Roman55 [17]

Answer:

magnesium and chlorine

Explanation:

An ionic bond is usually formed between a metal and a nonmetal. An ionic bond involves the transfer of one or more electrons from a highly electro positive metal to a nonmeta.

Usually, the electro negativity difference between the two species involved in an ionic bond is usually high.

For instance, the electro negativity of magnesium is 1.31 while that of chlorine is 3.16. This implies that they have a difference in electro negativity of about 1.85 between them which is large enough to be considered as leading to a pure ionic bond. An electro negativity difference above 1.7 is generally regarded as leading to the formation of an ionic bond.

A 3.00g of a certain Compound X, known to be made of carbon, hydrogen and perhaps oxygen, and to have a molecular molar mass of

andrew-mc [135]

Answer: The molecular formula for the given organic compound X is $C_6H_{8}O_7$

Explanation:

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=4.13g$

Mass of $H_2O=1.13g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 4.13 g of carbon dioxide, = $\frac{12}{44}\times 4.13=1.13g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 1.13 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 1.13=0.125g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (3.00) - (1.13+ 0.125) = 1.75 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{1.13g}{12g/mole}=0.094moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.125g}{1g/mole}=0.125moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{1.75g}{16g/mole}=0.109moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles

For Carbon = $\frac{0.094}{0.094}=1$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.125}{0.094}=1.33$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.109}{0.094}=1.16$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 1: 1.33: 1.16

Converting them into whole number ratios by multiplying by 6:

The ratio of C : H : O = 6: 8: 7

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_6H_8O_7$

Empirical mass = $6\times 12+8\times 1+7\times 16=192g$

The equation used to calculate the valency is :

$n=\frac{\text{molecular mass}}{\text{empirical mass}}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{192g/mol}{192g/mol}=1$

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

$C_6H_8O_7\times 1=C_6H_{8}O_7$

Thus molecular formula for the given organic compound X is $C_6H_{8}O_7$
