What is the molecular shape of HCN

1 answer:

3 0

Linear Hydrogen Cyanide. In this example, HCN, the Lewis diagram shows carbon at the center with no lone electron pairs. The carbon and nitrogen are bonded through a triple bond which counts as "one electron pair". Hence the molecule has two electron pairs and is linear<span>.</span>

Compound X has a molar mass of 416.48 g mol

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

P₂Cl₁₀

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Molar mass of compound X = 416.48 g/mol

Percentage of phosphorus (P) = 14.87%

Percentage of Chlorine (Cl) = 85.13%

Molecular formula of X =?

Next, we shall determine the empirical formula of compound X. This can be obtained as follow:

P = 14.87%

Cl = 85.13%

Divide by their molar mass

P = 14.87 / 31 = 0.480

Cl = 85.13 / 35.5 = 2.398

Divide by the smallest

P = 0.480 / 0.480 = 1

Cl = 2.398 / 0.480 = 5

Empirical formula of compound X is PCl₅

Finally, we shall determine the molecular formula of compound X. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of compound X = 416.48 g/mol

Empirical formula = PCl₅

Molecular formula =?

Molecular formula= [Empirical formula]ₙ

[PCl₅]ₙ = 416.48

[31 + (35.5 × 5)]ₙ = 416.48

[31 + 177.5]n = 416.48

208.5n = 416.48

Divide both side by 208.5

n = 416.48 / 208.5

n = 2

Molecular formula = [PCl₅]ₙ

Molecular formula = [PCl₅]₂

Molecular formula = P₂Cl₁₀

Therefore, the molecular formula of compound X is P₂Cl₁₀

Pure magnesium metal is often found as ribbons and can easily burn in the presence of oxygen. when 2.59 g of magnesium ribbon bu

stepan [7]

Burning Mg in the air and reacting with O2 forming a white powder of MnO

So the equation is going to be:
Mn + O2 ⇒ MnO (this equation is not conserved)

to make it equilibrium:
1- First we should put 2Mno to equal the O2 on both sides.
So it will be:
Mg + O2⇒ 2MgO
2- Second we should put 2Mn to equal the Mn on both sides.
2Mg + O2⇒ 2MgO (this equation is conserved)
After putting the physical states the final equilibrium equation is going to be:
Δ
2Mg(s) + O2(g)⇒ 2MgO(s)

Which reaction has the highest atom economy for the production of C02?

In-s [12.5K]

The highest atom economy

2CO + O₂ ⇒ 2CO₂

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

The reaction for the production of CO₂

Required

The highest atom economy

Solution

In reactions, there are sometimes unwanted products that can be said to be a by-product or a waste product. Meanwhile, the desired product can be said to be a useful product, which can be shown as the atom economy

of the reaction

the higher the atomic economy value of a reaction, the smaller the waste/ byproducts produced, so that less energy is wasted

The general formula:

Atom economy = (mass of useful product : mass of all reactants/products) x 100

Atom economy = (total formula masses of useful product : total formula masses of all reactants/products) x 100

So a reaction that only produces one product will have the highest atomic value, namely the reaction in option C
