N76 [4]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

Assume we have 100g of this substance. That means we would have 20.24g of Cl and 79.76g of Al. Now we can find how many moles of each we have:

\frac{79.76 \:g}{35.45 \: g/mol} = 2.25 mol of chlorine

\frac{20.24 \: g}{26.98 \: g/mol} = 0.750 mol of Al.

To form a integer ratio, do 2.25/0.75 = 2.99999 ~= 3.

So the ratio is essentially Al : Cl => 1 : 3. To the compound is possibly AlCl_3.

However, it says it has a molar mass of 266.64 g/mol, and since AlCl3 has a molar mass of 133.32, it must be Al_2Cl_6.

Actually this molecule isn't exactly AlCl3 (which is ionic). Al2Cl6 forms a banana bond where Cl acts as a hapto-2 ligand. But that's a bit advanced. All you need to know is X = Al2Cl6

An object with a mass of 10.0 kg is moving at a speed of 5.00m/s. The kinetic energy of the mass is
NemiM [27]
KE = (1/2)mv^2
m = 10.0 kg
v = 5.00 m/a

KE = (1/2)(10.0)(5.00)^2 = (1/2)(10.0)(25.0) = 125 J

Estimate the solubility of CaCO3
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

CaCO3(s) <==> Ca2+(aq) + CO3 2-(aq)

Let X = the amount of CaCO3 dissolved in Na2CO3 or the amount of each ions formed i.e. Ca2+ and CO3 2–. Then, put this into the formula :

Ksp = [Ca2+] [CO3 2-]

5 × 10^-9 = [X]*[X]

X^2 = 5 × 10^-9

X = √5 × 10^-9

X = 7.07 x 10^-5 mole/L

So, the amount of CaCO3 dissolved in 0.1M Na2CO3 or the amount of Ca2+ and CO3 2- ions produced is 7.07 x 10^-5 mole/L

Terry heats two different masses of substance A to different temperatures, and measures the amounts of both carbon dioxide and w
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

This experiment is uncontrolled because two different masses of substance A are used.

Explanation:

A controlled experiment is a structured experiment aimed at testing a particular observation or observations. The setup of a controlled experiment helps to determine the reason why a particular observation occurs and what must have led to it.

In the experiment highlighted above, different masses of a substance were used, they were heated to different temperatures. The set up does not show any correlation between the masses of substances heated and the temperatures. It is even difficult to try to predict the hypothesis for this kind of experimental set up. All the variables in play can best be assumed to be independent of one another.

A biochemist who is studying the properties of certain sulfur (s)-containing compounds in the body, wonders whether trace amount
Leni [432]

Elements of the same group show similar chemical properties as they have the same number of valence electrons. Sulfur belongs to the group 16 or 6 A or the oxygen family with 6 valence electrons. The elements of group 6 A are Oxygen, Sulfur, Selenium, Tellurium and Polonium. All of these elements show similar chemical properties. Therefore, when a biochemist studying the properties a sulfur containing biochemical compounds in the body wants to look at any other non-metal with similar properties, he has to consider other elements of the group 6 A like Oxygen (O), Selenium (Se), Tellurium (Te) and Polonium (Po).
