The molar mass of carbon is 12, hydrogen is 1, and
nitrogen is 14, hence the ratio are:
C = 38.65 / 12 = 3.22
H = 16.25 / 1 = 16.25
N = 45.09 / 14 = 3.22
Divide the three by the lowest ratio which is 3.22:
C = 3.22 / 3.22 = 1
H = 16.25 / 3.22 = 5
N = 3.22 / 3.22 = 1
So the empirical formula is:
CHN
Answer:
2AlCl3 + 3H2SO4 → Al2(SO4)3 + 6HCl
Explanation:
<span>The student is incorrect because helium has 2 valence electrons and it's in group 18 because the first energy level is full. Although helium is placed in Group 18 which generally has 8 valence electrons, it does not have 8 valence electrons as the student suggested. It was grouped together with the noble gases because it exhibits similar properties with them. </span>
Answer:
Explanation:
M(s) → M (g ) + 20.1 kJ --- ( 1 )
X₂ ( g ) → 2X (g ) + 327.3 kJ ---- ( 2 )
M( s) + 2 X₂(g) → M X₄ (g ) - 98.7 kJ ----- ( 3 )
( 3 ) - 2 x ( 2 ) - ( 1 )
M( s) + 2 X₂(g) - 2 X₂ ( g ) - M(s) → M X₄ (g ) - 98.7 kJ - 2 [ 2X (g ) + 327.3 kJ ] - M (g ) - 20.1 kJ
0 = M X₄ (g ) - 4 X (g ) - M (g ) - 773.4 kJ
4 X (g ) + M (g ) = M X₄ (g ) - 773.4kJ
heat of formation of M X₄ (g ) is - 773.4 kJ
Bond energy of one M - X bond = 773.4 / 4 = 193.4 kJ / mole
