Answer:

AlCl₃

Explanation:

Data Given:

Mass of aluminum metal = 1.271 g

Mass of aluminum chloride = 6.280 g

Empirical formula of aluminum chloride = ?

Solution:

First find mass of Chlorine

As 6.280 g of aluminum chloride produced by 1.271 g so

the mass of chlorine in 6.280 g will be 6.280 g -1.271 g)

Mass of chlorine = 5.009 g

Now

Find the number of moles of Al and chlorine in aluminum chloride.

Molar Mass of Al = 26.98 g/mole

Molar mass of Cl =  35.5 g/mol

Mole of Al

Formula Used

                no. of moles = mass in grams / molar mass . . . . . . . . (1)

Put values in equation 1

             no. of moles of Al = 1.271 g / 26.98 g/ mole

             no. of moles of Al = 0.0471

Mole of Chlorine

Formula used

                no. of moles = mass in grams / molar mass . . . . . . . . (1)

Put values in equation 1

             no. of moles of Cl = 5.009 g / 35.5 g/ mole

             no. of moles of Cl = 0.1411

Now we have

Al = 0.0471 moles

Cl = 0.1411 moles

As we Know

Empirical formula shows the simplest ratio of atoms in the molecule but not whole numbers of atoms in a compound.

So,

The ratio of moles of Al to chlorine is

                          Al     :   Cl

                      0.0471     0.1411

Divide the ratio by smallest number to get simplest whole number ratio

                              Al                    :           Cl

                      0.0471 / 0.0471           0.1411/ 0.0471  

           

                               Al     :   Cl

                                1      :   3

The simplest ratio of Al to cl is 1 to 3, so the formula will be

Emperical formula of  aluminum chloride  = AlCl₃

5.Are pure solids included in equilibrium expressions? Explain your answer.
tatiyna

Answer:

Pure solids or liquids are excluded from the equilibrium expression because their effective concentrations stay constant throughout the reaction. The concentration of a pure liquid or solid equals its density divided by its molar mass.

Explanation:

Hope this helps!!!

According to the Brinsted -Lowry. what is an acid ? what is a base ? ​
sasho [114]

Answer:

According to the Brønsted definition, an acid is a substance capable of donating a proton, and a base is a substance capable of accepting a proton. ... The species giving up the proton is HCl, an acid. The species accepting the proton is water, the base. The species Cl- is the conjugate base of HCl.

GIVING 20 POINTS!! Apply Concepts Two chemists each plan an investigation in which they will combine hydrogen gas with chlorine
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

Yes, the investigations will reach similar conclusions about the reactivity of H2 and Cl2

Explanation:

1. The law of multiple proportions says that when elements form compounds, the proportions of the elements in those chemical compounds can be expressed in small whole number ratios.  This means that regardless of whether 1000 times more of the products are used, the reactivity of the products is established by the chemical reaction

2. The law of multiple proportions is an extension of the law of definite composition, which states that compounds will consist of defined ratios of elements.

3. A reaction with more reactants will need more care because more products are produced, which can be toxic

4. H2 and Cl2 reactivity does not depend on the quantities but the chemical properties of each compound
