Answer:

The formula of the original halide is SrCl₂.

Explanation:

  • The balanced equation of this reaction is:

SrX₂ + H₂SO₄ → SrSO₄ + 2 HX, where X is the halide.

  • From the equation stichiometry, 1.0 mole of strontium halide will result in 1.0 mole of SrSO₄.
  • The number of moles of SrSO₄ <em>(n = mass/molar mass) </em>= (0.755 g) / (183.68 g/mole) = 4.11 x 10⁻³ mole.
  • The number of moles of SrX are  4.11 x 10⁻³ moles from the stichiometry of the balanced equation.
  • n = mass / molar mass, n =  4.11 x 10⁻³ moles and mass = 0.652 g.
  • The molar mass of SrX₂ = mass / n = (0.652) / (4.11 x 10⁻³ moles) = 158.62 g/mole.
  • The molar mass of SrX₂ (158.62 g/mole) = Atomic mass of Sr (87.62 g/mole) + (2 x Atomic mass of halide X).
  • The atomic mass of halide X = (158.62 g/mole) - (87.62 g/mole) / 2 = 71 / 2  g/mole = 35.5 g/mole.
  • This is the atomic mass of Cl.
  • <em>So, the formula of the original halide is SrCl₂</em>.

What is the molar mass of 81.50g of gas exerting a pressure of 1.75atm on the walls of a 4.92L container at 307K?
Reptile [31]
M = 81.50g, mm = m/n
n = ???
PV = nRT --> n = PV/RT
n = (1.75)(4.92)/(.0821)(307)
n = 8.61/25.20 = .342
--> mm = m/n = 81.5/.342 = 238.58

What describes how the bond between two oxygen atoms is formed
HACTEHA [7]

The bond that exist between two oxygen atoms is called a double covalent bond. This bond involves the sharing of four electrons to obtain a more stable structure. This type of bond is much stronger than the single covalent bond. They are much harder to break.

What is the correct balanced equation for the reaction that occurs when aqueous ammonium chloride reacts with aqueous barium nit
Setler [38]

Answer:

2NH_{4}Cl + Ba(NO_{3} )_{2} ⇒  BaCl_{2} + 2NH_{4}NO_{3}

Explanation:

In balancing a chemical equation we make sure the number of atoms of each element on the reactant side of the equation equals that on the product side

NH_{4}Cl + Ba(NO_{3} )_{2} ⇒  BaCl_{2} + NH_{4}NO_{3}

The equation above represents an unbalanced equation of the reaction of aqueous ammonium chloride  with aqueous barium nitrate .we can balance this equation by adding the right coefficients to reactants and product.

2NH_{4}Cl + Ba(NO_{3} )_{2} ⇒  BaCl_{2} + 2NH_{4}NO_{3}
