Answer:

HCl

Explanation:

Volume = 25L

Temperature = 25.0 oC + 273 = 298 K (Converting to kelvin units)

Pressure = 1.2 atm

Mass of gas = 44.7g

Formular of gas = HX

To solve this, we have to know the identity of X. One qay to do that is by obtaining the molecular mass of the compound.

To get the molar mass, we need the number of mole.

Using the ideal gas equation;

PV = nRT

where R = gas constant = 0.082 057 L atm K−1  mol−1

n = PV / RT

n = 1.2 * 25  / 0.082 057 * 298

n = 30  /  24.45

n = 1.227 mol

The relationship between number of moles and molar mass is given as;

Nummber f moles = mass  / molar mass

Molar mass = mass  / Number of moles

Molar mass = 44.7 / 1.227

Molar mass =  36.43 g/mol

Molar mass of gas X = Molar mass of H + Molar mass of X

36.43 = 1 + X

X = 36.43 - 1 = 35.43

Chlorine is the only element with molar mass approximate to 35.43

Hence X = Cl

The chemical formular = HCl

Which law represents a balanced chemical equation?​
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

All chemical equations goes to the law of conservation of mass which says that matter can not be destroyed nor created which means there has to be an equal amount of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation. I hope that helps, I'm learning this as well.

What cultural differences does Herodotus notice between Greek ways of living and those of Persia and Egypt
Sindrei [870]
<span>The Persian Wars mark an important turning point not only in Greek history but, indeed, in the course of all European civilization. First and foremost, because of its victory Greece was saved from the threat of external rule and could develop on its own. Handed this independence, the Greeks chose to follow a path which forever changed the course of modern life. Without their success in this conflict, they would, no doubt, never have had the liberty, means or conviction to invent, discover or create all they did: not just history but philosophy, science, drama, art, architecture, indeed most of the cornerstones of modern civilization. Another consequence of this victory, less immediate but equally important, was that it prevented the Persians from dominating the lands to the west of Greece—as noted above, it's likely the fertile fields of Italy and Sicily, not the rough dust of Greece, were the real target of Xerxes' imperial designs—and there a tiny settlement called Rome had just begun to sprout, at that moment hardly a dot on the map, but it would later develop into a crucial player in the history of the West. Rome won freedom, too, in the Persian Wars, without ever fielding a single fighter. It's impossible to imagine how vastly different our world would be if Persia had conquered or exterminated the Romans before they'd ever had a chance to grow. Thus, the Greeks laid the groundwork for later Western culture, and Herodotus the foundation for understanding it. If so many of his facts look suspect or even prove incorrect, if he sometimes seems to set speculation and scandal over sober criticism and science, before condemning him we should recall that he founded this entire enterprise called history, a discipline which still bears the name he gave it. His critics should also bear in mind it's only because Herodotus set us on this path that we can even scorn his methods in the first place. To this most uncommon "common man," we owe an enormous collective debt.</span>
