Answer:

C. 65.5 g PF3 x (1 mole / 87.97 g PF3)

Explanation:

Dimensional analysis can be used to find the amount of moles in 65.5 grams of PF3 gas.

First we would need to determine relevant conversions.

We would need to find the molar mass of PF3 which is already given ( 87.97 g / mol )

So 1 mole of PF3 = 87.97g

From there we can create the dimensional analysis table which will look something like the attached image.

This table correspond with answer choice C.

Reasons it's not the other answer choices.

It wouldn't be A because the units must cancel out and they don't as grams is being multiplied by grams

It would be B because it doesn't use correct units.

There are not 87.97 moles in 1 gram of PF3. There are 87.97 grams in 1 mole of PF3

Using bond lengths in Table 9.2 (p. 371) and assuming ideal geometry, calculate each of the following distances:

Fed [463]

158 pm is the distance Between equatorial Fluorine atoms in PF₅(Phosphorus pentafluoride).

<h3>What is Fluorine?</h3>

The chemical element fluorine has an atomic number of 9 and the symbol F. The lightest halogen, it is an extremely poisonous, pale yellow diatomic gas under normal conditions. It is exceedingly reactive and, as the most electronegative element, reacts with all other elements with the exception of argon, neon, and helium.

Fluorine is the 24th most abundant element overall and the 13th most abundant on Earth. In order to decrease the melting temperatures of metal ores for smelting, fluorite, the main mineral source of fluorine, was added. The Latin verb fluo, which means "flow," gave the mineral its name. Fluorite was first described in 1529.

Using complete sentences, explain how to predict the products and balance the reaction between sulfuric acid and potassium hydro

Dahasolnce [82]

The product(s) of the reaction are to be determined given the reactants, sulfuric acid and potassium hydroxide. sulfuric acid is an acid, whereas potassium hydroxide is a basic. The results of this neutralizing process are salt and water.

<h3>What is the reaction between sulfuric acid and potassium hydroxide?</h3>

The result will be, H+ from H₂SO₄ reacts with OH- from KOH to generate H₂O. Also, K+ reacts with SO₄²⁻ to create K₂SO4₄

As a result, the balanced equation will be:

$\rm H_2SO_4 + 2KOH --- > K_2SO_4 + 2H_2O$

Thus, the product(s) of the reaction are to be determined given the reactants, sulfuric acid and potassium hydroxide. Sulfuric acid is an acid, whereas potassium hydroxide is a basic. The results of this neutralizing process are salt and water.

The ksp of cadmium hydroxide, cd(oh)2, is 7.20 × 10-15. calculate the solubility of this compound in g/l.

olga nikolaevna [1]

When the solubility is the amount of solute that dissolved in a unit volume of the solvent.

and when the balanced reaction equation is:

so, by using the ICE table:

Cd(OH)2(s) ↔ Cd2+ + 2OH-

initial 0 0

change +X +2X

Equ X 2X

so the Ksp expression = [Cd2+] [OH-]^2

and we have Ksp = 7.2 x 10^-15

and when we assume the solubility = X

by substitution:

7.2 x 10^-15 = (X) (2X)^2

7.2 x 10^-15 = X*4X^2

7.2 x 10^-15 = 4X^3

∴X = ∛(7.2x10^-15)/4

= 1.22 x 10^-5 M

∴ the solubility = X = 1.22 x 10^-5 M
