical formulas to used to represent them.

Be sure to answer all parts. Write an unbalanced equation to represent each of the following reactions: Do not include phase abb

Eva8 [605]

Answer: The unbalanced chemical equations are written below.

Explanation:

An unbalanced chemical equation is defined as the equation in which total number of individual atoms on the reactant side is not equal to the total number of individual atoms on the product side. These equations does not follow law of conservation of mass.

For a:

The chemical equation for the reaction of nitrogen gas and oxygen gas follows:

$N_2+O_2\rightarrow NO_2$

The product formed is nitrogen dioxide.

For b:

The chemical equation for the decomposition of dinitrogen pentaoxide follows:

$N_2O_5\rightarrow N_2O_4+O_2$

The product formed is dinitrogen tetroxide and oxygen gas.

For c:

The chemical equation for the reaction of ozone to oxygen gas follows:

$O_3\rightarrow O_2$

The product formed is oxygen gas.

For d:

The chemical equation for the reaction of chlorine and sodium iodide follows:

$Cl_2+NaI\rightarrow NaCl+I_2$

The product formed is sodium chloride and iodine gas

For e:

The chemical equation for the reaction of magnesium and oxygen gas follows:

$Mg+O_2\rightarrow MgO$

The product formed is magnesium oxide

If 5 mol of oxygen gas effuses through an opening in 10 seconds, how long will it take for the same amount of hydrogen gas to ef

andrezito [222]

Answer:

Explanation:

Recall the law of effusion:

$\displaystyle \frac{r_1}{r_2} = \sqrt{ \frac{\mathcal{M}_2}{\mathcal{M}_1} }$

Because 5 mol of oxygen was effused in 10 seconds, the rate is 0.5 mol/s.

Let the rate of oxygen be r₁ and the rate of hydrogen be r₂.

The molecular weight of oxygen gas is 32.00 g/mol and the molecular weight of hydrogen gas is 2.02 g/mol.

Substitute and solve for r₂:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \frac{(0.5\text{ mol/s})}{r_2} & = \sqrt{\frac{(2.02\text{ g/mol})}{(32.00\text{ g/mol})}} \\ \\ r_2 & = \frac{0.5\text{ mol/s}}{\sqrt{\dfrac{(2.02\text{ g/mol})}{(32.00\text{ g/mol})}}} \\ \\ & = 2.0\text{ mol/s}\end{aligned}$

Because there are 5 moles of hydrogen gas:

$\displaystyle 5.0\text{ mol} \cdot \frac{1\text{ s}}{2.0\text{ mol}} = 2.5\text{ s}$

In conclusion, it will take about 2.5 seconds for the hydrogen gas to effuse.

Check: Because hydrogen gas is lighter than oxygen gas, we expect that hydrogen gas will effuse quicker than oxygen gas.

Is burning of coal a reversible change??? If yes how?

koban [17]

I don't think so. No way that I know anyway. It it could be done then the need for more coal to be mined would have stopped hundreds of years ago. Once coal is burned, it forms water and carbon dioxide (essentially) with some sulfur oxides.

How do you put that back together again. It's a little like humpty dumpty.

Explain the reaction between metallic hydroxides and a dilute acid?

dolphi86 [110]

The hydroxide (OH) in the metallic hydroxide will react with the hydrogen in an acid to form H2O. The remaining ions will combine to form a salt. Therefore a metal hydroxide and an acid will form a salt + water.
