Answer:

Compounds 1 and 2 are not the same

Explanation:

To solve this question we need to find the molecular formula of the compounds converting the mass of each atom to moles.

<em>Molecular formula is defined as the simplest whole number ratio of atoms present in a molecula:</em>

<em />

Compound 1:

<em>Moles Tin: </em>

5.63g Sn * (1mol / 118.7g) = 0.04743 moles

<em>Moles Cl:</em>

3.37g Cl * (1mol / 35.45g) = 0.09506 moles

Ratio Cl:Sn

0.09506 moles / 0.04743 moles = 2

Molecular formula SnCl₂

Compound 2:

<em>Moles Tin: </em>

2.5g Sn * (1mol / 118.7g) = 0.02106 moles

<em>Moles Cl:</em>

2.98g Cl * (1mol / 35.45g) = 0.08406 moles

Ratio Cl:Sn

0.08406 moles / 0.02106 moles = 4

Molecular formula SnCl₄

Compounds 1 and 2 are not the same because molecular formulas are different.

Complete the acid-base reaction between butyric acid HC4H7O2 and potassium hydroxide KOH.
Lilit [14]

An acid-base reaction or a neutralization reaction is a <u>chemical reaction that occurs between an acid and a base producing a salt and water</u>. The acids and bases can be strong or weak depending on their degree of ionization in water.

Butyric acid is a weak acid and in water it is ionized in the following way, loosing a proton (H+):

HC4H7O2 (aq) ⇆ H+ (aq) + C4H7O2- (aq)

On the other hand, potassium hydroxide is a strong base, so it will be completely ionized in water:

KOH(aq) → K+(aq) + OH-(aq)

Then the <u>net acid-base reaction</u> between butyric acid and KOH is:

HC4H7O2 (aq) + OH- (aq) ⇆ H2O + C4H7O2- (aq)

It is valid to consider only the OH- produced from the ionization of KOH in water since, as mentioned, this molecule is completely ionized. Also, we do not include the K + in the net equation since it is a spectator ion, it does not undergo chemical changes.

Which statement best describes the compressibility of a gas? A Increasing the temperature of a gas decreases the pressure. B Inc
k0ka [10]

The answer is C. Compressing the air reduces the volume and increases the pressure. Compressing the air causes the molecules to collide with one another, and with the walls of the container, at a higher frequency. This is becaue the number of molecules are still the same but now forced in a smaller volume of space. This why the pressure increases wiht reduced volume, while keeping the temperatures constant.

Calculate the number of water (H2O) molecules produced from the decomposition of 75.50 grams of Iron (III) hydroxide (Fe(OH)3).
Phantasy [73]

Answer: 6.38\times 10^{23} molecules of water are produced.

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}    

\text{Moles of} Fe(OH)_3=\frac{75.50g}{106.8g/mol}=0.707moles

The balanced chemical reaction is:

2Fe(OH)_3\rightarrow Fe_2O_3+3H_2O  

According to stoichiometry :

2 moles of Fe_2O_3 produce = 3 moles of H_2O

Thus 0.707 moles of Fe_2O_3 will produce=\frac{3}{2}\times 0.707=1.06moles  of H_2O  

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

Thus 1.06 moles of H_2O contains = \frac{6.023\times 10^{23}}{1}\times 1.06=6.38\times 10^{23} molecules

What is the pH of a solution with an H3O+ concentration of 5.67 x 10-4 M?
Valentin [98]

Answer:

<h2>3.25 </h2>

Explanation:

The pH of a solution can be found by using the formula

pH = - log [ { H_3O}^{+}]

From the question we have

ph =  -  log(5.67 \times  {10}^{ - 4} )  \\  = 3.2464

We have the final answer as

<h3>3.25 </h3>

Hope this helps you

Which of an atom's electrons are inrolved in chemical reactions?
Scrat [10]

Answer:

Electrons at the outermost energy level of an atom are called valence electrons. They determine many of the properties of an element. That's because these electrons are involved in chemical reactions with other atoms. Shared electrons bind atoms together to form chemical compounds.
