A metal, M , of atomic mass 56 amu reacts with chlorine to form a salt that can be represented as MClx. A boiling point elevatio

n experiment is performed to determine the subscript x , and therefore, the formula of the salt. A 22.9 g sample of the salt is dissolved in 100.0 g of water and the boiling point of the solution is found to be 375.93 K. Find the formula of the salt. Assume complete dissociation of the salt in solution g

Answer:

Formula for the salt: MCl₃

Explanation:

MClₓ → M⁺  +  xCl⁻

We apply the colligative property of boiliing point elevation.

We convert the boiling T° to °C

375.93 K - 273K = 102.93°C

ΔT = Kb . m . i

where ΔT means the difference of temperature, Keb, the ebulloscopic constant for water, m the molality of solution (mol of solute/kg of solvent) and i, the Van't Hoff factor (numbers of ions dissolved)

ΔT = 102.93°C - 100°C = 2.93°C

Kb = 0.512 °C/m

We replace data: 2.93°C = 0.512 °C/m . m . i

i = x + 1 (according to the equation)

22.9 g / (56g/m + 35.45x) = moles of salt / 0.1kg = molality

We have calculated the moles of salt in order to determine the molar mass, cause we do not have the data. We replace

2.93°C = 0.512 °C/m . [22.9 g / (56g/m + 35.45x)] / 0.1kg . (x+1)

2.93°C / 0.512 m/°C = [22.9 g / (56g/m + 35.45x)] / 0.1kg . (x+1)

5.72 m = [22.9 g / (56g/m + 35.45x)]/ 0.1 (x+1)

5.72 . 0.1 / [22.9 g / (56g/m + 35.45x)] = x+1

0.572 / (22.9 g / (56g/m + 35.45x) = x+1

0.572 (56 + 35.45x) / 22.9 = x+1

0.572 (56 + 35.45x) = 22.9x + 22.9

32.03 + 20.27x = 22.9x + 22.9

9.13 = 2.62x

x = 3.48 ≅ 3

The atmosphere's variable gases that most influence the greenhouse effect are _____. nitrogen and oxygen argon and carbon dioxid
Katena32 [7]
The correct answer is carbon dioxide and water vapor

These negative gasses get modified and then remain in the atmosphere without the possibility of leaving, which is why the greenhouse effect occurs.

The image formed by a lens may be real or virtual. The image formed by a lens is always virtual.
amid [387]
There are types of lens; concave and convex lens.
The concave lens is a lens which has an inward curve in the middle, that is, the edges of the curve are thicker than the center of the lens, because of this, any light that enter the lens will spread out [diverge]. An image will look smaller and upright when viewed by a concave lens. Image formed by concave lens are usually VIRTUAL. 
A concave lens will produce a real image ONLY if the object is located beyond the focal point of the lens.
A convex lens is a converging lens, this is because, the center of the lens is thicker than its edges. Any ray of light that passes through the lens will converge at the middle of the lens at point called principal focus.  A convex lens produce a VIRTUAL image when the object is placed infront of the focal point. The virtual image formed is always magnified and upright.<span />

What is the volume, in cubic meters, of an object that is 0.21 m long, 4.7 m wide, and 5.3 m high?
oee [108]

Answer:

The formula for volume of a rectangle is length multiply by width multiply thus, 0.25 m multiply 6.1 m multiply by 4.9 m = 7.5m^3.

Explanation:

the least number of significant figures is 2 thus the final answer will have the same number of significant figures. 7.5m^3

Volume of 14.00g of nitrogen at 5.64atm and 315k
VikaD [51]

The volume of a 14.00g of nitrogen at 5.64atm and 315K is 4.59L.

<h3>How to calculate volume?</h3>

The volume of an ideal gas can be calculated using the following ideal gas equation formula;

PV = nRT

Where;

  • P = pressure (atm)
  • V = volume (L)
  • n = number of moles
  • R = gas law constant
  • T = temperature

An ideal gas is a hypothetical gas, whose molecules exhibit no interaction, and undergo elastic collision with each other and with the walls of the container.

The number of moles in 14g of nitrogen can be calculated as follows:

moles = 14g ÷ 14g/mol = 1mol

5.64 × V = 1 × 0.0821 × 315

5.64V = 25.86

V = 25.86 ÷ 5.64

V = 4.59L

Therefore, 4.59L is the volume of the gas
