Identify some other substances (besides KCl) that might give a positive test for chloride upon addition of AgNO3. Based on the r

eactant used in your experiment, do you think it is reasonable to exclude these types of substances as contaminants that would give a false positive when you tested your reaction residue to verify that it is KCl?

Answer:

Other substances that give a positive test with AgNO3 are other chlorides present, iodides and bromide. However iodides and bromides have different colours hence they will not give a false positive test for KCl. Other chlorides present may lead to a false positive test for KCl.

Explanation:

In the qualitative determination of halogen ions, silver nitrate solution is used. Various halide ions give various colours of precipitate with silver nitrate. Chlorides yield a white precipitate, bromides yield a cream precipitate while iodides yield a yellow precipitate. All these ions or some of them may be present in the system.

However, if other chlorides are present, they will also yield a white precipitate just as KCl leading to a false positive test for KCl. Since other halogen ions yield precipitates of different colours, they don't lead to a false test for KCl. We can exclude other halides from the tendency to lead us to a false positive test for KCl but not other chlorides.

HELP ASAP PLZ!!!! Find the mass of each substance. Show your work.
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

A. m C5H12 = 108.23 g

B. m F2 = 547.142 g

C. m Ca(CN)2 = 71.85 g

Explanation:

  • mass (m) = mol (n) × molecular weigth (Mw)

∴ Mw C5H12 = ((12.011)(5)) + ((1.008)(12)) = 72.151 g/mol C5H12

∴ Mw F2 = (18.998)(2) = 37.996 g/mol F2

∴ Mw = Ca(CN)2 = 40.078+((12.011+14.007)(2)) = 92.114 g/mol Ca(CN)2

A. m C5H12 = ( 1.50 mol)×(72.151 g/mol) = 108.23 g C5H12

B. m F2 = (14.4 mol)×(37.996 g/mol) = 547.142 g F2

C. m Ca(CN)2 = (0.780 mol)×(92.114 g/mol) = 71.85 g Ca(CN)2

HELP ME PLEASE (brainliest)
Aloiza [94]

Answer: i would say D or the last one.

Explanation: According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the products in a chemical reaction must equal the mass of the reactants. The law of conservation of mass is useful for a number of calculations and can be used to solve for unknown masses, such the amount of gas consumed or produced during a reaction.

Hope this helps :) Can u plz mark me branliest
