Answer:
0.4694 moles of CrCl₃
Explanation:
The balanced equation is:
Cr₂O₃(s) + 3CCl₄(l) → 2CrCl₃(s) + 3COCl₂(aq)
The stoichiometry of the equation is how much moles of the substances must react to form the products, and it's represented by the coefficients of the balanced equation. So, 1 mol of Cr₂O₃ must react with 3 moles of CCl₄ to form 2 moles of CrCl₃ and 3 moles of COCl₂.
The stoichiometry calculus must be on a moles basis. The compounds of interest are Cr₂O₃ and CrCl₃. The molar masses of the elements are:
MCr = 52 g/mol
MCl = 35.5 g/mol
MO = 16 g/mol
So, the molar mass of the Cr₂O₃ is = 2x52 + 3x35.5 = 210.5 g/mol.
The number of moles is the mass divided by the molar mass, so:
n = 49.4/210.5 = 0.2347 mol of Cr₂O₃.
For the stoichiometry:
1 mol of Cr₂O₃ ------------------- 2 moles of CrCl₃
0.2347 mol of Cr₂O₃----------- x
By a simple direct three rule:
x = 0.4694 moles of CrCl₃
Answer: The coefficient in front of AgCl when the equation is properly balanced is 2.
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.
Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which one reactant gives two or more than two products.
Decomposition of silver chloride is represented as:
Thus the coefficient in front of AgCl when the equation is properly balanced is 2.
Answer:
NH3 has greater water solubility due to intermoleculate interactions
Explanation:
Hi:
If we represent the structures of NH3 and SbH3 we can see that they are similar to the naked eye, this is because N and Sb belong to the same group of the periodic table (group 15).
However, the electronegativity of N is greater than that of Sb. The NH3 molecule is polar and can form an intermolecular interaction called hydrogen bridge with water.
Sb is less electronegative than N. The SBH3 molecule forms an intermolecular interaction with water called dipole-induced dipole.
The zone with positive charge density of the water molecule (hydrogens) is oriented towards the zone with positive charge density of SBH3 (the pair of electrons not shared)
Stronger intermolecular junctions allow greater solubility of NH3 molecules.
