uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Cl F₃

Explanation:

1) Reactants:

The reactants are:

Molecular chlorine: this is a gas diatomic molecule, i.e. Cl₂ (g)

Molecular fluorine: this is also a gas diatomic molecule: F₂ (g)

2) Stoichiometric coefficients:

One volume of Cl₂ react with three volumes of F₂ means that the reaction is represented with coefficients 1 for Cl₂ and 3 for F₂. So, the reactant side of the chemical equation is:

Cl₂ (g) + 3F₂ (g) →

3) Product:

It is said that the reaction yields two volumes of a gaseous product; then, a mass balance indicates that the two volumes must contain 2 parts of Cl and 6 parts of F. So, one volume must contain 1 part of Cl and 3 parts of F. That is easy to see in the complete chemical equation:

Cl₂ (g) + 3F₂ (g) → 2Cl F₃ (g)

As you see, that last equation si balanced: 2 atoms of Cl and 6 atoms of F on each side, and you conclude that the formula of the product is ClF₃.

A sample of gas has an initial volume of 3.88 l at a pressure of 707 mmhg . part a if the volume of the gas is increased to 5.43

JulsSmile [24]

Using boyles law
p1v1=p2v2
v1=3.88
v2=5.43
p1=707
p2=?
707x3.88=p2x5.43
2743.16/5.43=p2
p2=505mmHg

Is reacts with acid a chemical or physical property? (WORTH 30 Points.)

Alborosie

Answer:

Metals in general have they chemical property of reacting with an acid. Zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas. This is a chemical property. Chemical change results in one or more substances of entirely different composition from the original substances.

A buffer solution contains 0.496 M hydrocyanic acid and 0.399 M sodium cyanide . If 0.0461 moles of sodium hydroxide are added t

pochemuha

Answer : The pH of the solution is, 9.63

Explanation : Given,

The dissociation constant for HCN = $pK_a=9.31$

First we have to calculate the moles of HCN and NaCN.

$\text{Moles of HCN}=\text{Concentration of HCN}\times \text{Volume of solution}=0.496M\times 0.225L=0.1116mole$

and,

$\text{Moles of NaCN}=\text{Concentration of NaCN}\times \text{Volume of solution}=0.399M\times 0.225L=0.08978mole$

The balanced chemical reaction is:

$HCN+NaOH\rightarrow NaCN+H_2O$

Initial moles 0.1116 0.0461 0.08978

At eqm. (0.1116-0.0461) 0 (0.08978+0.0461)

0.0655 0.1359

Now we have to calculate the pH of the solution.

Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :

$pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}$

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$pH=9.31+\log (\frac{0.1359}{0.0655})$

$pH=9.63$

Therefore, the pH of the solution is, 9.63

Newton's second law of motion uses the formula which states that a force will cause a mass to accelerate. (f = m •

Makovka662 [10]

Newton's second law of motion can be formally stated as follows:

The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

This verbal statement can be expressed in equation form as follows:

a = Fnet / m
