The answer is C. There is equal number of each type of atom on the reactant side and product side.

I just did test!

Hope it helps :)

I would say that what conserving mass in a chemical equation means is that C. There is equal number of each type of atom on the reactant side and product side.
The equation is equal and no material is lost or gained.

Compound X has a molar mass of 416.48 g mol

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

P₂Cl₁₀

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Molar mass of compound X = 416.48 g/mol

Percentage of phosphorus (P) = 14.87%

Percentage of Chlorine (Cl) = 85.13%

Molecular formula of X =?

Next, we shall determine the empirical formula of compound X. This can be obtained as follow:

P = 14.87%

Cl = 85.13%

Divide by their molar mass

P = 14.87 / 31 = 0.480

Cl = 85.13 / 35.5 = 2.398

Divide by the smallest

P = 0.480 / 0.480 = 1

Cl = 2.398 / 0.480 = 5

Empirical formula of compound X is PCl₅

Finally, we shall determine the molecular formula of compound X. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of compound X = 416.48 g/mol

Empirical formula = PCl₅

Molecular formula =?

Molecular formula= [Empirical formula]ₙ

[PCl₅]ₙ = 416.48

[31 + (35.5 × 5)]ₙ = 416.48

[31 + 177.5]n = 416.48

208.5n = 416.48

Divide both side by 208.5

n = 416.48 / 208.5

n = 2

Molecular formula = [PCl₅]ₙ

Molecular formula = [PCl₅]₂

Molecular formula = P₂Cl₁₀

Therefore, the molecular formula of compound X is P₂Cl₁₀

To test the effectiveness of a gunpowder mixture, 1 gram was exploded under controlled STP conditions, and the reaction chamber

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

1.3 × 10³ cm³

Explanation:

The gas occupies a volume of V₁ = 310 cm³ under standard temperature and pressure (STP), that is, T₁ = 273.15 K and P₁ = 1.0 atm. In order to find the volume V₂ under different conditions we can use the combined gas law formula.

$\frac{P_{1}.V_{1}}{T_{1}} =\frac{P_{2}.V_{2}}{T_{2}} \\V_{2}=\frac{P_{1}.V_{1}.T_{2}}{T_{1}.P_{2}}=\frac{1.0atm\times 310cm^{3} \times 2473K }{273.15K \times 2.1atm} =1.3 \times 10^{3} cm^{3}$

Which type of intermolecular or interatomic force does methylated spirits fall under?

Triss [41]

Of all the substances used, water possesses the strongest intermolecular forces (hydrogen bonds). Although hydrogen bonds exist in glycerin and methylated spirits as well, they are a little weaker than in water.

Intermolecular forces in ch3oh include London dispersion forces, dipole dipole attraction, and hydrogen bonding. Methylated spirits, a common industrial solvent, are mostly made of ethyl alcohol. Because methanol denatures ethyl alcohol, commercial supply is exempt from the typical taxes and charges imposed on alcohol. A quantity of methyl alcohol or phenol is added to make it so that drinking it will make you go blind. Alcohols have the hydrogen bonding and van der Waals intermolecular forces of attraction.

Question 2 of 50

wolverine [178]

The thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate will produce 14 g of calcium oxide. The stoichiometric ratio of calcium carbonate to calcium oxide is 1:1, therefore the number of moles of calcium carbonate decomposed is equal to the number of moles of calcium oxide formed.

Further Explanation:

To solve this problem, follow the steps below:

Write the balanced chemical equation for the given reaction.
Convert the mass of calcium carbonate into moles.
Determine the number of moles of calcium oxide formed by using the stoichiometric ratio for calcium oxide and calcium carbonate based on the coefficient of the chemical equation.
Convert the number of moles of calcium oxide into mass.

Solving the given problem using the steps above:

STEP 1: The balanced chemical equation for the given reaction is:

$CaCO_{3} \rightarrow \ CaO \ + \ CO_{2}$

STEP 2: Convert the mass of calcium carbonate into moles using the molar mass of calcium carbonate.

$mol \ CaCO_{3} \ = 25 \ g \ CaCO_{3} \ (\frac{1 \ mol \ CaCO_{3}}{100.0869 \ g \ CaCO_{3}})\\ \\\boxed {mol \ CaCO_{3} \ = 0.2498 \ mol}$

STEP 3: Use the stoichiometric ratio to determine the number of moles of CaO formed.

For every mole of calcium carbonate decomposed, one more of a calcium oxide is formed. Therefore,

$mol \ CaO \ = 0.2498 \ mol$

STEP 4: Convert the moles of CaO into mass of CaO using its molar mass.

$mass \ CaO \ = 0.2498 \ mol \ CaO \ (\frac{56.0774 \ g \ CaO}{1 \ mol \ CaO})\\ \\mass \ CaO \ = 14.008 \ g$

Since there are only 2 significant figures in the given, the final answer must have the same number of significant figures.

Therefore,

$\boxed {mass \ CaO \ = 14 \ g}$
