Consider this reaction involving an unknown element X. F2+2XBr⟶Br2+2XF When 1.300 g of XBr reacts, 0.7241 g of Br2 is produced.

Calculate the molar mass of X, and then identify its element symbol.

The molar mass of X would be 63.55 g/mol and the chemical symbol of X would be Cu (copper).

From the equation of the reaction: F2+2XBr⟶Br2+2XF

The mole ratio of XBr to Br2 is 2:1

Mole of Br2 = mass/molar mass

                      = 0.7241/159.808

                       = 0.004531 mole

Mole of XBr = 2 x mole of Br2

                      = 2 x 0.004531

                        = 0.009062 mole

Molar mass of XBr = mass/mole

                            = 1.300/0.009062

                                 = 143.456 g/mol

Since the molar mass of Br is 79.904, the molar of X would be:

                             143.456 - 79.904

                                   = 63.55 g/mol

Hence, X would be Cu.

Why is a quantitative observation more useful than a non-quantitative one? Which of the following are quantitative?
Strike441 [17]

Explanation:

An observation that can be counted is known as quantitative observation. On the other hand, an observation that does not contain any numerical data is known as non-quantitative observation.

Therefore, given observations are classified as follows.

(a)  The Sun rises in the east - It is a non-quantitative observation as it cannot be measured.

(b)  A person weighs one-sixth as much on the Moon as on Earth - It is a quantitative observation as it can be measured because we know the mass of moon. Hence, we can find out the weight of person.

(c) Ice floats on water - It is a non-quantitative observation as it cannot be measured.

(d)  A hand pump cannot draw water from a well more than 34 ft deep _ It is a quantitative observation because it is measure that more than 34 ft deep water cannot be drawn by the pump.

In micelles: Question options: A) non-polar ends form hydrophilic interactions with water. B) polar ends form hydrophobic intera
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

E

Explanation:

A miscelle has a an ionic head which is hydrophillic and interacts effectively with water, helping the miscelle to dissolve. The tail is hydrophobic, it dissolve the grease or stain and removes it from the fabric. The hydrophobic tail extends outside the water, while the hydrophillic head extends into the water. This enables the cleansing action of soap
