Calculate the empirical formula of each of the following substances with the following compositions.

Chemistry
1 answer:
OleMash [197]3 years ago
7 0

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.

A molecule of butane and a molecule of 2-butene both have the same total number of
Vinvika [58]
The correct answer is option 1. Butane and 2-butene have the same total number of carbon atoms. They both have four carbon atoms. They differ in there structure since the latter has double bonds on it. As a result of the different structure, they also have different properties.

Identify what kind of ligand (weak or strong), what kind of wavelength (long or short), what kind of spin (high spin or low spin
anzhelika [568]

To find - Identify what kind of ligand (weak or strong), what kind

              of wavelength (long or short), what kind of spin (high spin or

              low spin) and whether it is paramagnetic or diamagnetic for

              the following complexes.

              1. [Mn(CN)6]4-

              2. [Fe(OH)(H2O)5]2

              3. [CrCl4Br2]3-

Step - by - Step Explanation -

1.

[Mn(CN)⁶]⁴⁻ :

Ligand - Strong

Wavelength - Short

Spin - Low spin

Number of unpaired electrons = 1 ∴ paramagnetic.

2.

[Fe(OH)(H₂O)₅]²⁺ :

Ligand - Weak ( both OH⁻ and H₂O )

Wavelength - Long

Spin - High spin

Number of unpaired electrons = 5 ∴ paramagnetic.

3.

[CrCl₄Br₂]³⁻ :

Ligand - Weak ( both Br⁻ and Cl⁻ )

Wavelength - Long

Spin - High spin

Number of unpaired electrons = 3 ∴ paramagnetic.
