The element is most likely PHOSPHORUS.

Phosphorus is an element with an atomic number of 15. The electronic configuration of the element is 2,8,5. This configuration implies that, each atom of phosphorus has three sub shell, the first sub shell has 2 electrons, the second has 8 electrons while the outermost sub shell has 5 electrons. The electrons in the outermost shell are also called the valence shell. Thus, phosphorus has 5 electrons in its valence shell.

denis23 [38]

Answer:

Volume of CHCl_3   = 15.31 mL

Volume of CHBr_3 = 4.69 mL

Explanation:

Given that:

the density of the mixture = 1.82 g/mL

From the density of the pure samples

The density of CHCl_3 = 1.492 g/mL

The density of CHBr_3 = 2.890 g/mL

The total volume of the liquid mixture = 20.0 mL

Suppose the volume of  CHCl_3 = P ml

and the volume of CHBr_3 = Q ml

the sum of their volumes should be equal to the total volume of the mixture

P \ ml + Q \ ml = 20 ml  ----- (1)

However, we know that Density = mass/volume

∴ mass = density × volume

The equation can now be expressed as:

\mathtt{(Density \ of  \ CHCl_3 \times Vol. \ of  \ CHCl_3 ) + (Density  \  of \  CHBr_3  \times \ volume \ of \ CHBr_3)} = \mathtt{ (Density  \ of \ mixture \times volume \ of \ the \ mixture)}

1.492 g/mL × P mL + 2.890 g/mL × Q mL = 1.82 g/mL × 20 mL  ---- (2)

From equation (1) ;

let Q = 20 - P

The replace the value of P into equation (2)

1.492 g/mL × P mL + 2.890g/mL × (20 - P) mL = 1.82 g/mL × 20 mL

1.492 P g + 57.8g - 2.890 P g =  36.4g

1.492 P g - 2.890 P g = 36.4g - 57.8g

-1.398 P g = -21.4g

P = -21.4g/-1.398g

P = 15.31 mL

Q = 20 - P

Q = (20 - 15.31) mL

Q = 4.69 mL

∴

Volume of CHCl_3   = 15.31 mL

Volume of CHBr_3 = 4.69 mL

Which of the following rules should you follow to balance chemical equations?
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

c. add coefficients as needed

Explanation:

A chemical equation is defined as the equation that shows changes in a chemical reaction. A chemical equation consist of reactant and product, reactant is at left side of the arrow and product is at right side of the arrow.

Reactant => Product

While balancing a chemical equation, the basic rule is to balance the coefficient as required. Coefficient represents the number of molecules and is used at front of a chemical symbol. Change in coefficient helps balance the number of atoms or molecules of the substances on both the sides of the arrow.

Subscripts are never allowed to change because it can change the chemical involved in the reaction.

Hence, the correct answer is "c. add coefficients as needed".
