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

1 answer:

6 0

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 $MnCl_{3}$

Given the initial rate data for the reaction A + B –––> C, determine the rate expression for the reaction.

umka21 [38]

Answer:

B) Δ[C]/Δt = 3,60x10⁻² M⁻¹s⁻¹ [A] [B]

Explanation:

For the reaction A + B → C

The formula for rate of reaction is:

Δ[C]/Δt = k [A] [B]

As you have [A], [B] and Δ[C]/Δt information you can multiply [A] times [B] and take this value as X and Δ[C]/Δt as Y. The slope of this lineal regression will be k.

Thus, you must obtain:

y = 3,60x10⁻² X

Thus, rate of reaction is:

B) Δ[C]/Δt = 3,60x10⁻² M⁻¹s⁻¹ [A] [B]

I hope it helps!

Predict the initial and isolated products for the reaction. The starting material is a 6 carbon chain where there is a triple bo

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

This reaction is known as mercuric ion catalyzed hydration of alkynes.

The first step in the reaction is attack of the mercuric ion on the carbon-carbon triple bond, a bridged intermediate is formed. This bridged intermediate is attacked by water molecule to give an organomercury enol. This undergoes keto-enol tautomerism, proton transfer to the keto group yields an oxonium ion, loss of the mercuric ion now gives equilibrium keto and enol forms of the compound. The keto form is favoured over the enol form.

The temperature of a 95.4 g piece of Cu increases from 25.0 °C to 48.0 °C when the Cu absorbs 849 J of heat. What is the specifc

melisa1 [442]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

0.387 J/g°C

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

To calculate the amount of heat absorbed or released by a substance we need to know its mass, change in temperature and its specific heat capacity.
Then to get quantity of heat absorbed or lost we multiply mass by specific heat capacity and change in temperature.
That is, Q = mcΔT

in our question we are given;

Mass of copper, m as 95.4 g

Initial temperature = 25 °C

Final temperature = 48 °C

Thus, change in temperature, ΔT = 23°C

Quantity of heat absorbed, Q as 849 J

We are required to calculate the specific heat capacity of copper

Rearranging the formula we get

c = Q ÷ mΔT

Therefore,

Specific heat capacity, c = 849 J ÷ (95.4 g × 23°C)

= 0.3869 J/g°C

= 0.387 J/g°C

Therefore, the specific heat capacity of copper is 0.387 J/g°C

The molecules of a substance must have what characteristics in order to be flexible

Goryan [66]

Answer:
<span>The molecules of a substance which must have the <u>a</u></span><u>bility to move past one another</u> are said to be flexible.

Explanation:
Those substances are said to be flexible which can be bent without breaking. There are many substances which are hard in nature but still can be bent. The hardness of such materials is due to strong interactions between the molecules and the flexibility comes due to their amorphous backbone. Therefore, greater the crystalline level of macromolecules lesser is the flexibility and greater the amorphous character greater is the flexibility and vice versa. Also, the flexibility of polymers is increased by adding plastisizers in it. Plastisizers make the hard polymers flexible by breaking the crosslinkers and enabling the macromolecules to move past one another.
