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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Oksanka [162]2 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.

Use the image above and describe the
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

If you see in the image above, there is an unbalance force applied while playing tug of war. Since it is 1 vs 2, there is a greater net force in the right side then the left side. If it was 2 vs 2 or 1 vs 1, then they are appling balance force. You can also see in the picture that the arrows are pointing outwards (--->) rather then inwards (<---) because you are pulling the rope not pushing the rope. If you add one person on the left side, then the newtons which is 20N will become to 35N and will be balanced, but since there in only 1 person, there is less force on the left side, the newtons gets subtracted having only 20N. Since you are pulling the rope, the friction is opposite (<---). Since you are pulling the rope, you are using Kinetic force and the rope stays in potential force since it stays constant.

Hope this helps, thank you :) and I am not sure about magnitude I think you can that since there is greater force on the right side, there is more magnitude there.

.) Neon and HF have approximately the same molecular masses. a.)Explain why the boiling points of Neon and HF differ b.)Compare
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

a) The magnitude of intermolecular forces in compounds affects the boiling points of the compound. Neon has London dispersion forces as the only intermolecular forces operating in the substance while HF has dipole dipole interaction and strong hydrogen bonds operating in the molecule hence HF exhibits a much higher boiling point than Ne though they have similar molecular masses.

b) The boiling points of the halogen halides are much higher than that of the noble gases because the halogen halides have much higher molecular masses and stronger intermolecular forces between molecules compared to the noble gases.

Also, the change in boiling point of the hydrogen halides is much more marked(decreases rapidly)  due to decrease in the magnitude of hydrogen bonding from HF to HI. The boiling point of the noble gases increases rapidly down the group as the molecular mass of the gases increases.

One mole of a metallic oxide reacts with one mole of hydrogen to produce two moles of the pure metal
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

Lithium oxide, Li₂O.  

Explanation:

Hello!  

In this case, according to the given amounts, it is possible to write down the chemical reaction as shown below:

M_2O+H_2\rightarrow 2M+H_2O  

Which means that the metallic oxide has the following formula: M₂O. Next, we can set up the following proportional factors according to the chemical reaction:

5.00gM_2O*\frac{1molM_2O}{(2*X+16)gM_2O}*\frac{2molM}{1molM_2O}*\frac{XgM}{1molM}=2.32gM  

Thus, we perform the operations in order to obtain:

\frac{10X}{(2X+16)}=2.32  

So we solve for x as shown below:

10X=2.32(2X+16)\\\\10X=4.64X+37.12\\\\X=\frac{37.12}{10-4.64}\\\\X= 6.93g/mol  

Whose molar mass corresponds to lithium, and therefore, the metallic oxide is lithium oxide, Li₂O.  

Best regards!
