<u>Answer:</u> The reactant ratio in the given chemical equation will be: $Fe:Cl_2=2:3$

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mole ratio is defined as the ratio of the amount of moles of two substances that are participating in a chemical reaction.

In the given chemical equation:

$2Fe+3Cl_2\rightarrow 2FeCl_3$

The reactants are Fe and $Cl_2$ and the product is $FeCl_3$

The mole ratio is basically the stoichiometric ratio of the chemical compounds taking part in a chemical reaction.

The mole ratio of reactants is stoichiometric ratio of Fe and $Cl_2$ , which is:

$Fe:Cl_2=2:3$

Hence, the reactant ratio in the given chemical equation will be: $Fe:Cl_2=2:3$

Oxalic Acid, a compound found in plants and vegetables such as rhubarb, has a mass percent composition of 26.7% C, 2.24% H, and

blondinia [14]

Answer:

HCO₂

Explanation:

From the information given:

The mass of the elements are:

Carbon C = 26.7 g; Hydrogen H = 2.24 g Oxygen O = 71.1 g

To determine the empirical formula;

First thing is to find the numbers of moles of each atom.

For Carbon:

$=26.7 \ g\times \dfrac{1 \ mol }{12.01 \ g} \\ \\ =2.22 \ mol \ of \ Carbon$

For Hydrogen:

$=2.24 \ g\times \dfrac{1 \ mol }{1.008 \ g} \\ \\ =2.22 \ mol \ of \ Hydrogen$

For Oxygen:

$=71.1 \ g\times \dfrac{1 \ mol }{1.008 \ g} \\ \\ =4.44 \ mol \ of \ oxygen$

Now; we use the smallest no of moles to divide the respective moles from above.

For carbon:

$\dfrac{2.22 \ mol \ of \ carbon}{2.22} =1 \ mol \ of \ carbon$

For Hydrogen:

$\dfrac{2.22 \ mol \ of \ carbon}{2.22} =1 \ mol \ of \ hydrogen$

For Oxygen:

$\dfrac{4.44 \ mol \ of \ Oxygen}{2.22} =2 \ mol \ of \ oxygen$

Thus, the empirical formula is HCO₂

What is the relationship between melting/boiling point and intermolecular forces

sattari [20]

Boiling points are a measure of intermolecular forces. The intermolecular forces increase with increasing polarization of bonds. Boiling point increases with molecular weight, and with surface area.

An unknown compound, X is thought to have a carboxyl group with a pKa of 2.0 and another ionizable group with a pKa between 5 an

Westkost [7]

Answer:

7.3

Explanation:

By Henderson Hasselbalch equation we can calculate the pH or the pOH of a solution by its pKa. Remember that $pH = -log[H^{+}]$ , and pKa = -logKa. Ka is the equilibrium constant of the acid.

Henderson Hasselbalch equation :

$pH = pKa - log \frac{[HA]}{[A^{-}]}$

Where [HA] is the concentration of the acid, and $[A^{-}]$ is the concentration of the anion which forms the acid.

So, acid X, has two ionic forms, the carboxyl group and the other one. First, we have 0.1 mol/L of the acid, in 100 mL, so the number of moles of X

n1 = (0.1 mol/L)x(0.1 L) = 0.01 mol

When it dissociates, it forms 0.005 mol of the carboxyl group and 0.005 mol of the other group. Assuming same stoichiometry.

Adding NaOH, with 0.1 mol/L and 75 mL, the number of moles of $OH^-$ will be

n2 = (0.1 mol/L)x(0.075 L) = 0.0075 mol

So, the 0.0075 mol of $OH^-$ reacts with 0.005 mol of carboxyl, remaining 0.0025 mol of $OH^-$ , which will react with the 0.005 mol of the other group. So, it will remain 0.0025 mol of the other group.

The final volume of the solution will be 175 mL, but both concentrations (the acid form and ionic form) have the same volume, so we can use the number of mol in the equation.

Note that, the number of moles of the acid form is still 0.01 mol because it doesn't react!

So,

$6.72 = pKa - log \frac{0.01}{0.0025}$
