Answer is: formula of the complex is [Cr(NH₃)₂(SCN)₄<span>]</span>⁻<span>.
This complex has negative charge (-1) because chromium (central atom or metal) has oxidation number +3, first ligand ammonia has neutral charge and second ligand thiocyanate has negative oxidation number -1:
+3 + 2</span>·0 + 4·(-1) = -1.
Density is found by dividing mass over volume:
d=M/V. In this problem, we know the density, and the mass. Solve the general equation for volume, then enter the values from the problem and evaluate:
d=m/v [multiply v to both sides, then divide d from both sides]
v=m/d
v=83.8g/(2.33g/cm³)
v=35.965 cm³
v=36.0 cm³ to three significant figures (since your given information only has 3 sig figs)
The answer is calcium chloride.
As given:
Initial moles of P taken = 2 mol
the products are R and Q
at equilibrium the moles of
R = x
total moles = 2 + x/2
Let us check for each reaction
A) P <-> 2Q+R
Here if x moles of P gets decomposed it will give 2x moles of Q and x moles of R
So at equilibrium
moles of P left = 2- x
moles of Q = 2x
moles of R = x
Total moles = (2-x) + 2x + x = 2 +2x
B) 2P <-> 2Q+R
Here x moles of P will give x moles of Q and x/2 moles of R
So at equilibrium
moles of P left = 2- x
moles of Q = x
moles of R = x/2
Total moles = (2-x) + x + x/2 = 2 + x/2
C) 2P <-> Q+R
Here x moles of P will give x/2 moles of Q and x/2 moles of R
So at equilibrium
moles of P left = 2- x
moles of Q = x /2
moles of R = x/2
Total moles = (2-x) + x + x = 2
D) 2P <-> Q+2R
Here x moles of P will give x/2 moles of Q and x moles of R
So at equilibrium
moles of P left = 2-x
moles of Q = x/2
moles of R = x
Total moles = (2-x) + x/2 + x = 2 + x/2
