If 25.16 g of chlorine react with 12.99 g of manganese metal, what is the empirical formula of the compound?

WARRIOR [948]3 years ago

We use the given masses of the reactants to calculate the moles of Mn and Cl. Empirical formula represents the simplest mole ratio of atoms present in a compound.

Moles of Mn = 12.99 g Mn * \frac{1 mol Mn}{54.94 g Mn} = 0.236 mol Mn

Moles of Cl = 25.16 g Cl_{2} *\frac{1 mol Cl_{2}}{70.91 g Cl_{2}} * \frac{2 mol Cl}{1 mol Cl_{2}} = 0.710 mol Cl

Simplest mole ratio: Mn_{\frac{0.236}{0.236}}Cl_{\frac{0.710}{0.236}}

So the empirical formula is MnCl_{3}

olga55 [171]

Answer:

The balloon filled with Helium will effuse more quickly.

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Balloon 1: Has a volume 4.3L , a pressure of 1.68 atm and is filled with 1.21g of Helium

Balloon 2: Has also a volume of 4.3 L and a pressure of 1.68 atm but is filled with 39.63 grams of Xenon

Molar mass of He = 4g/mol

Molar mass of Xe = 131.3 g/mol

Since He is lighter than Xe, the effusion rate for He will be larger than that for Xe, which means the time of effusion for He will be smaller than that for Xe.

The balloon filled with Helium will effuse more quickly.

How does concentration affect boiling point of a solvent?
nalin [4]

Answer / explanation:

How does concentration affect boiling point of a solvent?

The amount by which the boiling point is raised is directly dependent on the concentration of the solute.

The higher the concentration of a solute, the more it is said to be difficult for the solvent molecules to escape into the gas phase.

However, when a non volatile amount of substance is dissolved in a given solvent, the boiling point of the given solvent increases.

The higher the concentration, the more higher the boiling point of a solvent.

It requires a higher temperature for enough solvent molecules to escape , this the boiling point is raised elevatedly

KatRina [158]

Answer:

It is composed primarily of the mineral calcite (CaCO3) and usually contains other minerals, such as clay minerals, micas, quartz, pyrite, iron oxides, and graphite.

Explanation:

Marble can be otherwise called metamorphic rock which is formed as a result of heat application on limestone and pressure of metamorphism. It is composed primarily of the mineral calcite (CaCO3) and usually contains other minerals, such as clay minerals, micas, quartz, pyrite, iron oxides, and graphite.
