Answer:

<h2>D) 6</h2>

Explanation:

since,   n = molar mass / empirical formula mass

   Empirical formula mass = Total mass of atoms present in empirical formula

                       CHCl = 12+1+35.5

                                = 48.5

 Given, Molar mass = 290.8 g.

           So,        n = 290.8/48.5

                           = 5.995 , that is approx  6.

        So, Molecular formula = n × Empirical formula

                                           = 6 × CHCl

                                           = C_{6}H_{6}Cl_{6}

       So,   Number of C = 6

You are trying to determine the specific heat of a metal. You heat the 97 g piece of metal to 100 °C and place it in a calorimet
Brut [27]

Answer : The specific heat of the metal is, 0.658J/g^oC

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

q_1=-q_2

m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)

where,

c_1 = specific heat of metal = ?

c_2 = specific heat of water = 4.18J/g^oC

m_1 = mass of metal = 97 g

m_2 = mass of water  = 122 g

T_f = final temperature of mixture = 28.9^oC

T_1 = initial temperature of metal = 100^oC

T_2 = initial temperature of water = 20.0^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get

97g\times c_1\times (28.9-100)^oC=-122g\times 4.18J/g^oC\times (28.9-20.0)^oC

c_1=0.658J/g^oC

Therefore, the specific heat of the metal is, 0.658J/g^oC

Identify the dominant intermolecular attraction in bh3.
k0ka [10]
The molecule BH3 is trigonal planar, with B in the center and H in the three vertices. Ther are no free electrons. All the valence electrons are paired in and forming bonds.

There are four kind of intermolecular attractions: ionic, hydrogen bonds, polar and dispersion forces.

B and H have very similar electronegativities, Boron's electronegativity is 2.0 and Hydrogen's electronegativity is 2.0.

The basis of ionic compounds are ions and the basis of polar compounds are dipoles.

The very similar electronegativities means that B and H will not form either ions or dipoles. So, that discards the possibility of finding ionic or polar interactions.

 Regarding, hydrogen bonds, that only happens when hydrogen bonds to O, N or F atoms. This is not the case, so you are sure that there are not hydrogen bonds.

When this is the case, the only intermolecular force is dispersion interaction, which present in all molecules.

Then, the answer is dispersion interaction.

Based on the electron configuration of the two atoms, predict the ratio of metal cationic (+) atom to nonmetal anionic (-) atom
Pepsi [2]

The metal cationic (+) atom to nonmetal anionic (-) atom ratio in the compound formed between Potassium and Chlorine is 1:1.

<h3>What is a compound?</h3>

A compound is made up of two or more atoms that are chemically combined together. In this case, we have the atoms; Potassium and Chlorine.

The electronic configuration of the atoms is not shown here but the metal cationic (+) atom to nonmetal anionic (-) atom ratio in the compound formed between Potassium and Chlorine is 1:1.
