Answer:

CHCl₃

Explanation:

We have the following data:

C = 5.03 g

H = 0.42 g

Cl= 44.5 g

First, we divide each mass by the molar mass (MM) of the chemical element to calculate the moles:

MM(C) = 12 g/mol

moles of C = mass/MM(C) = 5.03 g/(12 g/mol) = 0.42 mol C

MM(H) = 1 g/mol

moles of H = mass/MM(H) = 0.42 g/(1 g/mol) = 0.42 mol H

MM(Cl) = 35.4 g/mol

moles of Cl = mass/MM(Cl) = 44.5 g/(35.4 g/mol) = 1.26 mol Cl

Now, we divide the moles by the smallest number of moles (0.42):

0.42 mol C/0.42 = 1 C

0.42 mol H/0.42 = 1 H

1.26 mol Cl/0.42 = 3 Cl

Thus, the C:H:Cl ratio is 1:1:3.

Therefore, the empirical formula is CHCl₃

Find the mass in grams of 2.65 x 10^24 molecules of cl2
Alina [70]
Moles of Cl2 = 2.65 x 10^24 / 6.02 x 10^23 = 4.4 moles.

Mass of Cl2 in grams = molar mass of Cl2 x moles of Cl2
                                     = 70.906 x 4.4
                                     = 311.98 grams.

Hope this helps!

A 1.42-g sample of a pure compound with formula m2so4 was dissolved in water and treated with an ex- cess of aqueous calcium chl
solong [7]

The reaction between m_{2}SO_{4} with calcium chloride can be shown as-m_{2}SO_{4}+CaCl_{2}→CaSO_{4}↓+2mCl. The molecular weight of CaSO_{4} is 136.14g. The weight of sulfate ion is 96.06g. The molecular weight of m_{2}SO_{4} = (2×m + 96.06). From the reaction we can see that 1 mole of calcium chloride reacts with 1 molesm_{2}SO_{4} to produce 1 mole of calcium sulfate. Now 1.36g of calcium sulfate is equivalent to 1.36/136.14=9.989×10^{-3} moles of calcium sulfate.

Thus, 9.989×10^{-3} moles of m_{2}SO_{4} reacts in this reaction.

Let assume the atomic mass of m is x thus the molecular weight of m_{2}SO_{4} is 2x+96.

So we may write 9.989×10^{-3}× (2x+96) =1.42

Or, 2x + 96 = 142.146

Or, 2x = 46.146

Or, x = 23.073

Thus the atomic mass of m is 23.073. The atom (m) is sodium (Na).

polet [3.4K]
I remember coming across this question and the options were:
KOH, HCN, NH₃, HI, Sr(OH)₂

Now, a substance with a low pH is one that dissociates completely in water to release hydrogen ions, while basic substances dissociate completely to release hydroxide ions. Therefore, in the order of increasing pH:
HI, HCN, NH₃, Sr(OH)₂, KOH

A gas that effuses through a porous cylinder 1.87 times faster than chlorine gas. what is the molar mass and identity.
Rufina [12.5K]
From the Graham's law of effusion;
R1/R2 = √MM2/√MM1
Molar mass of chlorine gas is 71
Therefore;
1.87= √ 71 /√mm1
= 1.87² = 71/mm1 
mm1 = 71/1.87²
         = 71/3.4969
         = 20.3
Thus, the molar mass of the other gas is 20.3 , and i think the gas is neon
