A chemist working as a safety inspector finds an unmarked bottle in a lab cabinet. A note on the door of the cabinet says the ca

binet is used to store bottles of tetrahydrofuran, carbon tetrachloride, pentane, dimethyl sulfoxide, and acetone. The chemist plans to try to identify the unknown liquid by measuring the density and comparing to known densities. First, from his collection of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), the chemist finds the following information: liquid density of tetrahydrofuran 0.89·gcm^−3, carbon tetrachloride 1.6·gcm^−3, pentane 0.63·gcm^−3, dimethyl sulfoxide 1.1·gcm^−3, acetone 0.79·gcm^−3. Next, the chemist measures the volume of the unknown liquid as 0.852L and the mass of the unknown liquid as 938.g . Calculate the density of the liquid. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer:

DMSO

Explanation:

Volume of unknown liquid = 0.852L = 852mL or 852cm^3

Mass of unknown liquid = 938g

Density of unknown liquid = Mass of liquid / Volume of liquid

                                            = 938 / 852 = 1.100g/cm^3

From the given other data, the unknown liquid is Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as the MSDS of the mentioned liquid has been given 1.1g/cm^3

Is selenium tetrafluoride an ionic or covalent bond?
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Synthesis

The first reported synthesis of selenium tetrafluoride was by Paul Lebeau in 1907, who treated selenium with fluorine:[1]

Se + 2 F2 → SeF4

A synthesis involving more easily handled reagents entails the fluorination of selenium dioxide with sulfur tetrafluoride:[2]

SF4 + SeO2 → SeF4 + SO2

An intermediate in this reaction is seleninyl fluoride (SeOF2).

Other methods of preparation include fluorinating elemental selenium with chlorine trifluoride:

3 Se + 4 ClF3 → 3 SeF4 + 2 Cl2

Structure and bonding

Selenium in SeF4 has an oxidation state of +4. Its shape in the gaseous phase is similar to that of SF4, having a see-saw shape. VSEPR theory predicts a pseudo-trigonal pyramidal disposition of the five electron pairs around the selenium atom. The axial Se-F bonds are 177 pm with an F-Se-F bond angle of 169.2°. The two other fluorine atoms are attached by shorter bonds (168 pm), with an F-Se-F bond angle of 100.6°. In solution at low concentrations this monomeric structure predominates, but at higher concentrations evidence suggests weak association between SeF4 molecules leading to a distorted octahedral coordination around the selenium atom. In the solid the selenium center also has a distorted octahedral environment.

Reactions

In HF, SeF4 behaves as a weak base, weaker than sulfur tetrafluoride, SF4 (Kb= 2 X 10−2):

SeF4 + HF → SeF3+ + HF2−; (Kb = 4 X 10−4)

Ionic adducts containing the SeF3+ cation are formed with SbF5, AsF5, NbF5, TaF5, and BF3.[3] With caesium fluoride, CsF, the SeF5− anion is formed, which has a square pyramidal structure similar to the isoelectronic chlorine pentafluoride, ClF5 and bromine pentafluoride, BrF5.[4] With 1,1,3,3,5,5-hexamethylpiperidinium fluoride or 1,2-dimethylpropyltrimethylammonium fluoride, the SeF62− anion is formed. This has a distorted octahedral shape which contrasts to the regular octahedral shape of the analogous SeCl62−. [5]

The mass in g of 3 moles Al .
Damm [24]

Answer:

81 gm

Explanation:

The mass of 1 mole is 27 g

So, Mass of 3 moles of Aluminium would be 3 × 27 = 81 gm..Thus mass of 3 Moles of Aluminium is 81 gm.
