The empirical formula of a gaseous fluorocarbon is CF2. At a certain temperature and pressure, a 1-L volume holds 8.93 g of this

fluorocarbon, whereas under the same conditions, the 1-L volume holds only 1.70 g gaseous fluorine (F2). Determine the molecular formula of this compound.

Answer:

C₄F₈

Explanation:

Using their mole ratio to compute their mass

molar mass of carbon = 12.0107 g/mol

molar mass of fluorine gas = 37.99681

let x = mass of carbon

given mass of fluorine = 1.70 g

x / 12.01067 = 1.70 / 37.99687

cross multiply

x = ( 1.70 × 12) / 37.99687 = 20.4 / 37.99687 = 0.53688 g

mass of one mole of CF₂ = 0.53688 + 1.70 = 2.23688 g

number of mole of CF₂ = 8.93 g / 2.23688 = 3.992 approx 4

molecular formula of CF₂ = 4 (CF₂) = C₄F₈

A student heats a sample of Copper (II) sulfate in a crucible and records the data shown in the table. What is the complete form
liberstina [14]

Explanation:

Copper (II) sulfate is usually present as a hydrous state, which is of the form CuSO4 * nH2O, where n is a whole number.

Mass of sample (CuSO4 * nH2O)

= 152.00g - 128.10g = 23.90g.

Mass of water loss during heating

= 152.00g - 147.60g = 4.40g.

Molar mass of H2O = 18g/mol

Moles of H2O in sample

= 4.40g / (18g/mol) = 0.244mol.

Mass of anhydrous sample (CuSO4)

= 23.90g - 4.40g = 19.50g

Molar mass of CuSO4 = 159.61g/mol

Moles of CuSO4 in sample

= 19.50g / (159.61g/mol) = 0.122mol.

Since mole ratio of CuSO4 to H2O

= 0.122mol : 0.244mol = 1:2, n = 2.

Hence we have CuSO4 * 2H2O.

A voltaic cell is constructed with two silver-silver chloride electrodes, where the half-reaction is AgCl (s) + e− → Ag (s) + Cl
ANTONII [103]

Answer : The cell emf for this cell is 0.118 V

Solution :

The half-cell reaction is:

AgCl(s)+e^\rightarrow Ag(s)+Cl^-(aq)

In this case, the cathode and anode both are same. So, E^o_{cell} is equal to zero.

Now we have to calculate the cell emf.

Using Nernest equation :

E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.0592}{n}\log \frac{[Cl^{-}{diluted}]}{[Cl^{-}{concentrated}]}

where,

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 1

E_{cell} = ?

[Cl^{-}{diluted}] = 0.0222 M

[Cl^{-}{concentrated}] = 2.22 M

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

E_{cell}=0-\frac{0.0592}{1}\log \frac{0.0222M}{2.22M}

E_{cell}=0.118V

Therefore, the cell emf for this cell is 0.118 V

The Lewis representation above depicts a reaction between hydrogen (blue) and a main-group element from group 5A (red). In this
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Each Y atom needs three electrons to complete its octet by forming three bonds to hydrogen. There is one unshared pair of electrons and three bonding pairs of electrons. The bonds in the product are covalent.

Explanation:

Recall that group 5A elements contain five electrons in their outermost shell. These five electrons consists of a lone pair and three electrons that can form three bonds with hydrogen to give YH3 where Y is the group 5A element.

The YH3 molecule contains one lone(unshared) pair of electrons as well as three bonding pairs of electrons. The compounds are covalent.
