Answer:

2 K(s) + Cl₂ (g) --> 2 KCl(s)

Explanation:

Potassium will just be K

Chlorine gas is part of BrIClHOF, which are diatomic gasses. So Cl₂

Looking at the periodic table potassium K has an ion charge of +1 and chlorine Cl has an ion charge of -1, so in a balanced compound they will be written as KCl

Balancing the amounts of each will lead to 2 K(s) + Cl₂ (g) --> 2 KCl(s)

What would be the pH of an H2SO4 solution if the [H+] = 4.58 x 10-5 moles/liter?

Ghella [55]

Answer: pH of an $H_2SO_4$ solution is 4.34

Explanation:

pH or pOH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

$pH=-\log [H^+]$

$H_2SO_4\rightarrow 2H^++SO_4^{2-}$

Putting in the values:

$pH=-\log[4.58\times 10^{-5}]$

$pH=4.34$

Thus pH of an $H_2SO_4$ solution if the $[H^+]$ is $4.58\times 10^{-5}]$ is 4.34

What is the mole fraction of NaCl in a mixture containing 7.21 moles NaCl, 9.37 moles KCL, and 3.42

GrogVix [38]

Answer : The mole fraction of NaCl in a mixture is, 0.360

Explanation : Given,

Moles of $NaCl$ = 7.21 mole

Moles of $KCl$ = 9.37 mole

Moles of $LiCl$ = 3.42 mole

Now we have to calculate the mole fraction of $NaCl$ .

$\text{Mole fraction of }NaCl=\frac{\text{Moles of }NaCl}{\text{Moles of }NaCl+\text{Moles of }KCl+\text{Moles of }LiCl}$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

$\text{Mole fraction of }NaCl=\frac{7.21}{7.21+9.37+3.42}=0.360$

Therefore, the mole fraction of NaCl in a mixture is, 0.360

Allena and Charissa were discussing whether Cl2 is an element or a compound. Allena said that it is an element because it has on

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer is: Allena is correct. It is an element because it is only made of chlorine atoms.
A chemical element bonded to an identical chemical element is not a chemical compound since it is made from only one element and not from two different elements. Chlorine is molecule, but not compound.

How to do dots and cross diagrams

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Draw circles to represent the electron shell of each atom overlapping the circles where the atoms are bonded. Add dots to represent the outer electrons of one type of atom (H). Add crosses to represent the outer electrons of the other type of atom (Cl). Make sure the electrons are always in pairs.
