Given :

A certain compound contains 4.0 g of calcium and 7.1 g of chlorine.

Its relative molecular mass is 111.

To Find :

Its empirical and molecular formulas.

Solution :

Moles of calcium , n_1=\dfrac{4}{40}=0.1\ moles.

Moles of chlorine , n_2=\dfrac{7.1}{35.45}=0.2\ moles .

The ratio calcium and chlorine is 1 : 2 .

So , the empirical formula is CaCl_2 .

Now , molecular mass of CaCl_2 is :

M=40+(2\times 35.45)\\\\M=110.9\ g

So , n=\dfrac{111}{110.9} \approx1

Therefore , the molecular formula is also CaCl_2 .

Hence , this is the required solution .

Serhud [2]

Answer:

0.00011765 M

Explanation:

When a solution is prepared by dilution, the volumes and concentrations are related by:

C1*V1 = C2*V2

Where C1 is the concentration of the solution 1, V1 is the volume of the solution 1, C2 is the concentration of solution 2, and V2 is the volume of solution 2.

The stock solution is the solution 1, and the standard solution, the solution 2, so:

0.0001974*29.80 = C2*50.00

C2 = 0.00011765 M

Calculate the volume 3.00 moles of a gas will occupy at 24.0˚C and 1.003 atm. *
vitfil [10]

Answer: 72.93 litres

Explanation:

Given that:

Volume of gas (V) = ?

Temperature (T) = 24.0°C

Convert 24.0°C to Kelvin by adding 273

(24.0°C + 273 = 297K)

Pressure (P) = 1.003 atm

Number of moles (n) = 3 moles

Molar gas constant (R) is a constant with a value of 0.0821 atm L K-1 mol-1

Then, apply ideal gas equation

pV = nRT

1.003 atm x V = 3.00 moles x 0.0821 atm L K-1 mol-1 x 297K

1.003 atm•V = 73.15 atm•L

Divide both sides by 1.003 atm

1.003 atm•V/1.003 atm = 73.15 atm•L/1.003 atm

V = 72.93 L

Thus, the volume of the gas is 72.93 litres

Which element melts at room temperature?
just olya [345]
Francium is an element that melts at room temperature. Francium is a highly reactive element, and only contains one valence electron, which is very ironic in my opinion.

How many grams of NaCI per kilogram of water are present in a 2.7 molal aqueous solution​
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

157.79 g

Explanation:

The definition of molality is:

  • molality = moles of solute / kilogram of solvent

This means that in a 2.7 molal solution, there are 2.7 moles of NaCl per kilogram of water.

So now w<u>e convert those 2.7 moles of NaCl to grams</u>, using its <em>molar mass</em>:

  • 2.7 mol * 58.44 g/mol = 157.79 g
