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.

You start with 100mL of 14M HNO3 and 10grams of copper metal. How many moles of the nitrogen dioxide gas will be produced?

givi [52]

Answer:

0.316 moles are produced.

Explanation:

We state the redox reaction:

4HNO₃ + Cu → Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2NO₂ + 2H₂O

We need to determine the limting reactant:

0.1 L . 14 M = 1.4 moles

10 g . 1mol/ 63.54g =0.158 mol

Cu is the limiting reactant. Let's see

4 moles of acid need 1 mol of Cu to react

1.4 moles of acid may react to (4 . 1) / 1.4 = 0.35 moles

We do not have enough Cu.

1 mol of Cu can produce 1 mol of NO₂

Then 0.158 moles will produce, 0.316 moles. (double of moles)

If we see stoichiometry, ratio is 1:2

Consider two different solutions of the same UV-absorbing compound. Upon UV-analysis, Solution B gave an absorbance of 1.0 and S

Juliette [100K]

We have that the Concentration of solution B is 2.5 times more than solution A's concentration.

<h3>UV(Ultra violent) rays</h3>

Question Parameters:

Upon UV-analysis, Solution B gave an absorbance of 1.0

Solution A gave an absorbance of 0. 4

Generally the equation for the Absorbance is mathematically given as

A = e*c*L

Therefore

For A solution

$0.4 = e*[cA]*L$

For B solution

$1.0 = e*[cB]*L$

Hence

$\frac{0.4}{ 1} = \frac{[cA]}{ cB}$

[cB] = 2.5 [cA]

Therefore

Concentration of solution B is 2.5 times more than solution A's concentration.

The density of water is about 1.0 g/mL at room temperature. Briefly explain how the density of an aqueous solution at room tempe

maksim [4K]

Answer:

The density of water is about 1.0 g/mL at room temperature.

Briefly explain how the density of an aqueous solution at room temperature can be significantly less than 1.0 g/mL.

Give an example of such a solution.

Explanation:

That means 1.0mL of water weighs ---- 1.0g

If any other aqueous solution which has mass less than 1.0g will have density less than 1.0g.

For example aqueous solution of sulfuric acid has density 0.98g/mL.

That means 1mL of sulfuric acid has mass 0.98g.
