What is the difference between a molecular formula and a molecular model?

1 answer:

6 0

Molecular compounds, which are represented by molecules, are usually made of non-metals only (or of metalloids and non-metals). Ionic compounds, which are represented by formula units, are made of metals and non-metals.

More detail if you're interested: Molecules and formula units are the representative particles for molecular and ionic compounds, respectively. By that I mean, one unit of a molecular compound is a molecule...a bundle of atoms covalently bonded that exists separately from all the other molecules. One unit of an ionic compound is a formula unit. A formula unit is a representation of the compound's formula. For example, the formula unit of NaCl is one Na^+1 ion and one Cl^-1 ion. The formula unit of AlCl3 is one Al^+3 ion and three Cl^-1 ions. Ionic compounds don't have separate bundles of atoms like molecular compounds do, so the formula unit is just the smallest number of ions that it takes to represent the formula.

A sample of gallium Bromide GaBr2,weighing 0.165 g was dissolved in water and treated with silver nitrate AgNO3, and resulting t

tresset_1 [31]

Answer: The percent gallium in gallium bromide is 30.30 %.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

Given mass of gallium bromide = 0.165 g

Molar mass of titanium gallium bromide = 229.53 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of gallium bromide}=\frac{0.165g}{229.53g/mol}=0.00072mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of gallium bromide and silver nitrate follows:

$GaBr_2+2AgNO_3\rightarrow 2AgBr(s)+Ga(NO_3)_2$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 moles of gallium bromide produces 1 mole of gallium nitrate

So, 0.00072 moles of gallium bromide will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.00072=0.00072moles$ of gallium nitrate

Now, calculating the mass of gallium nitrate from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of gallium nitrate = 193.73 g/mol

Moles of gallium nitrate = 0.00072 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.00072mol=\frac{\text{Mass of gallium nitrate}}{193.73g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of gallium nitrate}=0.139g$

Calculating the mass of gallium in the reaction, we use unitary method:

In 1 mole of gallium nitrate, 1 mole of gallium atom is present.

In 193.73 grams of gallium nitrate, 69.72 g of gallium atom is present.

So, in 0.139 grams of gallium nitrate, the mass of gallium present will be = $\frac{69.72}{193.73}\times 0.139=g$

To calculate the percentage composition of gallium in gallium bromide, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ composition of gallium}=\frac{\text{Mass of gallium}}{\text{Mass of gallium bromide}}\times 100$

Mass of gallium bromide = 0.165 g

Mass of gallium = 0.050 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ composition of gallium}=\frac{0.050g}{0.165g}\times 100=30.30\%$

Hence, the percent gallium in gallium bromide is 30.30 %.

2.50 g of Zn is added to 5.00 g of HCl

Debora [2.8K]

Zn+2HCl ----> 2ZnCl2 + H2

For 2.50 g of Zn

Mass per mol = 2.50/molar mass of Zn = 2.50/65.38 = 0.0382 g/mol
There are two moles of ZnCl2 and total mass = 2*0.0382*molar mass of ZnCl2 = 2*0.0382*136.286 = 10.42 g

For 2 g of HCl

Mass per mol = 2/2*molar mass of HCl = 2/ (2*36.46) = 0.0274 g/mol
For the two moles of ZnCl2, mass produced = 2*0.0274*136.286 = 7.48 g

It can be noted that 2 g of HCl produced less amount of ZnCl and thus it is the limiting reagent.
