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

What force types change the direction of motion
lora16 [44]

Forces affect how objects move. They may cause motion; they may also slow, stop, or change the direction of motion of an object that is already moving. Since force cause changes in the speed or direction of an object, we can say that forces cause changes in velocity. Remember that acceleration is a change in velocity. Let’s say an object is moving along a table on earth, suddenly the finite table ends, resulting in the object being present in the air, which means there is no normal contact force N to combat the force by gravity mg, which is why there is an acceleration downwards. This proves as a projectile motion since the direction of motion start changing from horizontal to vertical. Another example is one throwing an object up. It moves up and slows down, reaching its maximum point, leading to it starting to move downwards. This too is a change in motion.
