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

How much iodine (I2), in grams, should be added to water to produce 2.5L of solution with a molarity of 0.56M?
denis-greek [22]

Molarity=Moles of solute/Volume of solution in L

So

  • 0.56M=moles/2.5L
  • moles=0.56(2.5)
  • moles of Iodine=1.4mol

Mads of Iodine

  • Moles(Molar mass)
  • 1.4(126.9)
  • 177.66g

The change in entropy, Δ S ∘ rxn , is related to the the change in the number of moles of gas molecules, Δ n gas . Determine the
rewona [7]

Answer:

The entropy decreases.

Explanation:

The change in the standard entropy of a reaction (ΔS°rxn) is related to the change in the number of gaseous moles (Δngas), where

Δngas = n(gaseous products) - n(gaseous reactants)

  • If Δngas > 0, the entropy increases
  • If Δngas < 0, the entropy decreases.
  • If Δngas = 0, there is little or no change in the entropy.

Let's consider the following reaction.

2 H₂(g) + O₂(g) ⟶ 2 H₂O(l)

Δngas = 0 - 3 = -3, so the entropy decreases.
