Answer:

0.24%

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Measured value = 42.1 g

Actual value = 42 g

Percentage error =?

Percentage error can be obtained by using the following formula:

Percentage error = |Measured value – Actual value | / Actual value × 100

With the above formula, we can obtain the percentage error as follow:

Measured value = 42.1 g

Actual value = 42 g

Percentage error =?

Percentage error = |42.1 – 42| / 42 × 100

Percentage error = 0.1/42 × 100

Percentage error = 10/42

Percentage error = 0.24%

Therefore, the percentage error is 0.24%

When molten sulfur reacts with chlorine gas, a vile-smelling orange liquid forms that has an empirical formula of SCl. The struc

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

The structure is shown below.

Explanation:

The formal charge (FC) is the charge that is more close to the actual charge in the real molecules and ions. It can be calculated based on the number of valence electrons (V), the shared electrons (S) and the electrons in the lone pairs (L) by the equation:

FC = V - (L + S/2)

Sulfur is in group 16 of the periodic table, so it has 6 valence electrons, and chlorine is from group 17 of the periodic table, and so it has 7 valence electrons. Chlorine can share only one electron, so it is stable. Sulfur can expand its octet (because it's from the third period) and can have more than 8 electrons when stable.

The possible formulas, from the empiric one, are:

SCl, S₂Cl₂, and S₃Cl₃.

To have FC = 0, chlorine must done only one bond, because S = 2, and L = 6, so:

FC = 7 - (6 + 2/2) = 0

So, it can not be the central atom of a structure. In the SCl, it will hav only a simple bond, so for sulfur, S = 2, and L = 4 (only the lone pairs are counted)

FC = 6 - (4+ 2/2) = +1

For S₂Cl₂, the two sulfurs must be bonded to a simple bond, and each one to one chlorine, thus, for both od them S = 4, and L = 4. so

FC = 6 - (4 + 4/2) = 0

So, it is the correct structure. The lewis structure represents the bonds by lines and the lone pairs of electrons by dots, and it is shown below.

The vapor pressure of ethanol is 1.00 × 102 mmHg at 34.90°C. What is its vapor pressure at 60.21°C? (ΔHvap for ethanol is 39.3 k

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The vapor pressure at 60.21°C is 327 mmHg.

Explanation:

Given the vapor pressure of ethanol at 34.90°C is 102 mmHg.

We need to find vapor pressure at 60.21°C.

The Clausius-Clapeyron equation is often used to find the vapor pressure of pure liquid.

$ln(\frac{P_2}{P_1})=\frac{\Delta_{vap}H}{R}(\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2})$

We have given in the question

$P_1=102\ mmHg$

$T_1=34.90\°\ C=34.90+273.15=308.05\ K\\T_2=60.21\°\ C=60.21+273.15=333.36\ K\\\Delta{vap}H=39.3 kJ/mol$

And $R$ is the Universal Gas Constant.

$R=0.008 314 kJ/Kmol$

$ln(\frac{P_2}{102})=\frac{39.3}{0.008314}(\frac{1}{308.05}-\frac{1}{333.36})\\\\ln(\frac{P_2}{102})=4726.967(\frac{333.36-308.05}{333.36\times308.05})\\\\ln(\frac{P_2}{102})=4726.967(\frac{25.31}{333.36\times308.05})\\\\ln(\frac{P_2}{102})=4726.967(\frac{25.31}{102691.548})\\\\ln(\frac{P_2}{102})=1.165$

Taking inverse log both side we get,

$\frac{P_2}{102}=e^{1.165}\\\\P_2=102\times 3.20\ mmHg\\P_2=327\ mmHg$
