Answer:

The empirical formula is PCl3

Explanation:

Mass of P is 30.97 g, thus 1.523 g of P equivalent to 0.05 moles of P

Mass of Cl is 35.45 g, thus 5.228 g of Cl equivalent to 0.15 moles of Cl

Therefore moles of P : moles of Cl = 0.05:0.15 = 1:3

Therefore the empirical formula, PCl3

Air containing 20.0 mol% water vapor at an initial pressure of 1 atm absolute is cooled in a 1- liter sealed vessel from 200°C t

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

This solution is quite lengthy

Total system = nRT

n was solved to be 0.02575

nH20 = 0.2x0.02575

= 0.00515

Nair = 0.0206

PH20 = 0.19999

Pair = 1-0.19999

= 0.80001

At 15⁰c

Pair = 0.4786atm

I used antoine's equation to get pressure

The pressure = 0.50

2. Moles of water vapor = 0.0007084

Moles of condensed water = 0.0044416

Grams of condensed water = 0.07994

Please refer to attachment. All solution is in there.

Consider two gases, A and B, are in a container at room temperature. What effect will the following changes have on the rate of

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

B: increase.

Explanation:

When we are considering two gases A and B in a container at room temperature .

We have to find the change on rate of reaction when the number of molecules of gases A is doubled

Let [A]=a and [B]=b

A+B $\rightarrow$ product

Rate of reaction

$R_1=k[A][B]=kab$

We know that concentration is increases with increase in number of moles

When the number of molecules of gases A is doubled then concentration of gases A increases.

Therefore ,[A]=2a

Rate of reaction

$R_2=k(2a)(b)=2kab$

$R_2=2R_1$

Hence, the rate of reaction is 2 times the initial rate of reaction.Therefore, the rate of reaction will increase when the number of molecules of gases A is doubled.

Answer: B: increase.

Read the given expression. X = number of protons − number of core electrons Which of the following explains the identity of X an

shepuryov [24]

<u>Answer: </u>The correct statement is X is the effective nuclear charge, and it increases across a period.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given that:

X = number of protons − number of core electrons

Effective nuclear charge is defined as the actual nuclear charge (Z = number of protons) minus the screening effect caused by the electrons present between nucleus and valence electrons. These electrons are the core electrons.

The formula used for the calculation of effective nuclear charge given by Slater is:

$Z^*=Z-\sigma$

where,

$Z^*$ = effective nuclear charge

Z = atomic number or actual nuclear charge or number of protons

$\sigma$ = Screening constant

The effective nuclear charge increases as we go from left to right in a period because nuclear charge increases with no effective increase in screening constant.

Hence, the correct answer is X is the effective nuclear charge, and it increases across a period.

A sample of gas occupies 7.80 liters at 425°C? What will be the volume of the gas at 35°C if the pressure does not change?

balandron [24]

From ideal gas equation PV = nRT, V/T = nR/P ==> V/T = constant. Therefore V1/T1 = V2/T2 ==> 7.8/698 = V2/308. V = 3.44L {TEMPERATURE IN KELVIN = 273 + 425 AND 35 = 698 AND 308}
