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. Molecular formula is defined as the simplest whole number ratio of atoms present in a molecula:

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.

Hey please answer this for me thanks.
Aleks [24]

Explanation:

Moles of N2 = 84/28 = 3.0mol

Moles of H2 = 29/2 = 14.5mol

Hence amount of ammonia produced = 6.0 * 17 = 102g.

What are all the intermolecular forces present in a sample of BrF?
yuradex [85]

Answer:

dipole-dipole

Explanation:

Intermolecular forces exists between the molecules of a substance in a particular state of matter.

The type of intermolecular forces present in  a substance is determined by the electronegativity difference between the atoms that compose the substance.

There is a non zero electronegativity difference  between Br and F hence the molecule is polar and the intermolecular forces between the molecules of BrF are dipole-dipole forces.

Write a hypothesis about the effect of dry conditions on earthworm behavior. Use the "if . . . then . . .
Vlada [557]

sorry about the late response...

<u>If an earthworm is exposed to dry conditions, then it will retreat to a moist place because its skin needs to stay moist for the earthworm to survive.</u>
