Answer:
So X has an atomic mass of 55.05 u, and is probably Mn
Explanation:
<u>Step1: </u>Balance the equation
XI2 +Cl2 → XCl2 + I2
<u>Step2:</u> find the molar mass of the compounds
<em><u>Compounds : </u></em>
X ⇒ Molar mass = M
XI2 ⇒ Molar mass = M + 2*126.9 u
XCl2 ⇒Molar mass = M + 2*35.45u
⇒For 1 mole XI2 we have 1 mole Cl2 reacting , as well as 1 mole XCl2 and 1 mole I2 produced.
<u>Step 3:</u> Calculating the atomic mass
(1.383g * XI2) / (M + 2*126.90 u) = (0.564g * XCl2) / ( M + 2 * 35.45u)
1.383 (M + 2 *35.45 u )= 0.564 (M + 2*126.90)
1.383M + 98.0547 = 0.564 M + 143.1432
1.383 M - 0.564 M =143.1432 - 98.0547
0.819 M = 45.0885
M = 55.05 u
So X has an atomic mass of 55.05 u ⇒ if we look at the periodic table we can find that the closest element is Manganese (Mn)
MnI2 + Cl2 → MnCl2 + I2
Silicon
Silicon has the chemical properties that are most similar to those of carbon.
Answer: B -Network solids
Ionic solids are held by positive and negative charged ions bonded by electrostatic forces. The electrostatic force is much stronger than dipole–dipole interactions, London dispersion forces, hydrogen bonding.
Molecular solids are held by dipole–dipole interactions, London dispersion forces, or hydrogen bonds. Benzene is an example of this. These inter-molecular force are much weaker than electrostatic force.
The metallic bonds are much weaker than electrostatic force. Similarly, in non-metallic solids the atoms are held by covalent bonds. These covalent bonds are weaker than the electrostatic force.
Thus we can conclude that electrostatic force is the strongest when compared to dipole–dipole interactions, London dispersion forces, hydrogen bonding,covalent and metallic bonds. Thus ionic solids will have the highest melting point as more energy is required to break the ionic bonds as this is the strongest bond compared to the other bonds.
Significant figures means the number of important figures, 0 not included.
This means that the answer is 1094.00
Hope this helps! :)
