Answer: The empirical formula is BrF_3

Explanation:

If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.

So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of Br=  58.37 g

Mass of F = (100-58.37) = 41.63 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of Br=\frac{\text{ given mass of Br}}{\text{ molar mass of Br}}= \frac{58.37g}{80g/mole}=0.73moles

Moles of F =\frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{41.63g}{19g/mole}=2.2moles

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For Br = \frac{0.73}{0.73}=1

For F = \frac{2.2}{0.7}=3

The ratio of Br: F= 1 : 3

Hence the empirical formula is BrF_3

What is the total amount of heat absorbed by 100.0
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Option (B) 6270J

Explanation:

The following were obtained from the question:

M = 100g

T1 = 30°C

T2 = 45°C

ΔT = 45 —30 = 15°C

C = 4.18J/g°C

Q=?

Q = MCΔT

Q = 100 x 4.18 x 15

Q = 6270J

Therefore, the total amount of heat absorbed is 6270J

What is the stoichiometric ratio between BaCl2 and NaCl
bixtya [17]
<span>BaCl2+Na2SO4---->BaSO4+2NaCl There is 1.0g of BaCl2 and 1.0g of Na2SO4, which is the limiting reagent? "First convert grams into moles" 1.0g BaCl2 * (1 mol BaCl2 / 208.2g BaCl2) = 4.8 x 10^-3 mol BaCl2 1.0g Na2SO4 * (1 mol Na2SO4 / 142.04g Na2SO4) = 7.0 x 10^-3 mol Na2SO4 (7.0 x 10^-3 mol Na2SO4 / 4.8 x 10^-3 mol BaCl2 ) = 1.5 mol Na2SO4 / mol BaCl2 "From this ratio compare it to the equation, BaCl2+Na2SO4---->BaSO4+2NaCl" The equation shows that for every mol of BaCl2 requires 1 mol of Na2SO4. But we found that there is 1.5 mol of Na2SO4 per mol of BaCl2. Therefore, BaCl2 is the limiting reagent.</span>

Adding heat to an exothermic reaction will have what effect? Reactants ↔ products + heat View Available Hint(s) Adding heat to a
Alina [70]

Answer:

Causes the equilibrium to shift to the left, in favor of making more reactants, and K decreases.

Explanation:

Le Châtelier's principle states that if there is a stress in equilibrium, the reaction will shift to restore the equilibrium. An exothermic reaction loses heat for the surroundings, so the equilibrium must be represented as:

Reactants ⇔ Products + Heat

Then, when more heat is added, to restore the equilibrium, the reaction shift to the left ("consuming" heat), in favor of making more reactants.

The equilibrium constant (K) is:

K = [Products]/[Reactants]

So, [Reactants] will increase, and K must decrease.
