There are 11 Carbon atoms in the compound.

<u>Solution:</u>

Carbon atom count is the ratio of the M peak to the M+1 peak.

\text{ Number of Carbon atoms }=\frac{\text { Relative intensity of } M+1 \text { peak }}{0.011 \times \text { Relative tntensity of } M \text { peak }}

Here M peak is 57.10% and M+1 peak is 6.83%. On applying the values in the formula we get,

\frac{0.0683}{0.011\times0.571g} = 10.87\approx11

Therefore, the number of Carbon atoms in the compound are 11.

Refer the image attached below for a better understanding of M peak and M+1 peak.

The heaviest ion that has the greatest m/z value is said to be the molecular ion peak in mass spectrum.

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

D. 693.8.

Explanation:

  • The first scale of the triple beam balance indicate that the mass is 600.
  • The second scale of the triple beam balance indicate that the mass is 690.
  • The third scale of the triple beam balance indicate that the mass is higher that 693.5 and the scale is near but lower than 694, so the mass = 693.8.c

A 2.5 mol sample of phosphorus pentachloride, PCl5 dissociates at 160C and 1.00atm to give 0.338 mol of phosphorus trichloride a
Readme [11.4K]

Explanation:

Moles of phosphorus pentachloride present initially = 2.5 mol

Moles of phosphorus trichloride at equilibrium = 0.338 mol

PCl_5\rightleftharpoons PCl_3+Cl_2

Initially

2.5 mol      0    0

At equilibrium:

(2.5 - x) mol      x     x

So, from above, the moles of phosphorus trichloride at equilibrium , x= 0.338 mol

Mass of 0.338 moles of  phosphorus trichloride at equilibrium:

= 0.338 mol × 137.5 g/mol = 46.475 g

Moles of phosphorus pentachloride present at equilibrium :

= (2.5 - 0.338) mol = 2.162 mol

Mass of 2.162 moles of  phosphorus pentachloride at equilibrium:

= 2.162 mol × 208.5 g/mol = 450.777 g

Moles of chloride gas present at equilibrium : 0.338 mol

Mass of 0.338 moles of chloride gas at equilibrium:

= 0.338 mol × 71 g/mol = 23.998 g

A 28.5 gram piece of iron is added to a graduated cylinder containing 45.5 mL of water. The water in the cylinder rises to the 4
yan [13]

7.91 g/ml is the density of the iron piece of 28.5 gms.

Explanation:

The density of a substance is defined as the volume it occupies.  It tells the matter present in a substance.

The density is mass per unit volume and is denoted by p.

The formula for density is given by:

density (p) = \frac{mass}{volume}

Data given is :

mass= 28.5 grams

V1 = 45.5 ml

V2= 49.1 ml

The initial volume of water was 45.5 ml, when iron piece of 28.5 grams was added the final volume was 49.1 ml.

Putting the values in the equation of density

p = \frac{28.5}{49.1-45.5}

p = 7.91 g/ml

Since iron is a dense material it will occupy less volume
