Answer:
Empirical formula: BH3
Molecular Formula: B2H6
Explanation:
To solve the exercise, we need to know how many boron atoms and how many hydrogen atoms the compound has. We know that of the total weight of the compound, 78.14% correspond to boron and 21.86% to hydrogen. As the weight of the compound is between 27 g and 28 g, using the above percentages we can solve that the compound has between 21.1 g and 21.8 g of boron, and between 5.9 g and 6.1 g of hydrogen:
100% _____ 27 g
78.14% _____ x = 78.14% * 27g / 100% = 21.1 g boron
100% ______27 g
21.86% ______ x = 21.86% * 27g / 100% = 5.9 g hydrogen
100% _____ 28 g
78.14% _____ x = 78.14% * 28g / 100% = 21.8 g boron
100% _____ 28g
21.86% _____ x = 21.86% * 28g / 100% = 6.1 g hydrogen
So, if the atomic weight of boron is 10.8 g, there must be two boron atoms in the compound that sum 21.6 g. The weight of hydrogen is 1 g, so the compound must have six hydrogen atoms.
The molecular formula represents the real amount of atoms that form a compound. Therefore, the molecular formula of the compound is B2H6.
The empirical formula is the minimum expression that represents the proportion of atoms in a compound. For example, ethane has 2 carbon atoms and 6 hydrogen atoms, so its molecular formula is C2H6, however, its empirical formula is CH3. Therefore, the empirical formula of the boron compound is BH3.
Answer:
Monatomic molecule
Explanation:
Each helium atom has 2 electrons, which is already the maximum no. of electrons that can fit in the first electron shell. When the outermost electron shell is full (2 for the first layer, 8 for others), the atom is stable.
Helium atom itself is already stable, so it doesn't need to combine with another helium atom to form a molecule, hence we call it monatomic.
Answer:
The coefficient of Ca(OH)2 is 1
Explanation:
Step 1: unbalanced equation
Ca(OH)2 + HNO3 → Ca(NO3)2 + H2O
Step 2: Balancing the equation
On the right side we have 2x N (in Ca(NO3)2 ) and 1x N on the left side (in HNO3). To balance the amount of N on both sides, we have to multiply HNO3 by 2.
Ca(OH)2 + 2HNO3 → Ca(NO3)2 + H2O
On the left side we have 4x H (2xH in Ca(OH)2 and 2x H in HNO3), on the right side we have 2x H (in H2O). To balance the amount of H on both sides, we have to multiply H2O on the right side, by 2.
Now the equationis balanced.
Ca(OH)2 + 2HNO3 = Ca(NO3)2 + 2H2O
The coefficient of Ca(OH)2 is 1
When sunlight hits the moon's surface, the temperature can reach 260 degrees Fahrenheit (127 degrees Celsius). When the sun goes down, temperatures can dip to minus 280 F (minus 173 C).
Answer:
the reaction will shift towards the “heat”—shifts to the left
Explanation:
To summarize:
o If temperature increases (adding heat), the reaction will shift away from the “heat” term and go in the
endothermic direction.
o If temperature decreases (removing heat), the reaction will shift towards the “heat” term and go in the
exothermic direction.
o NOTE: The endothermic direction is always away from the “heat” term and the exothermic direction is
towards the “heat” term.
Therefore the reaction will shift towards the “heat”—shifts to the left
