You can compare the strength of the hydrogen bonding by comparing the electronegativities of the other elements. All the four elements, Br, F, Cl and I belong to the same group in the periodic table: group 17 named halogens. Then the kind of bonding they form is similar: polar covalent. You must know the trend of the electronegativities in the periodic table. Electronegativity decrease when you down across a group. Then the electronegativity of F is the higher of the group (indeed, it is the highest of all the 118 elements) . The higher the electronegativity the stronger the attraction that the halogen attracts the electrons and the stronger the hydorgen bonding. Then, the conclusion is that HF has the strongest hydrogen bonding.

deff fn [24]

The empirical formula of the oxide is Co₂O₃.

Step 1. Calculate the mass of oxygen

Your reaction is

Cobalt + oxygen ⟶ cobalt oxide

29.05 g + x g ⟶ 40.88 g

According to the Law of Conservation of Mass, the total mass of the reactants must equal the total mass of the products. Thus,

29.05 g + x g ⟶ 40.88 g

x = 40.88 – 29.05 = 11.83

Step 2. Calculate the moles of each element

The empirical formula is the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound.

The ratio of atoms is the same as the ratio of moles.

So, our job is to calculate the molar ratio of Co to O.

Moles of Co = 29.05 g Co × (1 mol Co /(58.93 g Co) = 0.492 96 mol Co

Moles of O = 11.83 g O × (1 mol O/16.00 g O) = 0.739 38 mol O

Step 3. Calculate the molar ratio of the elements

Divide each number by the smaller number of moles

Co:O = 0.429 26:0.739 38 = 1:1.4999

Step 4. Multiply each number by a factor that makes the ratio close to whole numbers

Multiply by 2. Then

Co:O = 2:2.998 ≈ 2:3

Step 5: Write the empirical formula

EF = Co₂O₃

NeTakaya

Answer is: decomposition.

Balanced chemical reaction: H₂CO₃ → CO₂ + H₂O.
H₂CO₃ is carbonic acid.
CO₂ is carbon (IV) oxide or carbon dioxide.
Chemical decomposition is the separation of a single chemical compound (in this example carbonic acid) into its two or more simpler compounds (in this example water and carbon dioxide).

How many mL of a 0.375 M solution can be made from 35 g of calcium phosphate?

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

300 mL

Explanation:

the unit formula of calcium phosphate is Ca3(PO4)2

molar mass of Ca3(PO4)2 = (3×40 + 2×31 + 8×16) g/mol = 310 g/mol

n = m/M = 35 g/(310 g/mol)

c = n/V

V = n/c = [35 g/(310 g/mol)]/0.375 mol/L

V = 0.30 L = 300 mL
