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.

What mass of solid that has a molar mass 89.0 g/mol should be added to 100.0 g of benzene to raise the boiling point of benzene
taurus [48]

On the basis of given data:

Mass of solvent (benzene) = 100 gm or 0.1 Kg

Molar mass of solute (solid) = 89 g/mol

Increase in boiling point (deltaTb) = 2.42 degree C

The boiling point elevation constant k = 2.53 C.kg/mol

There is a need to determine the mass of the solid to be added, the elevation in boiling point is proportional to the m (molality) of the solute;

ΔTb = k.m

Here, m that is molality = moles of solute/kg of solvent

Therefore,

ΔTb = k (benzene) × moles of solid/kg of benzene

2.42 = 2.53 × moles of solid/0.1

moles of solid = 0.0956 moles

The molar mass of solid = 89 g/mol

Thus, the mass of solid = 0.0956 moles × 89 g/mol

= 8.508 g

Thus, the mass of solid to be added is 8.508 g.

Neptune's Triton is being pulled closer and closer to the planet as it orbits. What will likely be a result of this gravitationa
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

the planet's gravity will cause Triton to fly into Neptune

Explanation:

Gravitational force is a force of attraction between two bodies with considerable masses.

One of the mass tends to pull the other to it's center.

As the force of gravity between two bodies grow, the more massive body will be drawn to the other one.

  • The effect is that one body will eventually collide with the other.
  • Since the planet pulls very hard on its moon
  • On the long run, we can expect Triton to fly into Neptune in the foreseeable future.
