The formula of compound is LiClO4.3H2O

<em><u>calculation</u></em>

<em><u> </u></em>find the mole of each element

that is moles for Li,Cl,O and that of H2O

moles = % composition/ molar mass

For Li = 4.330/ 6.94 g/mol= 0.624 moles

Cl=22.10/35.5=0.623 moles

39.89/16 g/mol =2.493 moles

H20= 33.69/18 g/mol= 1.872 moles

find the mole ratio by dividing each moles by smallest number of mole ( 0.624 moles)

that is for Li= 0.624/0.623= 1

Cl= 0.623/0.623=1

O = 2.493/0.623 =4

H2O= 1.872/0.623=3

<h3>Therefore the formula=LiClO4.3H2O</h3><h3 />

A 1.555-g sample of baking soda decomposes with heat to produce 0.991 g Na2CO3. Refer to Example Exercise 14.l and show the calc

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

a) 101%

b)59.7%

Explanation:

The equation for the thermal decomposition of baking soda is shown;

2NaHCO3 → Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2

Number of moles of baking soda= mass/molar mass= 1.555g/84.007 g/mol = 0.0185 moles

From the reaction equation;

2 moles of baking soda yields 1 mole of sodium carbonate

0.0185 moles of baking soda will yield = 0.0185 moles ×1 /2 = 9.25 ×10^-3 moles of sodium carbonate.

Therefore, mass of sodium carbonate= 9.25 ×10^-3 moles × 106gmol-1= 0.9805 g of sodium carbonate. This is the theoretical yield of sodium carbonate.

%yield = actual yield/theoretical yield ×100

% yield = 0.991/0.9805 ×100

%yield = 101%

Since ;

2NaHCO3 → Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2

And H2O + CO2 ---> H2CO3

Hence I can write, 2NaHCO3 → Na2CO3 + H2CO3

Molar mass of H2CO3= 62.03 gmol-1

Molar mass of baking soda= 84 gmol-1

Therefore, mass of baking soda=

0.325/62.03 × 2 × 84 = 0.88 g of NaHCO3

% of NaHCO3= 0.88/1.473 × 100 = 59.7%

What accelerates the protons in the LHC?

belka [17]

Answer:

CERN uses a series of particle accelerators to accelerate protons to their end speeds in the LHC. The first accelerator is the linear accelerator Linac 2. At one end of Linac 2, hydrogen from a bottle is passed through an electric field to strip off the electrons, leaving positively charged protons.

How does the electron configuration of elements within the same group compare? (A.) They all have their valence electrons in the

lesya [120]

Answer:

B.They all have their valence electrons in the same type of subshell

Explanation:

The electron configurations of elements in the same group (column) of the periodic table have them in the same type of subshell.
But the subshells may be of different shells. Thus , the energies of them need not be the same.
For example , The Alkalai Metals are found in the first column of the periodic table Group IA. This set of elements all have valence electrons in only the ' $s$ ' orbital and because they are in the first column they all have $s^{1}$ configuration. i.e,

H $1s^1$
Li $1s^2 2s^1$
Na $1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^1$
K $1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^64s^1$

2. Why do you think electroplated jewelleries are in demand?<br> Chemistry plsss

Ivan

Explanation:

Electroplated jeweleries are in demand because firstly they are as shiny and attractive as real jeweleries, they are also light weighted and cost effective.
