Answer:
Case 1:
            X  =  Any element from Group I
            
                       i)    H
                       ii)   Li
                       iii)  Na
                       iv)  K
                       v)   Rb
                       vi)  Cs

            Y  =  1

Case 2:
            X  =  Any element from Group II
            
                       i)    Be
                       ii)   Mg
                       iii)  Ca
                       iv)  Sr
                       v)   Ba
                       vi)  Ra

            Y  =  2

Case 3:
            X  =  Any element from Group III
            
                       i)    B
                       ii)   Al
                       iii)  Ga
                       iv)  In
                       v)   Ti

            Y  =  3

Explanation:
                   The general formula given is as follow,

                                                    XCly

So, if X has +1 oxidation state, then it will require only one Cl atom with oxidation number -1 to form a neutral compound, therefore, y = 1.

If X has +2 oxidation state, then it will require two Cl atoms with oxidation number -1 to form a neutral compound, therefore, y = 2.

If X has +3 oxidation state, then it will require three Cl atoms with oxidation number -1 to form a neutral compound, therefore, y = 3.

instrucions classify the following reactions as synthesis, decomposition,single replacement, double replacement, or combustion.
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

There are no specific equations but here what i can give you:

1. Synthesis -- A synthesis reaction is a chemical change in which two or more substances react to form a single new substance.

In all synthesis reactions, there is a single product that is a compound!

2. Decomposition -- A decomposition reaction is a chemical change in which a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler products. (This is the opposite of synthesis reactions!)

Most decomposition reactions require energy in the form of heat, light, and electricity.

3. Single Replacement -- A single-replacement reaction is a chemical change in which one element replaces a second element in a compound. You can identify a single-replacement reaction by noting that both the reactants and the products consist of an element and a compound.

4. Double Replacement -- A double-replacement reaction is a chemical change involving an exchange of positive ions between two compounds.

For a double replacement reactions to occur, one of the following is usually true:

- One of the products is only slightly soluble and precipitates from solutions.

- One of the products is a gas.

- One product is a molecular compound such as water.

5. Combustion -- A combustion reactions is a chemical change in which an element or a compound reacts with oxygen, often producing energy in the form of heat or light.

A combustion reactant always involves oxygen as a reactant. (If the supply of oxygen is limited, then the combustion will not be complete.)

The other reactant is a hydrocarbon, which is a compound composed of hydrogen and carbon and the complete combustion of a hydrocarbon produces CO2 and H2O.

Hydrocarbons include methane, propane, and butane.

I really hope this helps you!

A mixture of gases has 0.3000 mol of CO2, 0.2706 mol of SO2 and 0.3500 mol of water vapor. The total pressure of the mixture is
notka56 [123]

Answer:

Partial pressure SO₂ → 0.440 atm

Explanation:

We apply the mole fraction concept to solve this:

Moles of gas / Total moles = Partial pressure of the gas / Total pressure

Total moles = 0.3 moles of CO₂ + 0.2706 moles of SO₂ + 0.35 moles H₂O

Total moles = 0.9206 moles

Mole fraction SO₂ = 0.2706 moles / 0.9206 moles → 0.29

Now, we can know the partial pressure:

0.29 = Partial pressure SO₂ / Total pressure

0.29 = Partial pressure SO₂ / 1.5 atm

0.29 . 1.5atm = Partial pressure SO₂ → 0.440 atm
