Answer:

Empirical formula is CCl₄

Explanation:

Given data:

Percentage of carbon = 7.70%

Percentage of chlorine = 92.3%

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of Cl = 92.3 / 35.5 = 2.6

Number of gram atoms of C = 7.70 / 12 = 0.64

Atomic ratio:

            C                      :              Cl            

           0.64/0.64        :             2.6/0.64

            1                      :                4        

C : Cl  = 1 : 4

Empirical formula is CCl₄.

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

A)

<u>4, 7, 4, 6</u>

B)

<u>12 moles</u>

Explanation:

NH_{3}(g) + O_{2}(g) \: → NO_{2} + H_{2}O(g)

__↑______↑

8.00 mol | 14.00 mol

________________

NH_{3}(g) + O_{2}(g) \: → NO_{2} + H_{2}O(g)

You can turn this into a system of variables which are solvable.

To do this, create variables for the coefficients of each compound in the reaction respectively.

a(NH_{3}(g)) + b(O_{2}(g)) → \\c(NO_{2}) + d(H_{2}O(g))

Because to be balanced, the count of atoms in each element of the compound correspond to the coefficient of the variable in that compound so that the count of the left (reactant) side is set equal to the right (product) side.

a corresponds to the coefficient of the first compound, b corresponds to the coefficient of the second compound, c corresponds to the coefficient of the third compound, and d corresponds to the coefficient of the fourth compound.

(Reactant = Product)

Reactant: 1a [N] Product: 1c.

Reactant: 3a [H] Product: 2d.

Reactant: 2b [O] Product: 2c + 1d.

Thus the system is:

1a = 1c

3a = 2d

2b = 2c + 1d.

Then just use the substitution methods to solve.

How to determine the relative rates of reactant disappearance and product appearance using reaction stoichiometry
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

For example, the relative rate of a reaction at 20 seconds will be 1/20 or 0.05 s -1, while the average rate of reaction over the first 20 seconds will be the change in mass over that period, divided by the change in time.

A weather balloon is filled with helium that occupies a volume of 5.37 104 L at 0.995 atm and 32.0°C. After it is released, it r
svp [43]

Answer:

The new volume is 63583 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The initial volume of the balloon = 5.37 * 10^4 L

The initial pressure = 0.995 atm

The initial temperature = 32.0 °C = 305.15 K

The pressure decreased to 0.720 atm

The temperature decreased to -11.7 °C = 261.45 K

Step 2: Calculate the new volume

P1*V1 / T1 = P2*V2/T2

⇒with P1 = the initial pressure = 0.995 atm

⇒with V1 = the initial volume = 5.37 *10^4 L

⇒with T1 = the initial temperature = 305.15 K

⇒with P2 = the decreased pressure = 0.720 atm

⇒with V2 = the new volume = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with T2 = the decreased temperature : 261.45 K

(0.995 * 5.37*10^4)/305.15 = (0.720 * V2) / 261.45

V2 = 63583 L

The new volume is 63583 L
