An unknown compound has the following chemical formula: Mg_xCl_2
Art [367]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

number of moles magnesium = 6.80mol

number of moles of chlorine = 13.56mol

To find the complete chemical formula, we should obtain the formula of the compound.

                                Mg                            Cl

Number of

moles                      6.8                           13.56

Dividing

by the smallest      6.8/6.8                    13.56/6.8

                                    1                                2

  The formula of the compound is MgCl₂

This is an ionic compound in which Magnesium loses two electrons that would be gained by Cl atoms requiring just an electron each to complete their octet.

For the following systems at equilibrium C: CaCO3(s) ⇌ CaO(s)+CO2(g) ΔH=+178 kJ/mol D: PCl3(g)+Cl2(g) ⇌ PCl5(g) ΔH=−88 kJ/mol cl
Rama09 [41]

Explanation:

C: CaCO_3(s)\rightleftharpoons CaO(s)+CO_2(g)ΔH=+178 kJ/mol

For an endothermic reaction, heat is getting absorbed during a chemical reaction and is written on the reactant side.

A+\text{heat}\rightleftharpoons B

Any change in the equilibrium is studied on the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle.  This principle states that if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.

Treat heat as a reactant and on increasing a reactant at equilibrium, shifts the reaction in the forward direction.

Increase temperature →  increase in heat → forward direction

Decrease temperature →  decease in heat → backward direction

System C - Increase temperature : Reaction will move forward

System C - Decrease temperature : Reaction will move backward

D: PCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_5(g) ΔH=−88 kJ/mol

The total enthalpy of the reaction comes out to be negative .

The temperature of the surrounding will increase.

For an exothermic reaction, heat is released during a chemical reaction and is written on the product side.

A\rightleftharpoons B+\text{ heat}

Any change in the equilibrium is studied on the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle.  This principle states that if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.

Treat heat as a product and on increasing a product at equilibrium, shifts the reaction in the backward direction.

Increase temperature →  increase in heat → backward direction

Decrease temperature →  decease in heat → forward direction

System D - Increase temperature : Reaction will move backward

System D - Decrease temperature : Reaction will move forward

(a) the temperature on a warm summer day is 87 °f. what is the temperature in °c? (b) many scientific data are reported at 25
olchik [2.2K]

Answers:

              (a)  30.55 °C

              (b) 298 K and 77°F

              (c)  204.44 °C and 477.44 K

              (d)  -320.8 °F and -196 °C

Explanation:

Converting °C into °F;

                                   °F  =  °C × 1.8 + 32

Converting °F into °C;

                                   °C  =  °F - 32 ÷ 1,8

Converting °C into K;

                                   K  =  °C + 273

Converting K into °C;

                                   °C  =  K - 273
