Answer:

See below

Explanation:

The following reasons tell why atom combine to form compounds:

1) They want to follow octet or duplet rule and attain the noble gas configuration.

2) They combine to form compounds because of the electrostatic attraction between them.

3) They form compounds to lower their energy and to become stable.

In the background information, it was stated that CaF2 has solubility, at room temperature, of 0.00160 g per 100 g of water. How

____ [38]

Answer:

2.05*10⁻⁵ moles of CF₂ can dissolve in 100 g of water.

12.82 moles of CaF₂ will dissolve in exactly 1.00 L of solution

Explanation:

First, by definition of solubility, in 100 g of water there are 0.0016 g of CaF₂. So, to know how many moles are 0.0016 g, you must know the molar mass of the compound. For that you know:

Ca: 40 g/mole
F: 19 g/mole

So the molar mass of CaF₂ is:

CaF₂= 40 g/mole + 2*19 g/mole= 78 g/mole

Now you can apply the following rule of three: if there are 78 grams of CaF₂ in 1 mole, in 0.0016 grams of the compound how many moles are there?

$moles=\frac{0.0016 grams*1 mole}{78 grams}$

moles=2.05*10⁻⁵

2.05*10⁻⁵ moles of CF₂ can dissolve in 100 g of water.

Now, to answer the following question, you can apply the following rule of three: if by definition of density in 1 mL there is 1 g of CaF₂, in 1000 mL (where 1L = 1000mL) how much mass of the compound is there?

$mass of CaF_{2}=\frac{1000 mL*1g}{1mL}$

mass of CaF₂= 1000 g

Now you can apply the following rule of three: if there are 78 grams of CaF₂ in 1 mole, in 1000 grams of the compound how many moles are there?

$moles=\frac{1000 grams*1 mole}{78 grams}$

moles=12.82

12.82 moles of CaF₂ will dissolve in exactly 1.00 L of solution

If a volume of gas 177.6mL was collected at a temperature of 25.8C and the pressure is 799.7 torr, what is the original concentr

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

The original concentration of the acid was 0.605 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of gas = 177.6 mL = 0.1176 L

Temperature = 25.8 °C = 298.95 K

Pressure = 799.7 torr = 799.7/ 760 = 1.0522368 atm

Volume of acid needed to react = 12.6 mL = 0.0126 L

Step 2: Calculate moles

p*V = n*R*T

n = (p*V)/(R*T)

⇒with n = the number of moles = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with p = the pressure of the gas = 799.7 torr = 1.0522368 atm

⇒with V = the volume of the gas = 177.6 mL = 0.1776 L

⇒with R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/mol*K

⇒with T = the temperature = 25.8 °C = 298.95 K

n = 0.007618 moles

Step 3: Calculate original concentration

We need 0.007618 moles of acid to react with the same amount of moles gas

Concentration acid = moles / volume

Concentration acid = 0.007618 moles / 0.0126 L

Concentration acid = 0.605 M

The original concentration of the acid was 0.605 M
