r-ruslan [8.4K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

C. The lowest whole-number ratio of atoms in a molecule.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the definition of the empirical and the molecular equations, it is possible for us to consider the following example of molecular formula, C4H10, whose empirical formula is C2H5.

In such a way, it is possible for us to say that the empirical formula gives C. The lowest whole-number ratio of atoms in a molecule, as it is the result of the simplification of the molecular formula when possible.

Regards!

Agata [3.3K]

The reaction of acid, assuming HCl and calcium carbonate always produces a gas. The reaction is as follows:
2 HCl + CaCO3 --> CaCl2 + H2CO3 
H2CO3, carbonic acid, is a weak acid that is unstable in water solutions at high concentrations. As such, it decomposes: 
H2CO3 --> H2O + CO2 
Then, 
2 HCl + CaCO3 --> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2 
The total ionic equation looks as follows: 
2H+(aq) + 2 Cl-(aq) + CaCO3(s) --> Ca+2(aq) + 2 Cl-(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g) 
Clearly, Cl- is a spectator ion as it is unchanged in the reaction. The net ionic reaction looks as follows: 
2 H+(aq) + CaCO3(s) --> Ca+2(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

Gaseous hydrogen iodide is placed in a closed container at 425∘C, where it partially decomposes to hydrogen and iodine: 2HI(g)⇌H
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

0.0184

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction at equilibrium.

2 HI(g) ⇌ H₂(g) + I₂(g)

The concentration equilibrium constant (Kc) is equal to the product of the concentration of the products raised to their  stoichiometric coefficients divided by the product of the concentration of the reactants raised to their  stoichiometric coefficients.

Kc = [H₂] × [I₂] / [HI]²

Kc = (4.78 × 10⁻⁴) × (4.78 × 10⁻⁴) / (3.52 × 10⁻³)²

Kc = 0.0184
