Answer:

As + 3/2 Cl₂ → AsCl₃

Explanation:

The reaction of the problem is:

As + Cl₂ → AsₐClₓ

The problem consist in determine a and x from the formula to write the balanced equation.

1.72g of As are (Molar mass: 74.92g/mol):

1.72g * (1mol / 74.92g) = 0.02296 moles of As are added to the reaction.

As molar mass of the arsenic chloride is between 180-200g/mol, the moles produced are between:

4.17g * (1 mol / 180g) = 0.0232

4.17g * (1 mol / 200g) = 0.0209

As moles of As are 0.02296 the most logic is than 1 mole of As produce 1 mole of the compound, that means the arsenic compound contains 1 mole in each formula:

As₁Clₓ: AsClₓ

And also, 0.02296 moles of AsClₓ are produced, the molar mass is:

4.17g / 0.02296mol = 181.62g/mol.

The atom of As weighs 74.92g/mol. The mass of the chlorides is:

181.62 - 74.92 = 106.70g/mol.

1 atom of Cl weighs 35.45g/mol:

106.70g/mol / 35.45g/mol = 3.0 atoms of Cl are in the chemical formula, that is:

AsCl₃

And the balanced equation for this synthesis is:

As + Cl₂ → AsCl₃

<h3>As + 3/2 Cl₂ → AsCl₃</h3>

The lab procedure mentions that not all of the oxone may dissolve after being added to the water because the water may be satura
ollegr [7]

Answer:

The answer is (C) There are more solute molecules than water molecules.

Explanation:

A saturated solution is one in which no more solute can be dissolved or disintegrated into the solvent. When or if the ozone  stops being dissolved in the water, it implies that the water has already taken on more ozone molecules than it can contain, meaning there are more solute molecules (ozone molecules) than there are solvent molecules (water molecules).

Which out of two has stronger forces of attraction sugar or water very sort answer​
Marina CMI [18]

Sugar. It is solid and its atoms have less kinetic energy to overcome the bonding force. So, the bonding force is stronger than water, which is liquid and has more kinetic energy to overcome the bonding force of atoms. So, water has less strong force of attraction. Hence, sugar has stronger forces of attraction.

Which statement describes a chemical property of water?
anygoal [31]
<span>The chemical description of water is H2O, which means, it is composed of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. The answer to this item is the fourth option, " It is clear and colorless." When water is added with calcium, clear, colorless bubbles are formed. This explains a reaction of water with acid. The following are additional facts about water properties: Density: 1 g/cm³ Boiling point: 100 °C Molar mass: 18.01528 g/mol Melting point: 0 °C Formula: H2O</span>
