Antimony pentafluoride has a formula of SbF5. What is the percent composition of Sb in this molecule

Chemistry
1 answer:
Akimi4 [234]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

56.17% is percent composition of Sb in the molecule

Explanation:

Percent composition is the percent in mass of each element present in a particular molecule.

In SbF₅, there is 1 mole of Antimony -Molar mass: 121.76g- per 5 moles of fluorine -Molar mass: 19g/mol-. In a basis of 1 mole, the mass of Sb and F is:

<em>Mass Sb:</em>

1mol * (121.76g/mol) = 121.76g

<em>Mass F:</em>

1 mol SbF₅ = 5 moles F * (19g / mol) = 95g

<em>Total mass:</em>

121.76g + 95g = 216.76g

And percent composition of Sb:

121.76g / 216.76g * 100 =

<h3>56.17% is percent composition of Sb in the molecule</h3>

The hydrogens and oxygen of a water molecule are held together by ______ bonds. select all that apply.
zavuch27 [327]

The hydrogens and oxygen of a water molecule are held together by covalent bonds.

<h3>What are covalent bonds?</h3>

A covalent bond is an electron exchange that causes the production of electron pairs between atoms. Covalent bonding is a stable equilibrium of the attractive and repulsive forces between two atoms that occurs when they share electrons.

Bonding pairs or sharing pairs are other names for these electron pairs. Because electrons are shared among several molecules, each atom can reach the equivalent of a full valence shell, resulting in a stable electronic state.

In organic chemistry, covalent bonds are much more common than ionic bonds. Covalent bonds unite the atoms in a single water molecule, whereas hydrogen bonds join two water molecules. Water develops a covalent bond when oxygen shares an electron with each hydrogen atom.

Why do we use a double arrow in the dissociation equation for a weak acid answer?
Zepler [3.9K]
Answer is: because weak acids do not dissociate completely.

The strength of an Arrhenius acid determines percentage of ionization of acid and the number of H⁺ ions formed. <span>
Strong acids completely ionize in water and give large amount ofhydrogen ions (H</span>⁺), so we use only one arrow, because reaction goes in one direction and there no molecules of acid in solution.

For example hydrochloric acid: HCl(aq) → H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq).

<span> Weak acid partially ionize in water and give only a few hydrogen ions (H</span>⁺), in the solution there molecules of acid and ions.

For example cyanide acid: HCN(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + CN⁻(aq).

Match each statement with a layer of the atmosphere. There will be two statements for each layer.
LuckyWell [14K]

<u>The troposphere: </u>

H. This layer can have thunderstorms or clear, sunny skies.

A. The biosphere interacts most with this layer. 

<u>The stratosphere:</u>

B. It is the second layer from Earth's surface. 

G. Winds are strong and steady in this layer. 

<u>The mesosphere:</u>

E. It is heated by the ozone layer beneath it. 

D. This layer is where most meteor showers occur. 

<u>The thermosphere :</u>

F. It contains the ionosphere and exosphere. 

C. It contains layers of single, unmixed gas. 

<u>Explanation:</u>

Depending on the Earth's  temperature the atmosphere can be separated into layers. The troposphere, the stratosphere, the mesosphere and the thermosphere are those layers. The lowest layer is named as Troposphere (0-10 km from the Earth outer surface), it comprises about 75% of the atmosphere's total air and nearly most the water vapor.

Stratosphere (10-30) includes much of the surface ozone. The change in height temperature arises as this ozone absorbs ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. The temperature in Mesosphere (30-50 Km) declines again with height, hitting a minimum of about -90 ° C at the "mesopause." Above this thermosphere (50-400 Km) is settled which is a area where temperatures rise with height once again. The penetration of intense  UV and X-ray radiation from the sun induces this temperature rise.
