Answer:

            Dichloromethane

Explanation:

As we know the atomic number given belongs to following elements, i.e.

Atomic #                   Element                      M.Mass

   1                           Hydrogen                    1 g.mol⁻¹

   6                          Carbon                        12 g.mol⁻¹

   17                         Chlorine                      35.5 g.mol⁻¹

Also the molecular formula of Dichloromethane is,

                           =  CH₂Cl₂

Putting molar masses of each element,

                          =  (12)₁  +  (1)₂  +  (35.5)₂

                          =  12  +  2  +  71

                          =  85 g.mol⁺¹

Result:

         Hence the only possible structure containing 5 atoms is Dichloromethane.

Calculate the pH of the following simple solutions:
IceJOKER [234]

Answer :

(1) pH = 1.27

(2) pH = 13.35

(3) The given solution is not a buffer.

Explanation :

<u>(1) 53.1 mM HCl</u>

Concentration of HCl = 53.1mM=53.1\times 10^{-3}M

As HCl is a strong acid. So, it dissociates completely to give hydrogen ion and chloride ion.

So, Concentration of hydrogen ion= 53.1\times 10^{-3}M

pH : It is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

pH=-\log [H^+]

pH=-\log (53.1\times 10^{-3})

pH=1.27

<u>(2) 0.223 M KOH</u>

Concentration of KOH = 0.223 M

As KOH is a strong base. So, it dissociates completely to give hydroxide ion and potassium ion.

So, Concentration of hydroxide ion= 0.223 M

Now we have to calculate the pOH.

pOH=-\log [OH^-]

pOH=-\log (0.223)

pOH=0.65

Now we have to calculate the pH.

pH+pOH=14\\\\pH=14-pOH\\\\pH=14-0.65=13.35

<u>(3) 53.1 mM HCl + 0.223 M KOH</u>

Buffer : It is defined as a solution that maintain the pH of the solution by adding the small amount of acid or a base.

It is not a buffer because HCl is a strong acid and KOH is a strong base. Both dissociates completely.

As we know that the pH of strong acid and strong base solution is always 7.

So, the given solution is not a buffer.

Each equation is incorrect. find the errors, then rewrite and balance each equation. cl2 + nai → nacl2 + i nh3 → n + h2 na + o2
VikaD [51]
1) Balanced chemical reaction: Cl₂ + 2NaI → 2NaCl + I₂.
Chlorine and iodine are diatomic molecules.
2) Balanced chemical reaction: 2NH₃ → N₂ + 3H₂.
Nitrogen and hydrogen are diatomic molecules.
3) Balanced chemical reaction: 4Na + O₂ → 2Na₂O.
Sodium in compounds has oxidation number +1 and oxygen -2.
