What is the empirical formula of a compound that contains 75% Ag and 25% Cl by mass

Chemistry

lesya [120]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The answer to your question is     AgCl

Explanation:

Data

Silver = Ag = 75%

Chlorine = Cl = 25%

1.- Convert percent numbers to grams

Silver = 75 g

Chlorine = 25 g

2.- Calculate the moles of each element

Mass number Ag = 108 g

Mass number Cl = 35.5 g

                            108 g of Ag ------------------  1 mol

                              75 g of Ag ------------------   x

                                x = (75 x 1) / 108

                                x = 75 / 108

                                x = 0.69 moles

                            35.5 g of Cl ------------------ 1 mol

                             25 g of Cl    -----------------   x

                                    x = (25 x 1) / 35.5

                                    x = 0.70 moles

3.- Divide by the lowest number of moles

Ag = 0.69/0.69 = 1

Cl = 0.70 / 0.69 = 1.02 ≈ 1

4.- Write the empirical formula

                                                 Ag₁ Cl₁  = AgCl

Why does liquid stay at a constant temperature while it is boiling?
GaryK [48]
It is because say water boils at 212 F, if it goes higher at 213 it would get so much heat and energy it turns into a gas, so it cannot stay a liquid with 213 because at that point it would be gas, thus when water reaches 212 it's max if it goes any higher it will be gas

80.0 mL of 0.30 M NaOH and 80.0 mL of 0.30 M HCl are mixed together. What is the approximate pH
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

  • <u><em>Neutral</em></u>

Explanation:

The number of moles of solute is equal to product of the molar concentration (molarity) and the volume (in liters) of solution.

Since the volumes and the molar concentrations of the<em> NaOH </em>and <em>HCl </em>solutions mixed are equal, each one of them contributes the same number of moles of solute.

Since every mol of NaOH produces one mol of OH⁻ ions and every mol of HCl produces one mol of H⁺ ion, the number of moles of OH ⁻ and H⁺ in solution are equal.

Thus, OH⁻ and H⁺ ions will be neutralized by the reaction:

  • OH⁻ (aq) + H⁺ (aq) ⇄ H₂O (l)

Which is strongly shifted to the right and has <em>neutral pH</em>.

Hence, you conclude that the approximate <em>pH of the solution is neutral.</em>

How many electrons would be found in the Ion who’s symbol is I-
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

54

Explanation:

Given symbol of the element:

                   I⁻

Number of electrons found in an ion with the symbol:

  This is a iodine ion:

         For an atom of iodine:

                   Electrons  = 53

                   Protons  = 53

                   Neutrons  = 74

An ion of iodine is one that has lost or gained electrons.

For this one, we have a negatively charged ion which implies that the number of electrons is 1 more than that of the protons.

  So, number of electrons  = 53 + 1  = 54

The number of electrons in this ion is 54
