Answer:

C8H12F6

Explanation:

To solve this question we need to find the moles of each atom in order to find the empirical formula (The empirical formula is defined as the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms present in a molecule). Using the empirical formula and the molar mass we can find molecular formula as follows:

<em>Moles C:</em>

2.35g * (1mol / 12g) = 0.1958 moles C

<em>Moles H:</em>

0.294g (1mol /1g) = 0.294 moles H

<em>Moles F -Molar mass: 19.0g/mol-: </em>

Mass F: 5.43g - 2.35g C - 0.294g H = 2.786g F * (1mol / 19.0g) = 0.1466 moles F

The moles of atoms dividing in the moles of F (Lower number of moles) produce the simplest ratio as follows:

C = 0.1958mol C / 0.1466mol F = 1.33

H =0.294mol H / 0.1466mol F = 2

F = 0.1466 mol F / 0.1466mol F = 1

As the empirical formula requires whole numbers, this ratio multiplied 3 times:

C = 4

H = 6

F=3

The empirical formula is:

C4H6F3

With molar mass of:

4C = 12*4 = 48

6H = 1*6 = 6

3F = 19*3 = 57

The molar mass is: 48g/mol + 6g/mol + 57g/mol = 111g/mol

As we know the molecule has a molar mass between 219-225g/mol and the empirical formula is 111g/mol, 2 times empirical formula will produce a molecule with the molar mass of the molecule, that is:

A certain isotope has 53 protons 78 neutrons and 53 electrons. What is its atomic number? What is the mass number of this atom?
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

  1. 53 protons
  2. 131g
  3. Iodine
  4. Halogens

Explanation:

atomic no. = no. of protons

= 53 proton

mass = no. of protons + no. of

neutrons

= 53 + 78

= 131

Methylene chloride (CH2Cl2) has fewer chlorine atoms than chloroform (CHCl3). Nevertheless, methylene chloride has a larger mole
Talja [164]

Answer:

Explanation has been given below.

Explanation:

  • Chloroform has three polar C-Cl bonds. Methylene chloride has two polar C-Cl bonds. So it is expected that chloroform should be more polar and posses higher dipole moment than methylene chloride.
  • Two factors are liable for the opposite trend observed in dipole moments of methylene chloride and chloroform.
  • First one is the number of hyperconjugative hydrogen atoms present in a molecule. Hyperconjugation occurs with vacant d-orbital of Cl atom. Hyperconjugation amplifies charge separation in a molecule resulting higher dipole moment.
  • Methylene chloride has two hyperconjugative hydrogen atoms and chloroform has one hyperconjugative hydrogen atom.Therefore methylene chloride should have higher charge separation as compared to chloroform.
  • Second one is induction of opposite polarity in a C-Cl bond by another C-Cl bond in a molecule. Higher the opposite induction of polarity, lower the charge separation in a molecule and hence lower the dipole moment of a molecule.
  • Chloroform has three C-Cl bonds and methylene chloride has two C-Cl bonds. Therefore opposite induction is higher for chloroform resulting it's lower dipole moment.

Study the Lewis dot diagram for nitrogen. Explain what is correct and what is incorrect about the diagram. Use details to suppor
Verdich [7]

Answer:

The Lewis dot diagram is supposed to have dots on each side. What's incorrect is that there isn't a dot on the bottom, only the left and right side and the top. What's correct about this is that there are 5 outer valence electrons, and they correctly put 5 dots, even though they're in the wrong place.

The compound ncl3 is nitrogen trichloride, but alcl3 is simply aluminum chloride. why
AveGali [126]
The answer to this question would be:
NCl3 is a molecular compound (two or more nonmetals), and therefore in its name prefixes indicate the number of each type of atom. so NCl3 is nitrogen trichloride<span>.
</span><span>The compound AlCl3 is an ionic compound (metal and nonmetal), and therefore does not require prefixes. so AlCl3 is aluminum chloride.
</span><span>
Both of nitrogen and chlorine is nonmetal, but aluminum is metal. Metal with nonmetal will make an ionic compound that doesn't need prefixes.</span>
