For many years after they were discovered, it was believed that the noble gases could not form compounds. Now we know that belie

f to be incorrect. A mixture of xenon and fluorine gases, confined in a quartz bulb and placed on a windowsill, is found to slowly produce a white solid. Analysis of the compound indicates that it contains 77.55% Xe and 22.45% F by mass.
(a) What is the formula of the compound?
(b) Write a Lewis structure for the compound.
(c) Predict the shape of the molecules of the compound.
(d) What hybridization is consistent with the shape you predicted?

Answer:We are already given with the mass of the Xe and it is 5.08 g. We can calculate for the mass of the fluorine in the compound by subtracting the mass of xenon from the mass of the compound.

 mass of Xenon (Xe) = 5.08 g

 mass of Fluorine (F) = 9.49 g - 5.08 g = 4.41 g

Determine the number of moles of each of the element in the compound. 

   moles of Xenon (Xe) = (5.08 g)(1 mol Xe / 131.29 g of Xe) = 0.0387 mols of Xe

  moles of Fluorine (F) = (4.41 g)(1 mol F/ 19 g of F) = 0.232 mols of F

The empirical formula is therefore,

     Xe(0.0387)F(0.232)

Dividing the numerical coefficient by the lesser number.

    XeF₆

Explain how creativity can play a role in the construction of scientific questions and hypotheses.
sweet-ann [11.9K]
Scientific questions and hypotheses come up frequently while one is engaged in investigating a scientific phenomenon such  as natural geological phenomena as may occur in geological mapping in the field. For example, there may be a question does this canyon or deeply incised valley which is quite straight follow a weakness in the earth's crust like a major fault or the direction of bedding in well bedded sedimentary rocks. In a particular topographic area, some hypotheses which may be developed is that valleys follow geological structure whereas ridges follow resistant rocks like quartzites or quartz sandstones or in the ocean, points or capes may represent resistant quartz sandstones and bays may represent weak soft shales recessively weathering

1. Starting with 9.3 moles of O 2 , how many moles of H 2 S will be needed and how many moles of SO 2 will
enyata [817]

Answer:

Moles of H₂S needed = 6.2 mol

Moles of SO₂ produced = 6.2 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of O₂ = 9.3 mol

Moles of H₂S needed = ?

Moles of SO₂ produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2H₂S + 3O₂      →    2SO₂ + 2H₂O

Now we will compare the moles of oxygen with H₂S.

                  O₂             :           H₂S

                    3             :             2

                   9.3            :         2/3×9.3 = 6.2 mol

Now we will compare the moles of SO₂ with both reactant.

                   O₂             :            SO₂

                    3              :               2

                   9.3            :         2/3×9.3 = 6.2 mol      

                 H₂S             :            SO₂

                    2              :               2

                   6.2            :          6.2 mol      

So 6.2 moles of  SO₂ are produced.
