<span>H2O2 First, let's determine how many moles of hydrogen and oxygen atoms we have. Start by looking up the atomic weights of those elements: Atomic weight hydrogen = 1.00794 Atomic weight oxygen = 15.999 Moles hydrogen = 1.33 g / 1.00794 g/mol = 1.319522987 mol Moles oxygen = 21.3 g / 15.999 g/mol = 1.331333208 mol We now have a ratio of 1.319522987 : 1.331333208 and we want a ratio of small integers that is close. Start by dividing all the numbers in the ratio by the smallest value, giving: 1 : 1.008950371 This ratio is acceptably close to 1:1 so I assume the formula is of the form HnOn where n is a small integer. Let's initially assume that n is 1, so the mass would be 1.00794 + 15.999 = 17.00694 Obviously 17 is far smaller than 34.1. So let's divide 34.1 by 17.00694 and see what n should be: 34.1 / 17.00694 = 2.005063815 So the formula we want is H2O2, which is hydrogen peroxide.</span>

You are working in your laboratory and decide to do some cleaning. You find a test tube with some brown substance congealed at t
Anna [14]

Answer:

  • <em>The mystery substance is</em> <u>C. Bromine (Br) </u>

Explanation:

<em>Argon (Ar) </em>is a noble gas. Whose freezing point is -189 °C (very low), thus it cannot be the frozen substance. Also, it is not reactive, thus is would have not reacted with iron. Hence, argon is not the mystery substance.

<em>Scandium (Sc) </em>is a metal from group 3 of the periodic table, thus is will not react with iron. Thus, scandium is not the mystery substance.

Both <em>bromine</em> and <em>iodine</em> are halogens (group 17 of the periodic table).

The freezing point of bromine is −7.2 °C, ​and the freezing point of iodine is 113.7 °C. Thus, both could be solids (frozen) in the lab.

The reactivity of the halogens decrease from top to bottom inside the group. Bromine is above iodine. Then bromine is more reactive than iodine.

Bromine is reactive enough to react with iron. Iodine is not reactive enough to react with iron.

You can find in the internet that bromine vapour over hot iron reacts  producing iron(III) bromide. Also, that bromine vapors are red-brown.

Therefore, <em>the mystery substance is bromine (Br).</em>

__ CaSO4 + ____AIP --&gt; ____Ca3P2 + ____AI2(SO4)3
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

4.89 mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

This is a double displacement reaction.

3 CaSO₄ + 2 AIP ⇒ Ca₃P₂ + AI₂(SO₄)₃

Step 2: Establish the appropriate molar ratio

According to the balanced equation, the molar ratio of CaSO₄ to AlP is 3:2.

Step 3: Calculate the moles of AlP needed to react with 7.33 moles of CaSO₄

We will use the previously established molar ratio.

7.33 mol CaSO₄ × 2 mol AlP/3 mol CaSO₄ = 4.89 mol AlP
