Keri has to identify a mysterious brown liquid in science class. She pours it through a filter, but the substance looks the same

. Then she heats the substance and collects the water that evaporates. The water droplets look the same as the original substance. Keri concludes that since the substance cannot be separated it must be a compound. Is Keri correct?

Answer is: No, because the substance could be an element.

Pure substance is made of only one type of atom (element) or only one type of molecule, it has definite and constant composition with distinct chemical properties.

Pure substances can be separated chemically, not physically, that is difference between pure substances and mixtures.

Elements (for example copper, iron, sulfur) and compounds (water, sodium chloride) have definite and constant composition with distinct chemical properties.

The answer is NO. It can not be a compound it is an element.

In a component mixture it can be separated physically way from the other.

In element it can be only separated by a way of destroying the compound itself by chemical reaction.

How many moles of PC15 can be produced from 51.0 g of Cl2 (and excess P4)?
slava [35]

Answer:

0.287 mole of PCl5.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 51g of Cl2. This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of Cl2 = 2 x 35.5 = 71g/mol

Mass of Cl2 = 51g

Number of mole of Cl2 =..?

Mole = Mass /Molar Mass

Number of mole of Cl2 = 51/71 = 0.718 mole

Next, we shall write the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

P4 + 10Cl2 → 4PCl5

Finally, we determine the number of mole of PCl5 produced from the reaction as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

10 moles of Cl2 reacted to produce 4 moles of PCl5.

Therefore, 0.718 mole of Cl2 will react to produce = (0.718 x 4)/10 = 0.287 mole of PCl5.

Therefore, 0.287 mole of PCl5 is produced from the reaction.
