empirical = C3HF2, molecular = C24H8F16

Explanation:

VIEW ON LAPTOP TO AVOID SPACING ERRORS                    

                     carbon                   hydrogen                   fluorine

mass             18.24                       0.51                           16.91

no. of            18.24/12                  0.51/1                         16.91/19

moles            = 1.52                     = 0.51                         = 0.89

ratio             1.52/0.51                  0.51/0.51                    0.89/0.51

                    ≈ 3                           = 1                               ≈ 2

empirical formula = C3HF2

(find number of moles by dividing mass by element's mass number. find ratio by dividing number of moles by overall smallest number of moles, in this case hydrogen)

__________________________________

let the molecular formula be (C3HF2)n

molar mass = 562.0g/mol

*[3(12) + 1 + 2(19)]n = 562.0

n = 562/75

  = 7.49

  ≈ 8

molecular formula = (C3HF2)8

                              = C24H8F16

*substitute C, H, and F with their mass numbers

Which statement is correct? A. pKa is not an indicator of acid strength. B. An acid with a small Ka is stronger than an acid wit
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Since [pKa = - log Ka]....hence..,the larger the Ka value,the stronger the acid is..so this means that the pKa is vice versa

Saying that the smaller the pKa value..the stronger the acid is.

Which is a factor in determining the average atomic mass of an element?
kvasek [131]
The factor in determining the average atomic mass of an element is: 
B or 2 relative abundance of each isotope because the by looking at how many protons , electrons and neutrons the most isotope is of the element has relative abundance.

In which instance is a gas most likely to behave as an ideal gas?A.) At low temperatures, because the molecules are always far a
kiruha [24]

Answer:

C.) At room temperature and pressure, because intermolecular interactions are minimized and the particles are relatively far apart.

Explanation:

For gas to behave as an ideal gas there are 2 basic assumptions:

  • The intermolecular forces (IMF) are neglectable.
  • The volume of the gas is neglectable in comparison with the volume of the container.

<em>In which instance is a gas most likely to behave as an ideal gas?</em>

<em>A.) At low temperatures, because the molecules are always far apart.</em> FALSE. At low temperatures, molecules are closer and IMF are more appreciable.

<em>B.) When the molecules are highly polar, because IMF are more likely.</em> FALSE. When IMF are stronger the gas does not behave as an ideal gas.

<em>C.) At room temperature and pressure, because intermolecular interactions are minimized and the particles are relatively far apart.</em> TRUE.

<em>D.) At high pressures, because the distance between molecules is likely to be small in relation to the size of the molecules.</em> FALSE. At high pressures, the distance between molecules is small and IMF are strong.

How many grams of aluminum metal can be produced when 50.0 grams of aluminum chloride decompose? 2AlCl3 → 2Al + 3Cl2
Arisa [49]

Answer:

10.1 g of Al are formed

Explanation:

The reaction is:

2AlCl3 --> 2Al + 3Cl2

So 2 moles of aluminun chloride decompose into 2 moles of Al and 3 moles of chlorine.

Ratio is 2:2.

Let's convert the mass of salt into moles (mass / molar mass)

50 g / 133.34 g/mol = 0.374 moles.

As the ratio is 2: 2, if I have 0.374 moles of salt, I would produce the same amount of Al, just 0.374.

Let's convert the moles to mass

(Mol . molar mass)

0.374 mol . 26.98 g / mol = 10.1 g of Al are formed
