A 2.5 mol sample of phosphorus pentachloride, PCl5 dissociates at 160C and 1.00atm to give 0.338 mol of phosphorus trichloride a
Readme [11.4K]

Explanation:

Moles of phosphorus pentachloride present initially = 2.5 mol

Moles of phosphorus trichloride at equilibrium = 0.338 mol

PCl_5\rightleftharpoons PCl_3+Cl_2

Initially

2.5 mol      0    0

At equilibrium:

(2.5 - x) mol      x     x

So, from above, the moles of phosphorus trichloride at equilibrium , x= 0.338 mol

Mass of 0.338 moles of  phosphorus trichloride at equilibrium:

= 0.338 mol × 137.5 g/mol = 46.475 g

Moles of phosphorus pentachloride present at equilibrium :

= (2.5 - 0.338) mol = 2.162 mol

Mass of 2.162 moles of  phosphorus pentachloride at equilibrium:

= 2.162 mol × 208.5 g/mol = 450.777 g

Moles of chloride gas present at equilibrium : 0.338 mol

Mass of 0.338 moles of chloride gas at equilibrium:

= 0.338 mol × 71 g/mol = 23.998 g

Identify the covalent compounds based on the names of the compounds. barium nitrate dinitrogen tetroxide boron trifluoride ammon
noname [10]

Covalent compounds are composed of atoms that are linked via covalent bonds i.e. bonds formed by mutual sharing of electrons. This is in complete contrast to ionic compounds which are held together by ionic bonds, i.e. bonds formed by complete transfer of electrons from one atom to the other.

In the given examples we have:

Barium nitrate: Ba(NO3)2 - Ionic

Dinitrogen tetroxide: N2O4- Covalent

Boron trifluoride: BF3-Covalent

Ammonium sulfate: (NH4)2SO4- Ionic

Carbon tetrachloride: CCl4- Covalent

Barium chloride: BaCl2 - Ionic

Argon, which comprises almost 1% of the atmosphere, is approximately 27 times more abundant than CO 2, but does not contribute t
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

The gas argon does not reach a state of vibrational excitation when infrared radiation strikes this gas.

Explanation:

The dry atmosphere is composed almost entirely of nitrogen (in a volumetric mixing ratio of 78.1%) and oxygen (20.9%), plus a series of oligogases such as argon (0.93%), helium and gases of greenhouse effect such as carbon dioxide (0.035%) and ozone. In addition, the atmosphere contains water vapor in very variable amounts (about 1%) and aerosols.

Greenhouse gases or greenhouse gases are the gaseous components of the atmosphere, both natural and anthropogenic, that absorb and emit radiation at certain wavelengths of the infrared radiation spectrum emitted by the Earth's surface, the atmosphere and clouds . In the Earth's atmosphere, the main greenhouse gases (GHG) are water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O), methane (CH4) and ozone (O3 ). There is also in the atmosphere a series of greenhouse gases (GHG) created entirely by humans, such as halocarbons (compounds containing chlorine, bromine or fluorine and carbon, these compounds can act as potent greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and they are also one of the causes of the depletion of the ozone layer in the atmosphere) regulated by the Montreal Protocol. In addition to CO2, N2O and CH4, the Kyoto Protocol sets standards regarding sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and perfluorocarbons (PFCs).

The difference between argon and greenhouse gases such as CO2 is that the individual atoms in the argon do not have free bonds and therefore do not vibrate. As a consequence, it does not reach a state of vibrational excitation when infrared radiation strikes this gas.
