Compound X has a molar mass of 416.48 g mol

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

P₂Cl₁₀

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Molar mass of compound X = 416.48 g/mol

Percentage of phosphorus (P) = 14.87%

Percentage of Chlorine (Cl) = 85.13%

Molecular formula of X =?

Next, we shall determine the empirical formula of compound X. This can be obtained as follow:

P = 14.87%

Cl = 85.13%

Divide by their molar mass

P = 14.87 / 31 = 0.480

Cl = 85.13 / 35.5 = 2.398

Divide by the smallest

P = 0.480 / 0.480 = 1

Cl = 2.398 / 0.480 = 5

Empirical formula of compound X is PCl₅

Finally, we shall determine the molecular formula of compound X. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of compound X = 416.48 g/mol

Empirical formula = PCl₅

Molecular formula =?

Molecular formula= [Empirical formula]ₙ

[PCl₅]ₙ = 416.48

[31 + (35.5 × 5)]ₙ = 416.48

[31 + 177.5]n = 416.48

208.5n = 416.48

Divide both side by 208.5

n = 416.48 / 208.5

n = 2

Molecular formula = [PCl₅]ₙ

Molecular formula = [PCl₅]₂

Molecular formula = P₂Cl₁₀

Therefore, the molecular formula of compound X is P₂Cl₁₀

What is the freezing point depression of a solution that contains 0.705?

Sveta_85 [38]

Colligative properties calculations are used for this type of problem. Calculations are as follows:

ΔT(freezing point) = (Kf)m
ΔT(freezing point) = 1.86 °C kg / mol (0.705)
ΔT(freezing point) = 1.3113 °C

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

While you were "sweating" your chemistry test, water vapor evaporates from your body, absorbing 50,000 J of energy. (assume no

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf B. \ 22 \ grams}}$

Explanation:

We need to use the formula for heat of vaporization.

$Q=H_{vap}*m$

Identify the variables.

The heat absorbed by the evaporating water is the latent heat of vaporization. For water, that is 2260 Joules per gram.

Q is the energy, in this problem, 50,000 Joules.

m is the mass, which is unknown.

$H_{vap}=2260 \ J/g\\Q=50,000 \ J \\$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$50,000 \ J=2260 \ J/g*m$

We want to find the mass. We must isolate the variable, m.

m is being multiplied by 2260 J/g. The inverse operation of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 2260 J/g.

$\frac{50,000 \ J}{2260 \ J/g} =\frac{2260 \ J/g*m}{2260 \ J/g}$

$\frac{50,000 \ J}{2260 \ J/g} =m$

Divide. Note that the Joules (J) will cancel each other out.

$\frac{50,000 \ }{2260 \ g} =m$

$22.1238938 \ g =m$

Round to the nearest whole number. The 1 in the tenth place tells us to leave the number as is.

$22 \ g \approx m$

The mass is about 22 grams, so choice B is correct.

Why do weak acid-weak base reactions not go to completion?

vladimir2022 [97]

Neither a weak acid nor a weak base has a strong tendency to transfer H+ ions that is why weak acid-weak base reactions not go to completion.
