Artemon [7]3 years ago

Answer:

The answer to your question is Copper (II) chloride

Explanation:

Data

Limiting reactant = ?

volume of CuCl₂ = 415 ml

[CuCl₂] = 3.0 M

mass of Al = 25 g

Process

1.- Calculate the mass of CuCl₂ in solution

Molarity = moles / volume

moles = Molarity x volume

moles = 3 x 0.415

moles = 1.245

Molar mass of CuCl₂ = 63.5 + (35.5 x 2)

                                  = 63.5 + 71

                                  = 134.5 g

                   134.5 g ----------------------- 1 mol

                      x        ----------------------- 1.245 moles

                      x = (1.245 x 134.5)/1

                      x = 167.5 g of CuCl₂

2.- Balanced chemical reaction

                  3CuCl₂  +  2 Al   ⇒    2AlCl₃  +  3Cu

3.- Calculate proportions

Theoretical proportion = (3 x 134.5)/(2 x 27) = 403.5/54 = 7.47

Experimental proportion = 167.5 g / 25 g = 6.7

4.- Conclusion

As the experimental proportion was lower than the theoretical proportion the limiting reactant is CuCl₂.

Which statement is true of a chemical change?. A.. It involves changes in the molecular structure.. B.. It involves changes in p
drek231 [11]
A is the answer. Chemical changes happen when atomic bonds are broken or created during chemical reactions. Hence, in this case, it involve changes to molecular structure.

- Change in states are physical changes.

- When salts are dissolved in water, you can use Distillation to separate them. Distillation is a physical change as well.

- Dissolving is just physical change.

Which representation of a hydrogen molecule is not correct?
USPshnik [31]

Hydrogen is the element with atomic number one. The representation of the hydrogen molecule with a double bond is incorrect.

<h3>What is a double bond?</h3>

A double bond is a type of chemical bond that involves two pairs or four bonding electrons of the atom in a molecule. They are stronger and shorter bonds compared to single bonds.

A hydrogen molecule can never have a double bond in its molecule as it has only a single electron in its shell and cannot form a double bond due to the lack of four electrons.

Therefore, hydrogen molecules cannot form a double bond.

For each solute, identify the better solvent: water or carbon tetrachloride
Rom4ik [11]

The better solvent for Na₂S (Natrium sulfide)and CH₃OH(methanol): water

The better solvent for C₆H₆(benzene) and Br₂(bromine) : CCl₄

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

In covalent bonds there are differences in electronegativity which causes polarization of the bonds

If the bond in an electron pair is more attracted to one atom, then the covalent bond is polar

This is due to the electron attraction of one atom which is bigger than the other atoms

But the geometrical shape of molecules can make molecules that have polar bonds can be polar or non-polar

The symmetrical shape of the molecule is usually a non-polar molecule

For example on H₂O

This molecule is polar because of the difference in electronegativity where the O atom has a stronger electron attraction when compared to the H atom, so this molecule have positive and negative poles where the negative pole is on the O atom

Polar molecules dissolved in water undergo ionization so they can conduct electricity and are electrolyte,  while non-polar molecules are non-electrolyte.

<em>Polar molecules will dissolve polar molecules and vice versa non-polar molecules can dissolve non-polar molecules. </em>

So water molecules that can be used to test polar and non-polar molecules by dissolving them in water

The size of polarity is usually indicated by the magnitude of the dipole moment

The greater the dipole moment, the more polar the compound is. In non-polar compounds the dipole moment is zero.

water- H₂O is a polar solvent, due to the large electronegativity between O and H atoms, and the shape of the V molecule (asymmetrical)

CCl₄- Carbon tetrachloride is a nonpolar solvent, where C atoms as central and Cl atoms have different electronegativity but because of the symmetrical shape so that the dipole moment is removed and so it is nonpolar

Let see that each of these compounds is polar or non-polar

Na₂S (Natrium sulfide)and CH₃OH(methanol) are ion compounds that can dissolve in polar solvents such as water

C₆H₆(benzene) and Br₂(bromine) are non-polar covalent compounds with symmetrical shapes and do not have free electron pairs that can dissolve in CCl₄

Draw a triacylglycerol (triglyceride) made from glycerol, myristic acid [CH3(CH2)12COOH], palmitic acid [CH3(CH2)14COOH], and ol
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The triglyceride made from glycerol, myristic acid, palmitic acid and cis-oleic acid is shown in the attached pictures.

Explanation:

A triglyceride or triacylglyceride is an ester derived from glycerol and three fatty acids. The fatty acids of this exercise are myristic acid, palmitic acid and oleic acid.

A fatty acid is a biomolecule of lipid nature formed by a long linear hydrocarbon chain, of different length or number of carbon atoms, at the end of which is a carboxyl group.

The myristic acid has a carbon chain of 14 carbon atoms with a carboxyl group at one end.

Palmitic acid has a carbon chain of 16 carbon atoms with a carboxyl group at one end.

Oleic acid has a carbon chain of 18 carbon atoms with a carboxyl group at one end and a double bond at position 9.

Triglyceride is formed by the esterification of the glycerol oxidrile group and the carboxyl acid group.
