The true molecular formula of the compound is C₂ClF₅

<h3>Determination of the mole of the compound </h3>
  • Volume (V) = 428 cm³ = 428 / 1000 = 0.428 L
  • Pressure (P) = 99.06 KPa = 99.06 / 101.325 = 0.978 atm
  • Temperature (T) = 24.3˚C = 24.3 + 273 = 297.3 K
  • Gas constant (R) = 0.0821 atm.L/Kmol
  • Number of mole (n) =?

The number of mole can be obtained as by using the ideal gas equation as illustrated below:

n = PV / RT

n = (0.978 × 0.428) / (0.0821 × 297.3)

n = 0.017 mole

<h3>How to determine the molar mass </h3>
  • Mole = 0.017 mole
  • Mass = 2.650 g
  • Molar mass =?

Molar mass = mass / mole

Molar mass = 2.650 / 0.017

Molar mass = 155.88 g/mol

<h3>How to determine the empirical formula</h3>
  • Carbon (C) = 15.5%
  • Chlorine (Cl) = 23%
  • Fluorine (F) = 61.5%
  • Empirical formula =?

Divide by their molar mass

C = 15.5 / 12 = 1.292

Cl = 23 / 35.5 = 0.648

F = 61.5 / 19 = 3.237

Divide by the smallest

C = 1.292 / 0.648 = 2

Cl = 0.648 / 0.648 = 1

F = 3.237 / 0.648 = 5

Thus, the empirical formula of the compound is C₂ClF₅

<h3>How to determine the molecular formula </h3>
  • Molar mass of compound = 155.88 g/mol
  • Empirical formula = C₂ClF₅
  • Molecular formula =?

Molecular formula = empirical × n = molar mass

[C₂ClF₅]ₙ = 118.084

[(12×2) + 35.5 + (19×5)]ₙ = 155.88

154.5n = 155.88

Divide both side by 154.5

n = 155.88 / 154.5

n = 1

Molecular formula = [C₂ClF₅]ₙ

Molecular formula = [C₂ClF₅]1

Molecular formula = C₂ClF₅

How many electrons will a neon (Ne) atom have when it has no charge?
Darya [45]

Answer:

hope it helps you

Explanation:

Once one shell is full, the next electron that is added has to move to the next shell. So... for the element of NEON, you already know that the atomic number tells you the number of electrons. That means there are 10 electrons in a neon atom.
