Answer:

24.6g of NaCl

Explanation:

Expression of the reaction:

2NaCl → 2Na + Cl₂

Given parameters:

Mass of Cl₂ = 15g

Unknown:

Mass of NaCl = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we have to use mole relationships.

Find the number of moles of the mass of the given specie;

Number of moles = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

Molar mass of Cl₂ = 2(35.5) = 71g/mol

Number of moles = $\frac{15}{71}$ = 0.21mole

Now;

From the balanced reaction equation;

1 mole of Cl₂ is produced from 2 moles of NaCl;

0.21 mole of Cl₂ will be produced from 0.21 x 2 = 0.42mole of NaCl

So,

Mass of NaCl = number of moles x molar mass

Molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5g/mol

Mass of NaCl = 0.42 x 58.5 = 24.6g of NaCl

Describe the difference in structure between beH2 and CaH2

katen-ka-za [31]

Hello!

BeH₂ is a linear molecule, while CaH₂ is an angular molecule.

The difference between these two molecules is given by the number of electrons they have. Be is in the 2nd period of the Periodic table, and the ion Be⁺² doesn't have any free electron pairs when bonding to H. Ca is in the 4 period of the periodic table, meaning that it has more electrons, and the ion Ca⁺² has two free electron pairs when bonding to H that makes the molecule angular by pushing the bonds at an angle by sterical hindrance.

Have a nice day!

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{0.50 mol/L}}$

Explanation:

The balanced equation is

2COF₂ ⇌ CO₂+CF₄; Kc = 9.00

1. Set up an ICE table

$\begin{array}{ccccc}\rm 2COF_{2} & \, \rightleftharpoons \, & \rm CO_{2} & +&\rm CF_{4}\\2.00& & 0& & 0\\-x& & +x & & +x\\2.00 - x& & x & &x \\\end{array}$

2. Solve for x

$K_{c} = \dfrac{[\rm CO][ \rm CF_{4}]}{[\rm COF_{2}]^{2}} = 9.00\\\\\begin{array}{rcl}\dfrac{x^{2}}{(2.00 - x)^{2}} & = & 9.00\\\dfrac{x}{2.00 - x} & = & 3.00\\x & = &3.00(2.00 - x)\\x & = & 6.00 - 3.00x\\4.00x & = & 6.00\\x & = & \mathbf{1.50}\\\end{array}$

3. Calculate the equilibrium concentration of COF₂

c = (2.00 - x) mol·L⁻¹ = (2.00 - 1.50) mol·L⁻¹ = 0.50 mol

$\text{The equilibrium concentration of COF$_{2}$ at equilibrium is $\boxed{\textbf{0.50 mol/L}}$}$

Check:

$\begin{array}{rcl}\dfrac{1.50^{2}}{0.50^{2}} & = & 9.00\\\\\dfrac{2.25}{0.25}& = & 9.00\\\\9.00 & = & 9.00\\\end{array}$

OK.

Q:Explain how a liquid is changed into a gas during boiling(heating) in terms of kinetic particle theory.

KatRina [158]

Answer:

A: as the liquid gets warmer more particles have sufficient energy to escape from the liquid. Eventually, particles in the middle of the liquid form bubbles of gas in the liquid.

A: the temperature will only increase once all the liquid particles change to gas.
