Answer:

(C) CBr₄

Explanation:

The compound CCl₄ has one carbon atom (group 14) and 4 chlorine atoms (halogens). On the basis of the periodic properties, other 4 halogens bonded to carbon would also present nonflammable properties like those of CCl₄ -and thus they could be used as a fire-resistant chemical-, that's why the answer is C) CBr₄

Between a water molecule and an anion, like Cl-, a _____A_____ occurs between a _____B_____ of the water molecule and the anion.
AVprozaik [17]

Between a water molecule and an anion, like Cl-, a hydrogen bon occurs between hydrogen atom of the water molecule and the anion.

<h3>What is hydrogen bond?</h3>

Hydrogen bond is a weak bond between two molecules resulting from an electrostatic attraction between a proton in one molecule and an electronegative atom in the other. Hydrogen atom in water molecule attract anion due to presence of hydrogen bond.

So we can conclude that hydrogen bond occurs between hydrogen atom of the water molecule and the anion.

9. Assuming all other conditions are constant, what is the new pressure of a gas if the original pressure is 50 kPa and the Kelv
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Option a (100 kPa) is the appropriate option.

Explanation:

The given value is:

Original pressure,

P₁ = 50 kPa

Let the new pressure be "x".

Now,

⇒  \frac{P1}{T_1} =\frac{P_2}{T_2}

On substituting the values, we get

⇒  \frac{50}{T_1} =\frac{x}{2T_1}

On applying cross-multiplication, we get

⇒  x = 50\times 2

⇒     =100 \ kPa

Thus the answer above is the right one.

In a chemical reaction, sulfur (S8) combines with copper to give a pure compound. If you start with 1.000 g of sulfur (S8) and o
Airida [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The empirical formula for the given compound is Cu_2S

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Mass of pure compound containing copper and sulfur = 4.963 g

Mass of S = 1.000 g

Mass of Cu = (4.963 - 1.000) g = 3.963 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

  • <u>Step 1:</u> Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Copper =\frac{\text{Given mass of Copper}}{\text{Molar mass of Copper}}=\frac{3.963g}{63.55g/mole}=0.0624moles

Moles of Sulfur = \frac{\text{Given mass of Sulfur}}{\text{Molar mass of Sulfur}}=\frac{1.000g}{32g/mole}=0.0312moles

  • <u>Step 2:</u> Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.0312 moles.

For Copper = \frac{0.0624}{0.0312}=2

For Sulfur = \frac{0.0312}{0.0312}=1

<u>Step 3:</u> Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of Cu : S = 2 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is Cu_2S
