Imagine you are given a mystery element. It is , however a discovered and known element . You may perform a maximum of two obser

vations or tests to determine its identity. Time and money is critical. Getting by with a single test is preferable. Pick your two tests , number them as 1 and 2 and justify why you think these two will certainly be enough ( and why the first could be enough by itself).
The available tests are classification into metal , not metal , or metalliod, count of valence electrons , count of electron shells , atomic radius , electronegativity , first ionization energy , melting point , and boiling point

I would choose count of electron shells and count of valence electrons. The electron configuration of each element is fixed and can be used to determine the element's identity. By counting the electron shells, you can have an idea which part of the periodic table the mystery element lies, and by determining the number of valence electrons (outermost shell), you can pinpoint the exact identity of the mystery element.

What mass of phosphorus and of chlorine is needed to produce 87 g of pentachloride if the reaction yield is 60%?
Anna11 [10]

Hey there!

theoretical yield =  (87* 100 ) / 60 = 145 g of phosphorous pentachloride

the reaction for this process is :

molar mass P2O5 => 239.2125 g/mol

molar mass P4 => 123.90 g/mol

molar mass Cl2 => 70.9060 g/mol

P4 + 5 Cl2   -------------->  2 P2Cl5

moles of P2O5 :

145 g / 239.2125  => 0.6062 moles of P2O5

Therefore:

moles of P4 = 0.6062 mol / 2 =>  0.3031 moles

moles of Cl2 = 5/2 * 0.6062 mol  = 1.5154 moles

mass of P4 ( phosphours ) = 0.3031 mol * 123.90 => 37.554 grams

mass of Cl2 ( chlorine ) = 1.5154 mol  * 70.9060 => 107.45 grams


Hope That helps!

The first part of a balanced chemical equation for a chemical reaction is shown below:
Bond [772]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 6

Explanation:

Data

              Cu  +  2AgNO₃   ⇒  

To find the answer, count the number of each element in the reactants

Element                Quantity

Copper                        1

Silver                           2

Nitrogen                      1

Oxygen                        6

Then, in the products, there must be 6 oxygens so in the products there must be 6 oxygens so the reaction is balanced.
