The empirical formula : MnO₂.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

632mg of manganese(Mn) = 0.632 g

368mg of oxygen(O) = 0.368 g

M Mn = 55

M O = 16

Required

The empirical formula

Solution

You didn't include the pictures, but the steps for finding the empirical formula are generally the same

Find mol(mass : atomic mass)

Mn : 0.632 : 55 = 0.0115

O : 0.368 : 16 =0.023

Divide by the smallest mol(Mn=0.0115)

Mn : O =

$\tt \dfrac{0.0115}{0.0115}\div \dfrac{0.023}{0.0115}=1\div 2$

The empirical formula : MnO₂

Consider the reaction below. Initially the concentration of SO2Cl2 is 0.1000 M. Solve for the equilibrium concentration of SO2Cl

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

$[SO_2Cl_2] = 0.09983 M$

Explanation:

Write the balance chemical equation ,

$SO_2Cl_2((g) = SO_2(g) + Cl_2(g)$

initial concenration of $SO_2Cl_2((g) =0.1M$

lets assume that degree of dissociation= $\alpha$

concenration of each component at equilibrium:

$[SO_2Cl_2] = 0.1-0.1\alpha$

$[SO_2] = 0.1\alpha$

$[Cl_2] = 0.1\alpha$

$Kc =\frac{0.1\alpha \times 0.1\alpha}{0.1-0.1\alpha}$

$Kc =\frac{0.1\alpha \times \alpha}{1-\alpha}$

as $\alpha$ is very small then we can neglect $1-\alpha$

therefore ,

$Kc ={0.1\alpha \times \alpha}$

$\alpha =\sqrt{\frac{Kc}{0.1}}$

$\alpha = 1.73 \times 10^{-3}$

Eqilibrium concenration of $[SO_2Cl_2] = 0.1-0.1\alpha = 0.1-0.1\times 0.00173$

$[SO_2Cl_2] = 0.09983 M$

A substance is a good conductor of electricity. Which of the following best explains the probable position of the substance in t

Mariana [72]

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Elements present in group 1 are known as alkali metals. Whereas elements present in group 2 are called alkaline earth metals and elements from group 11 to 12 are transition metals.

As it is known that metals have the ability to lose electrons in order to attain stability and electricity is the flow of electrons from one point to another.

Therefore, metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement it’s between groups 1 to 12 because it is metal best explains the probable position of the substance in the periodic table.

How does the electron arrangement change moving vertically down a group?

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Electrons arrangement change is almost constant down the group, hence nuclear charge is almost constant.

But the energy levels on which electrons are arranged increase down the group, hence shielding or screening effect increases.

Calculate the heat change involved when 2.00 L of water is heated from 20.0/C to 99.7/C in

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

666,480 Joules or 669.48 kJ

Explanation:

We are given;

Volume of water as 2.0L or 2000 ml

but, density of water is 1 g/ml

Therefore, mass of water is 2000 g

Initial temperature as 20 °C
Final temperature as 99.7° C

Required to determine the heat change

We know that ;

Heat change = Mass × Temperature change × specific heat

In this case;

Specific heat of water is 4.2 J/g°C

Temperature change is 79.7 °C

Therefore;

Heat change = 2000 g × 79.7 °C × 4.2 J/g°C

= 669,480 Joules 0r 669.48 kJ

Thus, the heat change involved is 666,480 Joules or 669.48 kJ
