Answer:

Answer is B.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the theories of acids and bases and the definition of salt, the result of the reaction when an acid reacts with a base; it is possible to find three types of salts; acidic, basic and neutral.

Acidic salts come from the reaction of a strong acid and a weak base.

Neutral salts come from reaction between a strong acid and a strong base.

Basic salts come from the reaction between a weak acid and a strong base.

Thus, the answer would be b.

Best regards!

Why do the ocean currents move from the equator towards the poles?

elena-s [515]

Hey there!

The reason why ocean currents move from the equator towards the poles are because the wind push the water's away from the equator and toward the poles, so pretty much, let's blame this on the wind, it's the wind's fault not ours. But yes, your correct answer to this question above would be of that the wind's push the water's away from the equator and to the poles.

Hope this helps you buddy!

What is the [OH–] in a solution with a pOH of 4.22? 1.7 x 10–10 M 6.0 x 10–5 M 6.3 x 10–1 M 1.7 x 104 M

lisov135 [29]

POH=4.22

pOH = -lg[OH⁻]

[OH⁻]=10^(-pOH)

[OH⁻]=10⁻⁴·²² = 6.0×10⁻⁵ mol/L

6.0×10⁻⁵ M

Determine the empirical and molecular formula for chrysotile asbestos. Chrysotile has the following percent composition: 28.03%

nlexa [21]

Answer: The empirical and molecular formula of chrysotile is $Mg_3Si_2H_3O_4$ and $Mg_6Si_4H_6O_{16}$

Explanation:

We are given:

Percentage of Mg = 28.03 %

Percentage of Si = 21.60 %

Percentage of H = 1.16 %

Percentage of O = 49.21 %

Let the mass of compound be 100 g. So, percentages given are taken as mass.

Mass of Mg = 28.03 g

Mass of Si = 21.60 g

Mass of H = 1.16 g

Mass of O = 49.21 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Magnesium = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Magnesium}}{\text{Molar mass of Magnesium}}=\frac{28.03g}{24g/mole}=1.17moles$

Moles of Silicon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Silicon}}{\text{Molar mass of Silicon}}=\frac{21.06g}{28g/mole}=0.752moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{1.16g}{1g/mole}=1.16moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{49.21g}{16g/mole}=3.07moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.752 moles.

For Magnesium = $\frac{1.17}{0.752}=1.5$

For Silicon = $\frac{0.752}{0.752}=1$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{1.16}{0.752}=1.5$

For Oxygen = $\frac{3.07}{0.485}=4.08\approx 4$

To convert the mole ratios into whole numbers, we multiply individual mole ratios by 2

Mole ratio of Magnesium = (2 × 1.5) = 3

Mole ratio of Silicon = (2 × 1) = 2

Mole ratio of Hydrogen = (2 × 1.5) = 3

Mole ratio of Oxygen = (2 × 4) = 8

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of Mg : Si : H : O = 3 : 2 : 3 : 8

The empirical formula for the given compound is $Mg_3Si_2H_3O_8$

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is :

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular mass}}{\text{Empirical mass}}$

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 520.8 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = [(24 × 3) + (28 × 2) + (1 × 3) + (16 × 8)] = 259 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{520.8g/mol}{259g/mol}=2$

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

$Mg_{(3\times 2)}Si_{(2\times 2)}H_{(3\times 2)}O_{(8\times 2)}=Mg_6Si_4H_6O_{16}$

Hence, the empirical and molecular formula of chrysotile is $Mg_3Si_2H_3O_4$ and $Mg_6Si_4H_6O_{16}$
