Explanation:

Note: Molar masses of elements can be found online or in the periodic table.

Moles of Magnesium

= 3.60g / (24.3g/mol) = 0.148mol.

Moles of Chlorine

= 10.65g / (35.45g/mol) = 0.300mol.

Mole ratio of Magnesium to Chlorine

= 0.148mol : 0.300mol = 1 : 2.

Hence we have the empirical formula MgCl2.

Moles of Lithium

= 9.1g / (6.94g/mol) = 1.311mol.

Moles of Oxygen

= 10.4g / (16g/mol) = 0.650mol.

Moles ratio of Lithium to Oxygen

= 1.311mol : 0.650mol = 2 : 1.

Hence we have the empirical formula Li2O.

How many moles of chlorine are used up in a reaction that produces 0.35kg of BCl3
maw [93]

4.48 mol Cl2. A reaction that produces 0.35 kg of BCl3 will use 4.48 mol of Cl2.

(a) The <em>balanced chemical equation </em>is

2B + 3Cl2 → 2BCl3

(b) Convert kilograms of BCl3 to moles of BCl3

MM: B = 10.81; Cl = 35.45; BCl3 = 117.16

Moles of BCl3 = 350 g BCl3 x (1 mol BCl3/117.16 g BCl3) = 2.987 mol BCl3

(c) Use the <em>molar ratio</em> of Cl2:BCl3 to calculate the moles of Cl2.

Moles of Cl2 = 2.987 mol BCl3 x (3 mol Cl2/2 mol BCl3) = 4.48 mol Cl2

If 50.75 g of a gas occupies 10.0 l at stp, 129.3 g of the gas will occupy __________ l at stp.
Rom4ik [11]
Use PV = mRT/M and solve for R. R = PVM/RT. Since you have the same gas under two sets of conditions then you can write 
<span>P1V1M1/m1T1 = P2V2M2/m2T2 </span>
<span>Since P, M and T are constant, the equation becomes </span>
<span>V1/m1 = V2/m2 </span>
<span>Now plug in your values and solve for V2</span>

A photon has 8.0 × 10–15 J of energy. Planck’s constant is 6.63 × 10–34 J•s. What is the frequency of the photon
german
The formula is:
frequency * h (Planck's constant) = Energy
So, to find frequency you need just divide energy by the constant:
frequency = (8 * 10^-15 J) / (6.63 * 10^-34 J*s) = 1.2 * 10^19 1/s or 1.2 * 10^19 Hz
