An ionic compound has the general form, xcly. which option for x and y correctly completes the formula?

1 answer:

8 0

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.

Gaseous methane will react with gaseous oxygen to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water . Suppose 7.9 g of methane is

Vikki [24]

Explanation:

The given reaction is as follows.

$CH_{4} + 2O_{2} \rightarrow CO_{2} + 2H_{2}O$

As it is known that number of moles equal mass divided by molar mass. Molar mass of methane is 16 g/mol.

Hence, No. of moles = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

= $\frac{7.9 g}{16 g/mol}$

= 0.493 mol

Molar mass of oxygen is 32 g/mol.

Hence, its number of moles = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

= $\frac{14.4 g}{32 g/mol}$

= 0.45 mol

As, it is shown from the reaction that 1 mole of methane needs 2 mole of oxygen.

Therefore, 0.493 mol of methane needs $2 \times 0.45 mol$ equals 0.9 moles of oxygen.

As there is only 0.45 moles of oxygen for the reaction. So, it means that oxygen is the limiting reagent.

Hence, for 0.45 moles of oxygen, methane required is as follows.

$\frac{0.45}{2}$ = 0.225 moles

So, 0.225 moles of methane is equal to $0.225 \times 16$ = 3.6 g

As, 3.6 g of methane reacts with oxygen. Therefore, amount of methane remains is calculated as follows.

(7.9 g - 3.6 g) = 4.3 g

Thus, we can conclude that the minimum mass of methane that could be left over by the chemical reaction is 4.3 g.

A chemical reaction that is expected to form 325.0 gof product only forms 123.8 g of product. What is the percent yield of this

Tasya [4]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf A. \ 38.1 \%}}$

Explanation:

Percent yield is the ratio of the amount actually produced to how much could theoretically be produced. It is found using this formula:

$\% \ yield = \frac{actual \ yield}{theoretical \ yield} *100$

For this reaction, the theoretical or expected yield is 325.0 grams. The actual yield is 123.8 grams.

$\% \ yield = \frac{ 123.8 \ g }{325.0 \ g }*100$

Divide.

$\% \ yield = 0.380923077 *100$

$\% \ yield = 38.0923077$

Round to the nearest hundredth. The 9 in the hundredth place tells us to round the 0 to a 1 .

$\% \ yield \approx 38.1$

The percent yield is about <u>38.1%</u>

How does a nuclear reactor produce electricity?

aleksley [76]

Answer:

Nuclear reactors are the heart of a nuclear power plant. They contain and control nuclear chain reactions that produce heat through a physical process called fission. That heat is used to make steam that spins a turbine to create electricity

2 questions, please help!!

Amanda [17]

i'd go for universal indicator, bromothymol blue and methyl red

i mean, they have the degrees of acidity (specific color changes)

they have wider ranges of color changes which will lead to the strength of acid

you will know the degree of acidity of the cosmetics

in fact, bromothymol blue is used to detect the slightest level of acid or base in a substance

universal indicator has the pH charts; the range is big so that you can measure the level of acidity effectively

methyl red is sensitive too as the other two mentioned earlier

the other way that's not included in your choices is the pH meter

unlike litmus papers which just have 2 results; either red or blue

phenolphthalein only colorless, pale pink

you won't know the degree of acidity

hope that helps

What is the controlled variable of your experiment?<br> Your answer

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

The controlled variable of an experiment is the one thing that stays the same in an experiment.

Explanation:

An example would be : if I have two pennies, both dunked in water, but than I change one to be dunked in vinegar, the one dunked in water still is the constant or the controlled variable.
