Answer:

AuCl

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Gold  = 2.6444g

Mass of Chlorine  = 0.476g

Unknown:

Empirical formula  = ?

Solution:

Empirical formula is the simplest formula of a compound. Here is the way of determining this formula.

Elements                                     Au                                             Cl

Mass                                         2.6444                                     0.476

Molar mass                                 197                                          35.5

Number of moles                  2.6444/197                                 0.476/35.5

                                                 0.013                                           0.013

Divide by the

smallest                                 0.013/0.013                                 0.013/0.013

                                                       1                                                   1

The empirical formula of the compound is AuCl

Which pair of elements would you expect to exhibit the greatest similarity in their physical and chemical properties? Sr, Te Ga,
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

N and P will have similarity

Electronic configuration of N

2,5

1s²2s²p⁵

Electronic configuration of  P

1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁵

Electronic configuration bears similarity.

Both have 5 electrons in their outermost orbits . So they exhibit similarity in their properties. Both belong to the same 15 th group of periodic table.

Sr and Rb too bear much similarity . Both are strongly electro-positive metal , difference in their atomic no being only one.

What is the vapor pressure of an aqueous solution that has a solute mole fraction of 0.1000? The vapor pressure of water is 25.7
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

χsolvent = 1.0000 - 0.1000 = 0.9000

Use Raoult's Law:

Psolution = (χsolvent) (P°solvent)

x = (0.900) (25.756)

x = 23.18 mmHg (to four sig figs)

Ibuprofen, a well‑known, non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drug, has chirality.
Liula [17]

Answer:

A (True)

Explanation:

Because ibuprofen has a chiral carbon center (carbon bonded to 4 distinct groups of atoms).

This means that a mixture of ibuprofen can rotate plane-polarized light equally in both the clockwise and counterclockwise direction.
