In naming the compound PCl5, the prefix used with the second element is ____________________.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Oksanka [162]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf Hepta}}

Explanation:

We are given the formula:

PCl_5

This is a molecular formula, because it contains nonmetals.

1. Name the first element

The first element is phosphorous (P). Since this is the first element and there is only one, we don't need a prefix.

  • Phosphorous

2. Second element

The second element is chlorine (Cl). It has a subscript of 5, so we must add the prefix of <u>hepta</u>-.

  • Phosphorous heptachlorine

Add the ending of -ide.

  • Phosphorous heptachloride

The prefix used for the second element is hepta. The compound name is phosphorous heptachloride.

Which of the following CANNOT be determined by looking at the spectra of a star? *
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

A:temperature

Explanation:

The temperature cannot be determined by looking at the spectra of the star due to lack of the equipment for its measurement. <em>On the other-hand, the remaining statements like the distance from earth, movement towards or away from earth can be determined.</em>

4. The reaction of silver nitrate and potassium bromide yields silver bromide and potassium nitrate. If
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

1.) AgNO₃

2.) 0.563 moles AgBr

Explanation:

The limiting reagent is the reagent that is used up completely during a reaction. It can be identified by calculating which reactant produces the smallest amount of product. This can be done by determining the number of moles of each reagent (via molarity conversion). and then converting it to moles of the product (via mole-to-mole ratio).

AgNO₃ (aq) + KBr (aq) ---> AgBr (s) + KNO₃ (aq)

Molarity (M) = moles / liters

100 mL = 1 L

AgNO₃

45.0 mL / 100 = 45.0 L

1.25 M = ? moles / 0.450 L

? moles = 0.563 moles

KBr

75.0 mL / 100 = 0.750 L

0.800 M = ? moles / 0.750 L

? moles = 0.600 moles

In this case, there is no need to use the mole-to-mole ratio because all of the coefficients are one in the reaction (the amount of the limiting reagent used is the same amount of product produced). Since AgNO₃ produces the smaller amount of product, it is the limiting reagent.
