Answer:

The halogen is Iodine.

Explanation:

Using the ideal gas equation, we find the number of moles of gas present, n.

PV = nRT where P = pressure of gas = 1.41 atm, V = volume of gas = 109 mL = 0.109 L, n = number of moles of gas, R = molar gas constant = 0.082 L-atm/mol-K and T = temperature of gas = 398 K

Since PV = nRT, making n subject of the formula, we have

n = PV/RT

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

n = 1.41 atm × 0.109 L/(0.082 L-atm/mol-K × 398 K)

n = 0.15369 atm-L/32.636 L-atm/mol

n = 0.0047 mol

Since n = m/M where m = mass of gas = 1.19 g and M = relative molecular mass of gas

So, M = m/n

M = 1.19 g/0.0047 mol

M = 252.7 g

Since halogens are diatomic the relative atomic mass is M/2 = 252.7g/2 = 126.34 g

From tables, the only halogen with this atomic mass is Iodine.

So, the halogen is Iodine.

Answer:

Option A. the hydroxyl group (-OH)

Explanation:

Ethanol, CH₃CH₂OH belongs to the class of organic compound called alkanol.

They have general formula as R–OH

Where

R => is an alkyl group

OH => is the hydroxyl group

The hydroxyl group (OH) is the functional group of the alkanol (alcohol)

<u>Answer:</u> The total pressure of the container will be 2.00 atm

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Initial moles of phosphorus pentachloride = 1.00 atm

For the given chemical reaction:

PCl_5\rightleftharpoons PCl_3+Cl_2

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of PCl_5 produces 1 mole of PCl_3 and 1 mole of chlorine gas

So, 1.00 atm of PCl_5 will also produce 1.00 atm of PCl_3 and 1.00 atm of chlorine gas when the reaction goes to completion.

Total pressure of the container when the reaction goes to completion  = 1.00 + 1.00 = 2.00 atm

Hence, the total pressure of the container will be 2.00 atm
