Answer:
HfCl3
Explanation:
Step 1
Divide the percent by mass of each element by its relative atomic mass
Hf- 62.2/178.5, Cl-37.4/35.5
0.348, 1.054
Step2
Divide through by the lowest ratio
0.348/0.348, 1.054/0.348
1, 3
Therefore the empirical formula is HfCl3
The balanced equation is:
BaCl2 (aq) + Na2SO4 (aq) ----> BaSO4(s)+ 2 NaCl(aq)
This is a double replacement reaction.
The reactants are:
a) BaCl2: barium chloride, a ionic compound, therefore soluble in water,
b) Na2SO4: sodium sulfate, another ionic compound, therefore also soluble in water.
The products are:
c) BaSO4: barium sulfate, a solid not soluble in water which precipitates.
d) NaCl: sodium chloride, an ionic compound, therefore soluble in water.
When pressure is added to a gas the molecules bounce around really fast and push against the walls of its container. That's why when you squeeze an empty water bottle you can crush it all the way. The smaller the container the more the molecules hit the walls faster and that's what creates pressure. While moving around the molecules get hot as they speed up. Heat = Pressure.
A matter in the solid phase has a fixed shape and volume.
The answer is 2.138 g of H2
