Answer:

Chemical formula is CoCl. 3H₂O

Explanation:

Data Given

Percentage of water = 45.43%

Percentage of CoCl. = 54.57%

Chemical Formula of the hydrates = ?

Solution:

First, find the mass of each of the part ( CoCl and water) in 100 g of the Compound.

Mass of CoCl = 28 + 35.5

Mass of CoCl = 63.5

Mass of H₂O = 18 g

Now find how many moles are there for each element in 100 g of compound

So,

The percentage will be count in grams for 100g in compound

Find the moles in total compounds

Formula Used for CoCl

mole of CoCl = mass of CoCl / Molar mass of CoCl

mole of CoCl = mole of  54.57 g / 63.5 g/mol

mole of CoCl = 0.859

Formula Used for H₂O

mole of H₂O = mass of H₂O/ Molar mass ofH₂O

mole of H₂O = 45.43 g / 18 g/mol

mole of  H₂O = 2.539

Now

To find the Chemical formula

Divide each one by the smallest number of moles

CoCl = 0.859 / 0.859

CoCl = 1

For H₂O

H₂O = 2.539  / 0.859

H₂O = 3

Multiply the mole fraction to a number to get the whole number.

CoCl =  1

H₂O  = 3

So,  

The Chemical formula is CoCl. 3H₂O

The answer is (2) equal to. In redox reactions, you can't just lose electrons somewhere. If an electrons is lost by one, it must be gained by another. Hence, the importance of balancing redox reactions.

A chemical plant produces ammonia using the following reaction at a very high temperature and pressure. Which design issue is mo
Lorico [155]

Answer:

D. The equipment needed to accommodate the high temperature and pressure will be expensive to produce.​

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, for the considered reaction, it is clear it is an exothermic reaction because it produces energy; and therefore, the higher the temperature the more reactants are yielded as the reverse reaction is favored. Moreover, since the effect of pressure is verified as favoring the side with fewer moles; in this case the products side (2 moles of ammonia).

In such a way, the high pressure favors the formation of ammonia whereas the high temperature the formation of hydrogen and nitrogen and therefore, option A is ruled out. Since the high pressure shifts the reaction rightwards and the high temperature leftwards, we would not be able to know whether the reaction has ended or not because it will be a "go and come back" process, that is why B is also discarded. Now, since hydrogen and nitrogen would be the "wastes", we discard C because they are not toxic. That is why the most accurate answer would be D. because it is actually true that such equipment is quite expensive.

Best regards!

The low-resolution mass spectrum of an unknown analgesic X had a molecular ion of 151. Possible molecular formulas include C7H5N
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

The molecular formula of X is C8H9NO2

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

exact mass of 151.0640

Molar mass of C = 12 g/mol

Molar mass of H = 1.00783 g/mol

Molar mass of O = 15.9949 g/mol

Molar mass of N = 14.0031 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate molar mass of C7H5NO3

7*12 + 5*1.00783 + 14.0031 + 3*15.9949 = 151.02695 g/mol

Step 3: Calculate molar mass of C8H9NO2

8*12 + 9*1.00783 + 14.0031 + 2*15.9949 = 151.06337 g/mol

Step 4: Calculate molar mass of C10H17N

10*12 + 17*1.00783 + 14.0031 = 151.13621 g/mol

The molecular formula of X is C8H9NO2
