Answer: The empirical formula of the compound is
Explanation:
Mass of Copper (Cu) = 1.23 g
Mass of Chlorine (Cl) = Mass of copper chloride - mass of copper = (2.61 - 1.23) g = 1.38 g
Step 1 : convert given masses into moles
Moles of Cu =
Moles of Cl =
Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.
For Cu =
For Cl =
The ratio of Cu : Cl = 1 : 2
Hence the empirical formula is
Answer: option D. The attractive forces between the sodium and chloride ions are overcome by the attractive forces between the water and the sodium and chloride ions.
Explanation:
<em>Solid sodium chloride</em> (NaCl) is a ionic compound formed by ionic bonds between by the positive, metallic cations of sodium atom, Na⁺, and the negative, non-meatllic anions of chlorine atom, Cl⁻ (chloride).
Ionic bonds, then, are the electrostatic attracion between oppositely charged particles (cations and anions).
<em />
<em>When solid sodium chloride dissolves in water</em>, the ions (cations and anions) are separated in the solvent (water) due to the superior attracitve forces between such ions and the polar water molecules.
<em>Water</em> (H₂O) is a molecule, formed by polar covalent bonds between two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
The polarity of water molecule is due to the fact that oxygen atoms are more electronegative than hydrogen atoms, which cause that the electron density is closer to oxygen nuclei than to hydrogen nuclei. This asymmetry in the electron density conferes a partial positive charge over each hydrogen atom and a partial negative charge over the oxygen atoms.
Thus, the positively charged hydrogen atoms attract and surround the negative chloride (Cl⁻) anions, while the negatively charged oxygen atoms attract and surround the positive sodium (Na⁺) cations. It is only because the attractive forces between the water and the sodium and chloride ions are stronger than the attractive forces between the sodiium and chloride ions that such ions may be kept separated in the solution. This process is called solvation and the ions are said to be solvated by the water molecules.

<h3>
Answer:</h3>
54 g
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
- The reaction between carbon and oxygen gas is given by the equation;
C(s) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g)
We are given;
18 g of Carbon
72 g of Carbon dioxide
- We need to calculate the amount of oxygen needed for the reaction.
- From the law of conservation of mass in chemical equation, the mass of the reactants is equal to the mass of the product.
Therefore;
Mass of Oxygen gas + mass of the carbon = Mass of carbon dioxide
Therefore;
Mass of Oxygen gas = mass of carbon dioxide - mass of carbon
= 72 g - 18 g
= 54 g
Therefore, the mass of Oxygen needed would be 54 g
The short pea plant will be recessive while the tall pea plant will be the dominant.
When a dominant and a recessive allele are combined, the dominant allele covers up the recessive allele. Making it so that the recessive allele usually not show up.
