Answer:

WCl₂, WCl₄, WCl₅, WCl₆

Explanation:

Molar Mass of Tungsten = 184 g/mol

Mass of Chlorine = 35.5 g/mol

In the first compound;

Percentage of tungsten = 72.17 %

Upon solving;

72.17 % = 184

100 % = Total mass

Total mass of compound = 254.95g

Mass of chlorine = 254.95 - 184 = 70.95 (Dividing by 35.35; This is approximately 2 Chlorine atoms.

The Formular is WCl₂

In the second compound;

Percentage of tungsten = 56.45 %

Upon solving;

56.45 % = 184

100 % = Total mass

Total mass of compound = 325.95 g

Mass of chlorine = 325.95 - 184 = 141.95g (Dividing by 35.35; This is approximately 4 Chlorine atoms.

The Formular is WCl₄

In the third compound;

Percentage of tungsten = 50.91 %

Upon solving;

50.91 % = 184

100 % = Total mass

Total mass of compound = 361.42 g

Mass of chlorine = 361.42 - 184 = 177.42 (Dividing by 35.35; This is approximately 5 Chlorine atoms.

The Formular is WCl₅

In the fourth compound;

Percentage of tungsten = 46.39 %

Upon solving;

46.39 % = 184

100 % = Total mass

Total mass of compound = 396.64 g

Mass of chlorine = 396.64 - 184 = 212.64 (Dividing by 35.35; This is approximately 6 Chlorine atoms.

The Formular is WCl₆

MArishka [77]

Answer:

D. because water and mud behaved in a similar way in the past as they do today

Explanation:

One of the fundamental theories in the field of earth science is the theory of uniformitarianism.

Uniformitarianism was proposed by James Hutton in the 18th century in Scotland. The theory states that "geologic processes occurring today have occurred in times past and that the present is the key to past".

The simple meaning of the theory is that, the processes on earth today such as weathering, erosion, e.t.c have also occurred in times past. Those processes still occur today and an understanding of such events today will help us have a better insight into the past.

Therefore, ripple marks just as they form today from action of mud and water would be formed in a similar way in the past.

How could you use two beakers distilled water two hot plates two thermometers and salt to test if adding salt affects the boilin

ICE Princess25 [194]

You are given two beakers, distilled water, two hot plates, two thermometers and salt. These materials are enough in order to test the effect of salt in the boiling point water. To do this, you set up two beakers. In one of the beakers, you add pure distilled water and nothing else. For the other beaker, you put a solution of salt and water. You place these beakers on separate hot plates and place inside the beakers the thermometers. You heat these substances until they boil and then you measure the boiling points of the substances. You would observe that the boiling point of the solution would have a higher boiling point than the pure liquid.

Predict the sign of ΔSsys for each of the following processes. Which are positive? (a) Gasoline vapors mix with air in a car eng

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Positive: a and b

Negative: c

Explanation:

The entropy (S) is the measure of the randomness of the system, and it intends to increase. The randomness can be determined by the energy of the molecules, their velocity and how distance they are between the other molecules.

When the entropy increases, ΔS is positive, when the entropy decreases, ΔS is negative. So, when gasoline mix with air in a car engine, the process intends to continue, the randomness increases and ΔS is positive. When hot air expands, the distance between the molecules increases, so ΔS is positive.

But, when humidity condenses, the molecules stay closer, so there's a decrease in the randomness, then ΔS is negative.

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

reactants: 2 O2

products: 3 CO2, 4 NO2, 6 H2O

Explanation:

In a combustion, a combustible material, which generally is composed of C, H, O, N, and S, is combusted, that is, react with oxygen after a spark was produced; obtaining fire, heat and subproducts, including ashes and gases.

Oxygen is always one of the reactants of a combustion.

If Nitrogen was present in the combustible, NO2 (or other nitrogen oxides) will be produced.

If Carbon was present in the combustible, CO2 will be produced (also CO can be produced).

If Hydrogen was present in the combustible, H2O will be produced.
