Phosphorus pentachloride reacts with water to form hydrochloric acid and phosphoric acid. How many total moles of acid are forme

Answer:

0,13 moles of acid are produced

Explanation:

The reaction of the problem is:

PCl₅ + 4H₂O → 5HCl + H₃PO₄

Based on the reaction, 1 mole of PCl₅ produces 6 moles of acid (5 moles of HCl + 1 mole of H₃PO₄).

The molecular mass of PCl₅ is:

1P = 30,97g/mol + 5Cl = 5×35,45g/mol = <em>208,24 g/mol</em>

That means 4,5g of PCl₅ are:

4,5g PCl₅×(1mol / 208,24g) = 0,0216 moles of PCl₅. As 1 mole of PCl₅ produces 6 moles of acid, 0,0216 moles of PCl₅ produce:

0,0216 moles PCl₅ × (6 moles acid / mole of PCl₅) =

<em>0,13 moles of acid are produced</em>

I hope it helps!

Knowing the molarity of a solution is more meaningful than knowing whether a solution is dilute or concentrated. explain.
ser-zykov [4K]
Molarity is a measure of a solution's concentration calculation by getting the ratio of the number of moles of solute to the total volume of solution. This has a unit of M or molar, equivalent to mole/L. 

It is more important and meaningful to know the molarity rather than if the solution is dilute or concentrated because molarity gives the QUANTITATIVE approach of knowing the concentration while the second one only gives us the QUALITATIVE description of the solution. Hence, we are able to calculate for other unknown parameters if we have the molarity known.

What would be the mass in grams of 1.204 x 1024 molecules of sulfur dioxide
melomori [17]

Answer:

mass of sulfur = 96 g

Explanation:

no of moles of sulfur dioxide in 1.204\times 10^{24} molecules = \frac{1.204\times 10^{24}}{avagadro number }= \frac{1.204\times 10^{24}}{6.023\times 10^{23}}

                                       = 2 moles

therefore mass of sulfur dioxide = moles×atomic number

                                                      =2×(16+32)

                                                      =96

How does sediment form?
Andrews [41]
Sediment is solid material that is moved and deposited in a new location. Sediment can consist of rocks and minerals, as well as the remains of plants and animals. It can be as small as a grain of sand or as large as a boulder. Sediment moves from one place to another through the process of erosion.
