Answer:

The right choice is CHCl₃

Explanation:

  • <u>To find the empirical formula firstly, change the mass to moles.</u>

For Carbon :

no. of moles = (mass / molar mass) = (5.03 g / 12  g/mol )=  0.42 mol

<u><em>For Hydrogen  :</em></u>

no. of moles = (mass / molar mass) = (0.42 g / 1  g/mol )=  0.42 mol

<u><em>For Chlorine :</em></u>

no. of moles = (mass / molar mass) = (44.5 g / 35.5 g/mol )=  1.25 mol

The ratio for Carbon and Hydrogen is  1 : 1

0.42 mol / 042 mol =1.00

  • <u> Then find a ratio between the moles. </u>

The ratio of Chlorine to both Carbon and Hydrogen is 3:1

1.25 mol / 0.42 mol = 2.98 ≅ 3

So the ratio is 1 C : 1 H : 3 Cl.

So, the right choice is CHCl₃

Carbon usually forms four bonds one to Hydrogen and 3 to Chlorine atoms.

Chlorine usually forms one bond to Carbon atom.

Hydrogen usually forms one bond Carbon atom.

Answer:

CHCl₃

Explanation :

In order to deduce the empirical fomula of the compound, we first express the masses given as moles:

Elements C H Cl

Masses given(g) 5.03 0.42 44.5

Then divide through by their respective molar masses:

Molar mass 12 1 35.5

(g/mol)

Number of

Moles(mol) 0.42 0.42 1.254

Dividing by

the smallest(0.42) 1 1 3

The empirical formula of the compound is

CHCl₃

Answer:

1. Acids

2. Its molecular arrangement

3. Very acidic

4. Unsaturated

5. Apple juice

Explanation:

1. Acids have pH less than 7

2. Water molecules have a polar arrangement of the oxygen and hydrogen atoms—one side (hydrogen) has a positive electrical charge and the other side (oxygen) had a negative charge.3. Very acidic

4. Unsaturated solutions are solutions in which the amount of dissolved solute is less than the saturation point of the solvent (at that specific temperature gradient).

5. The lower the pH, the more hydrogen molecules.

Which equation best represents the net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when aqueous solutions of potassium phosphate
laiz [17]

Answer:

2PO₄³⁻ + 3Fe²⁺ → Fe₃(PO₄)₂(s)

Explanation:

In a net ionic equation you list <em>only the ions that are participating in the reaction. </em>

When potassium phosphate, K₃PO₄, reacts with iron (II) nitrate, Fe(NO₃)₂ producing iron (II) phosphate, Fe₃(PO₄)₂ that is an insoluble salt. The reaction is:

2K₃PO₄ + 3 Fe(NO₃)₂ → Fe₃(PO₄)₂(s) + 6NO₃⁻ + 6K⁺

The ionic equation is:

6K⁺ + 2PO₄³⁻ + 3Fe²⁺ + 6NO₃⁻→ Fe₃(PO₄)₂(s) + 6NO₃⁻ + 6K⁺

Subtracting the K⁺ and NO₃⁻ ions that are not participating in the reaction, the net ionic equation is:

<h3>2PO₄³⁻ + 3Fe²⁺ → Fe₃(PO₄)₂(s)</h3>
