Data: molar mass 470 g/mol

Percent composition:

Hg = 85.0%
Cl = 15.0%

Solution:

1)  Convert % to molar ratios

A. Base: 100 g

=> Hg = 85.0 g / 200.59 g/mol = 0.4235 mol

     Cl = 15.0 g / 35.45 g/mol = 0.4231 mol

B. divide by the higher number and round to whole number

Hg = 0.4325 / 0.4231 = 1.00

Cl = 0.4231 / 0.4231 = 1.00

=> Empirical formula = Hg Cl

2) Find the mass of the empirical formula:

HgCl: 200.59 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol = 236.04

3) Determine how many times is the empirical mass contained in the molecular mass:

470 g/mol / 236.04 = 1.99 ≈ 2

=> Molecular formula = Hg2 Cl2.

Answers:

Empirical formula HgCl
Molecular Formula Hg2Cl2

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

C)  The most efficient fusion reactors would use heavier forms of hydrogen.

Explanation:

From the information presented to us in the question, the third sentence reveals that heavier forms of hydrogen produces larger amount of energy and most importantly reacts more efficiently when fusion occurs.

<em>In fact, the </em><u><em>heavy isotopes of hydrogen—deuterium and tritium—react more efficiently</em></u><em> with each other, and, when they do undergo fusion, they yield more energy per reaction than do two hydrogen nuclei. </em>

Can someone please help me solve this? i dont understand this problem :(

Answer:

–4020 KJ

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

H₂(g) + F₂(g) —> 2HF(g) ΔH = –536 KJ

Next, we shall determine the mass of H₂ that reacted from the balanced equation to produce –536 KJ of heat energy. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of H₂ = 2 × 1 = 2 g/mol

Mass of H₂ from the balanced equation = 1 × 2 = 2 g.

Summary:

From the balanced equation above,

2 g of H₂ reacted to produce –536 KJ of heat energy.

Finally, we shall determine the heat change produced by the reaction of 15 g of H₂. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

2 g of H₂ reacted to produce –536 KJ of heat energy.

Therefore, 15 g of H₂ will react to produce = (15 × –536)/2 = –4020 KJ of heat energy.

Thus, the heat change for the reaction is –4020 KJ

D is true because NO2 is a catalyst, and a catalyst is a compound which makes a reaction occur faster (not necessarily more effectively, creating more product, but it decreases the amount of time it takes).
