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>

What is the mass in 0.25 mol of SO2
gulaghasi [49]

0.25 mols SO₂ x 64.058 g SO₂/ 1 mol SO₂ = 16.0145 g SO₂

molar mass of SO₂: 64.058 g

answer: 16 grams of SO₂ (2 sig figs)

check the question to see if its asked for a specific unit for mass (grams or kilograms, if they asked for kiligrams then convert 16 grams to kilograms by dividing it by 1000)

Kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy are both forms of which type
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

<em>C. Potential energy</em>

Explanation:

Kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy are both forms of potential energy. Potential energy is stored energy, when an object is not in motion it has stored energy. When an object is an motion it has kinetic energy. An object posses gravitational potential energy when it is above or below the zero height.
