The charge of iron in the compound is 2+ and the compound is iron (II) chloride which can be represented using the chemical formula FeCl₂.

FURTHER EXPLANATION

To answer this problem, some key facts to recall are:

  1. In the chemical formula of ionic compounds, the charge of the metal becomes the subscript of the nonmetal and the charge of the nonmetal is used as the subscript of the metal.
  2. The molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance. This is equal to the combined masses of the elements that make up the chemical compound.

In this question, the metal is iron (Fe) with its charge unknown so it can be denoted as Feˣ⁺, and the nonmetal is chlorine (Cl) which is known to have a charge of 1-. By crisscross method, the chemical formula of the compound may be written as FeClₙ.

Since the molar mass of the compound is given, the subscript n, may be determined by getting the sum of the masses of the elements that make up the substance:

molar mass of FeClₙ.=  molar mass of Fe + n{molar mass of Cl}

126.8 g/mol = 55.845 g/mol + n(35.45 g/mol)

n = 2.00

The charge, therefore, of iron in the compound is 2+. The chemical formula of iron (II) chloride is written as FeCl₂.

Answer is: <span>the charge of the iron in this compound is +2.
Atomic mass of iron is 55,8 g/mol.
Atomic mass of chlorine is 35,5 g/mol.
If compound is FeCl, molar mass would be 55,8 </span>g/mol + 35,5 g/mol = 91,3 g/mo, that is not correct.
If compound is FeCl₂, malar mass of compound would be:
55,8 g/mol + 2·35,5 g/mol = 126,8 g/mol, that is correct.
Oxaidation number of chlorine is -1.

The average atomic mass of Eu is 151.96 amu. There are only two naturally occurring isotopes of europium, Eu with a mass of 151.
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

The percentage abundance of Eu isotopes are 52 %  and 48 % .

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation of the average atomic mass is:

Average\ atomic\ mass=(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ first\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ first\ isotope})+(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ second\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ second\ isotope})

Given that:

Since the element has only 2 isotopes, so the let the percentage of first be x and the second is 100 -x.

For first isotope,:

% = x %

Mass = 151.0 amu

For second isotope :

% = 100  - x  

Mass = 153.0 amu

Given, Average Mass = 151.96 amu

Thus,

151.96=\frac{x}{100}\times {151.0}+\frac{100-x}{100}\times {153.0}

Solving for x, we get that:

x = 52 %

<u>Thus percentage abundance of Eu isotopes are 52 %  and 48 % .</u>

Which example indicates that a chemical change has occurred? *
andrezito [222]

Answer:

A. When two aqueous solutions are mixed, a precipitate is formed.

Explanation:

The precipitate (a solid substance that falls from the liquid) is the result of a chemical reaction taking place between the liquids.

The other three answer choices are indicative of physical changes (temperature change, phase change, color change).

Pls help question 2 ill attach a picture​
Finger [1]

Answer:

X 154

Check solution in explanation

Explanation:

Average atomic mass = ( mass 1× abudance) + ( mass 2× abudance)+ ( mass 3× abudance) / 100

(149×13.8)+(152×44.9) +(154×41.3)/100

2056.2 + 6824.8 + 6360.2/100

=152.412

Which of the following shows the conservation of mass during cellular respiration? 3 CO2 3 H2O energy → 3 C6H12O6 3 O2 6 CO2 6 H
Thepotemich [5.8K]

The reaction that has been, following the law of conservation of mass has been \rm C_6H_1_2O_6\;+\;6\;O_2\;\rightarrow\;6\;CO_2\;+\;6\;H_2O\;+\;Energy.

The law of conservation has been given in the chemical reaction that there has been no loss or gain of the mass and energy.

The law of conservation has been evident when there has been an equal number of atoms of each element on the product and the reactant side.

<h3 /><h3>Conservation of mass in Cellular respiration</h3>

The following reactions have been identified as:

  • \rm 3\;CO_2\;+\;3\;H_2O\;+\;Energy\;\rightarrow\;3\;C_6H_1_2O_6

Carbon atoms

Reactant = 3

Product = 18

Oxygen atoms

Reactant = 9

Product = 18

Hydrogen atoms

Reactant = 6

Product = 36

The number of atoms is not equal on the product and reactant side, thus not follows the law of conservation of mass.

  • \rm 3\;O_2\;+\;6\;CO_2\;+\;6\;H_2O\;+\;Energy\;\rightarrow\;C_6H_1_2O_6\;+\;6\;O_2

Carbon atoms

Reactant = 6

Product = 6

Oxygen atoms

Reactant = 24

Product = 18

Hydrogen atoms

Reactant = 12

Product = 12

The number of atoms is not equal on the product and reactant side, thus not follows the law of conservation of mass.

  • \rm C_6H_1_2O_6\;+\;6\;O_2\;\rightarrow\;6\;CO_2\;+\;6\;H_2O\;+\;Energy

Carbon atoms

Reactant = 6

Product = 6

Oxygen atoms

Reactant = 18

Product = 18

Hydrogen atoms

Reactant = 12

Product = 12

The number of atoms is equal on the product and reactant side, thus follows the law of conservation of mass.

  • \rm 6\;H_2O\;+\;C_6H_1_2O_6\;\rightarrow\;6\;O_2\;+\;Energy

Carbon atoms

Reactant = 6

Product = 0

Oxygen atoms

Reactant = 12

Product = 12

Hydrogen atoms

Reactant = 24

Product = 0

The number of atoms is not equal on the product and reactant side, thus not follows the law of conservation of mass.

Thus, the reaction that has been following the law of conservation of mass has been \rm C_6H_1_2O_6\;+\;6\;O_2\;\rightarrow\;6\;CO_2\;+\;6\;H_2O\;+\;Energy.
