Answer:

The answer to your question is Pd₂H₄

Explanation:

Data

mass of palladium = 42.56 g

mass of hydrogen = 0.8 g

Process

1.- Convert the grams of each substance to moles

                   106 g of Pd ----------------- 1 mol

                    42.56 g of Pd -------------  x

                      x = (42.56 x 1)/106

                      x = 0.402 moles

                      1 g of H --------------------- 1 mol

                     0.8 g of H ------------------ x

                     x = (0.8 x 1)/1

                     x = 0.8 moles

2.- Divide by the lowest number of moles

Palladium = 0.402/0.402 = 1

Hydrogen = 0.8/0.402 = 1.99 ≈ 2              

3.- Write the empirical formula

                                 PdH₂

4.- Calculate the mass of the empirical formula

PdH₂ = 106 + 2 = 108

5.- Divide the molar mass by the molar mass of the empirical formula

                     216.8/108 = 2

6.- Get the molecular formula

                 2(PdH₂) = Pd₂H₄

When aqueous solutions of Na2SO4 and Pb(NO3)2 are mixed, PbSO4 precipitates. Calculate the mass of PbSO4 formed when 1.25 L of 0
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

The mass of PbSO4 formed 15.163 gram

Explanation:

mole of Pb(NO₃)₂ = 1.25 x 0.05 = 0.0625

mole of Na₂SO₄ = 2 x 0.025 = 0.05

                                      Pb(NO₃)₂ + Na₂SO₄ → PbSO₄ + 2 NaNO₃

( Mole/Stoichiometry )    \frac{0.0625}{1}           \frac{0.05}{1}

                                     = 0.0625     = 0.05

From  (Mole/ Stoichiometry ) we can conclude that Na₂SO₄ is limiting reagent.

Mass of PbSO₄ precipitate = 0.05 x Molecular mass of PbSO₄

                                            = 0.05 x 303.26 g

                                            = 15.163 g

Can someone please answer this?
Amanda [17]

Answer:-

0.229 L

Explanation:-

Molar mass of AgBr = 107.87 x 1 + 79.9 x 1

=187.77 grams mol-1

Mass of AgBr = 150 grams

Number of moles of AgBr = 150 grams / 187.77 gram mol-1

= 0.8 mol

The balanced chemical equation is

NaBr (aq) + AgNO3 (aq)--> AgBr(s) + NaNO3(aq)

From the equation we can see that

1 mol of AgBr is produced from 1 mol of AgNO3.

∴ 0.8 mol of AgBr is produced from 1 x 0.8 / 1 = 0.8 mol of AgNO3.

Strength of AgNO3 = 3.5 M

Volume of AgNO3 required = Number of moles / strength

= 0.8 moles / 3.5

=0.229 L

pressure has little effect on the solubility of liquids and solids because they are almost incompressible. True or False
slavikrds [6]

Pressure has little effect on the solubility of liquids and solids because they are almost incompressible True.

Liquids and solids show little change in solubility with changes in pressure. As expected, gases increase in solubility with increasing pressure. Henry's Law states that the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure of that gas above the surface of the solution.

External pressure has little effect on liquid and solid solubility. In contrast, the solubility of a gas increases as the partial pressure of the gas above the solution increases.

Solubility is a measure of the concentration of dissolved gas particles in a liquid and is a function of gas pressure. Increasing the gas pressure increases the number of collisions and increases the solubility, and decreasing the pressure decreases the solubility.

Which of the following processes have a ΔS < 0? Which of the following processes have a ΔS < 0? carbon dioxide(g) → carbon
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

All of the above processes have a ΔS < 0.

Explanation:

ΔS represents change in entropy of a system. Entropy refers to the degree of disorderliness of a system.

The question requests us to identify the process that has a negative change of entropy.

carbon dioxide(g) → carbon dioxide(s)

There is  a change in state from gas to solid. Solid particles are more ordered than gas particles so this is a negative change in entropy.

water freezes

There is  a change in state from liquid to solid. Solid particles are more ordered than liquid particles so this is a negative change in entropy.

propanol (g, at 555 K) → propanol (g, at 400 K)

Temperature is directly proportional to entropy, this means higher temperature leads t higher entropy.

This reaction highlights a drop in temperature which means a negative change in entropy.

methyl alcohol condenses

Condensation is the change in state from gas to liquid. Liquid particles are more ordered than gas particles so this is a negative change in entropy.
