Answer:

There is 5.56 g of gold for every 1 g of chlorine

Explanation:

The question is to determine the simplest mass ratio of gold to Chlorine in the compound.

Since the mass of gold in the compound compared to chlorine is 15.39 g for every 2.77 g, the mass of gold per gram of chlorine is given as:

15.39 / 2.77 = 5.56 g of gold to two decimal places

Therefore, for every 5.56 g of gold, there is 1 g of chlorine.

Note : The ratio in which different elements combine by mass to form a compound is given by the law of constant composition which states that, "all pure samples of a particular chemical compound contain the same elements combined in the same proportion by mass.

What are two ways condensation differs from boiling?

NARA [144]

Condensation is when vapor liquidizes and gathers on top of a surface, while boiling is turning a liquid into a gas or vapor. They are opposites. In the first, the molecules of the substance split and separate and increase the volume, while in the second they come together and reduce the volume.

You have 4 moles of oxygen gas in a flask. 4 moles of helium gas is added. What happens to the total pressure of the gases in th

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer: The correct option is (c). The total pressure doubles.

Solution:

Initially, only 4 moles of oxygen gas were present in the flask.

$p_{O_2}=Tp_1\times X_{O_2}$ ( $X_{O_2}=\frac{4}{4}$ ) ( according to Dalton's law of partial pressure)
