Answer: C.X2Y4

Explanation:

Given that :

Compound has the empirical formula :

Empirical formula : CY2

The empirical formula expresses in Lowest term the whole ratio of the compound.

.

Empirical. Formula is usually written as :

XnYn+1

For instance, the ratio of the compound is :

n : n+1

Therefore, in the question:

XY2

Ratio :

X = 1 ; Y = 2 ; 1 /2 ;hence, the possible molecular number :

The possible moleculars are those whose XY mole ratio is 1 : 2

Comparing the ratios :

X2Y8 = 2/8 = 1 :4

ХЗҮЗ = 3/3 = 1 : 1

X2Y4 = 2 /4 = 1: 2

ХЗҮ9 = 3/9 = 1 :3

Hence, the only possible molecular formula is X2Y4

Elaborate on the nuclear model of the atom
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Rutherford's atomic model became known as the nuclear model. In the nuclear atom, the protons and neutrons, which comprise nearly all of the mass of the atom, are located in the nucleus at the center of the atom. The electrons are distributed around the nucleus and occupy most of the volume of the atom.

If 801 J of heat is available, what is the mass in grams of iron (specific heat = 0.45 J/g・°C) that can be heated from 22.5°C to
inysia [295]

Answer:

The correct answer will be "18.25 g".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Specific heat,

C = 0.45 J/g・°C

Heat involved,

q =  801 J

Temperature,

ΔT = 120.0°C-22.5°C

     = 97.5°C

As we know,

⇒  C = \frac{q}{m \Delta T}

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒  0.45=\frac{801}{m(97.5)}

⇒  m = 18.25 \ g

A 0.366 mol sample of pcl5(g) is injected into an empty 4.45 l reaction vessel held at 250 °c. calculate the concentrations of p
Maru [420]
Chemical reaction: PCl₅ → PCl₃ + Cl₂.
n(PCl₅) = 0,366 mol.
V(PCl₅) = 4,45 L.
c(PCl₅) = n(PCl₅) ÷ V(PCl₅).
c(PCl₅) = 0,366 mol ÷ 4,45 L.
c(PCl₅) = 0,082 mol/L.
Kc = 1,80.
[PCl₃] = [Cl₂] = x.
Kc = [PCl₃] · [Cl₂] ÷ [PCl₅].
1,80 = x² ÷ (0,082 mol/L - x).
Solve quadratic eqaution: x = [PCl₃] = 0,078 mol/L.
[PCl₅] = 0,082 mol/L - 0,078 mol/L.
[PCl₅] = 0,004 mol/L.
