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>

Which is stronger - the attractive forces between water molecules and chromium and chloride ions, or the combined ionic bond str
Tju [1.3M]

Answer is: the combined ionic bond strength of CrCl₂ and intermolecular forces between water molecules.

When chromium chloride (CrCl₂) is dissolved in water, the temperature of the water increases, heat of the solution is endothermic.

Dissociation of chromium chloride in water: CrCl₂(aq) → Cr²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq).

Energy (the lattice energy) is required to pull apart the oppositely charged ions in chromium chloride.

The heat of hydration is liberated energy when the separated ions (in this example chromium cations and chlorine anions) attract polar water molecules.

Because the lattice energy is higher than the heat of the hydration (endothermic reaction), we can conclude that bonds between ions are strong (the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions).

Refer to the following compounds.
goblinko [34]

Answer: The answer is D. This has a Carboxylic Acid group, and is acetic acid, or Ethanoic Acid.

ALWAYS LOOK for the Functional Group in question.

A. Would likely not stay in water, or at least not be acidic, for it is butane gas.

B. Is 1-propanol, and alcohols are not acidic as a rule. Certainly not in water.

C. This is an Ether. It will not give up an H+, it it not an acid.

E. This functional group is an amine, which is more “base” like, since the lone pairs of the Nitrogen atom would tend to attract a H+.
