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.

.What is the effective number of bonds between the sulfur atom and each oxygen atom in the sulfate ion
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

The effective number of bonds in sulfate ion is 1.5

Explanation:

The number of chemical bonds between two atoms is known as the bond order.

In covalent bonds between two atoms, a single bond has a bond order of one, a double bond has a bond order of two, a triple bond has a bond order of three.

If there are more than two atoms in a molecule, the effective number of bonds can be determined by applying the following steps:

1. Draw the Lewis structure.

2. Count the total number of bonds.

3. Count the number of bond groups between individual atoms.

4. Divide the number of bonds between atoms by the total number of bond groups in the molecule.

For the sulfate ion, the resonance structure is shown in the attachment below. From the structure;

Total number of bonds = (2 × 2) + (2 × 1) = 6

Total number of bond groups = 4

Effective number of bonds = 6/4 = 1.5

Therefore, the effective number of bonds in sulfate ion is 1.5

If a solution containing 51.429 g of mercury(ii) perchlorate is allowed to react completely with a solution containing 16.642 g
OLga [1]
Hg(No3)2  +NaSO4   --->2NaNO3  +  HgSO4(s)
calculate  the moles  of   each  reactant
moles=mass/molar  mass

moles of  Hg(NO3)2=  51.429g/  324.6  g/mol(molar  mass  of  Hg(NO3)2)=0.158  moles

moles Na2SO4  16.642g/142g/mol=  0.117  moles  of  Na2SO4

Na2SO4  is  the  limiting  reagent in  the   equation   and  by  use  mole  ratio  Na2So4  to  HgSO4  is  1:1   therefore  the  moles  of  HgSO4  =0.117  moles

mass  of  HgSO4=moles  x  molar   mass  of  HgSo4=  0.117 g x  303.6g/mol=  35.5212  grams

If a force of 1.4N is applied to a block with a mass of 7kg, what is the acceleration of the block in meters per second squared?
Anton [14]

Answer:

<h2>0.2 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

a =  \frac{1.4}{7} =  \frac{1}{5}   \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.2 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you
