Answer:

When heat is added to a substance the molecules and atoms vibrate faster. As atoms vibrate faster the space between atoms increases. The motion spacing of the particles determines the state of matter of the substance. The end result of increased molecule emotion is that the object expands and takes up more space.

Percentage Yield

= (3.37g/3.81g) * 100% = 88.45%.

Therefore 88.45% SO2 is the percentage yield.

An 11.75 g sample of a common hydrate of cobalt(ii) chloride is heated. after heating, 9.25 g of anhydrous cobalt chloride remai

Irina-Kira [14]

Hydrated salts are when salt crystals have water molecules bound. Anhydrous salts are when the water has been removed.
mass of water removed = hydrated salt - anhydrate salt
= 11.75 g - 9.25 g = 2.50 g
number of water moles = 2.50 g / 18 g/mol = 0.139 mol
number of cobalt (II) chloride moles = 9.25 g / 130 g/mol = 0.0712 mol
ratio of water moles to CoCl₂ moles - 0.139 mol / 0.0712 mol = 1.95
rounded off 2 moles of water for every 1 mol of CoCl₂
formula - CoCl₂.2H₂O
name - Cobalt(II) chloride dihydrate

How do we balance chemical equations in order to follow the Law of Conservation of Mass?

Bingel [31]

Answer: Every chemical equation adheres to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. ...

Use coefficients of products and reactants to balance the number of atoms of an element on both sides of a chemical equation.

Need help asap with this chemistry if someone could help me

Burka [1]

Answer:

Structure One:

N: -2
C: 0
O: +1

Structure Two:

N: 0
C: 0
O: -1

Structure Three:

N: -1
C: 0
O: 0.

Structure Number Two would likely be the most stable structure.

All five C atoms: 0
All six H atoms to C: 0
N atom: +1.

The N atom is the one that is "likely" to be attracted to an anion. See explanation.

Explanation:

When calculating the formal charge for an atom, the assumption is that electrons in a chemical bond are shared equally between the two bonding atoms. The formula for the formal charge of an atom can be written as:

$\text{Formal Charge} \\ = \text{Number of Valence Electrons in Element} \\ \phantom{=}-\text{Number of Chemical Bonds} \\\phantom{=} - \text{Number of nonbonding Lone Pair Electrons}$ .

For example, for the N atom in structure one of the first question,

N is in IUPAC group 15. There are 15 - 10 = 5 valence electrons on N.
This N atom is connected to only 1 chemical bond.
There are three pairs, or 6 electrons that aren't in a chemical bond.

The formal charge of this N atom will be $5 - 1 - 6 = -2$ .

Apply this rule to the other atoms. Note that a double bond counts as two bonds while a triple bond counts as three.

Structure One:

N: -2
C: 0
O: +1

Structure Two:

N: 0
C: 0
O: -1

Structure Three:

N: -1
C: 0
O: 0.

In general, the formal charge on all atoms in a molecule or an ion shall be as close to zero as possible. That rules out Structure number one.

Additionally, if there is a negative charge on one of the atoms, that atom shall preferably be the most electronegative one in the entire molecule. O is more electronegative than N. Structure two will likely be favored over structure three.

Similarly,

All five C atoms: 0
All six H atoms to C: 0
N atom: +1.

Assuming that electrons in a chemical bond are shared equally (which is likely not the case,) the nitrogen atom in this molecule will carry a positive charge. By that assumption, it would attract an anion.

Note that in reality this assumption seldom holds. In this ion, the N-H bond is highly polarized such that the partial positive charge is mostly located on the H atom bonded to the N atom. This example shows how the formal charge assumption might give misleading information. However, for the sake of this particular problem, the N atom is the one that is "likely" to be attracted to an anion.
