Answer:

C3H6O2

Explanation:

To find the empirical formula of the compound, we divide the amount in moles of each of the elements by the amount in mole of the element with the smallest number of mole. In this question, the element with the smallest number of moles is oxygen with 1.36 mole. Hence, we divide the number of moles of each element by this.

H = 4.10/1.36 = 3

O = 1.36/1.36 = 1

C = 2.05/1.36 = 1.5

We then multiply through by 2 to yield the compound with the empirical formula C3H6O2

7.00g of Compound X with molecular formula C5H10 are burned in a constant-pressure calorimeter containing 35.00kg of water at 25
horsena [70]

Answer:

The standard heat of formation of Compound X at 25°C is -3095.75 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

Mass of compound X = 7.00 g

Moles of compound X = \frac{7.00 g}{70 g/mol}=0.100 mol

Mass of water in calorimeter ,m= 35.00 kg = 35000 g

Change in temperature of the water in calorimeter = ΔT

ΔT = 2.113°C

Specific heat capacity of water ,c= 4.186 J/g °C

Q =  m × c × ΔT

Q=35000 g\times 4.186 J/g ^oC\times 2.113^oC=309,575.6 J=309.575 kJ

Heat gained by 35 kg of water is equal to the heat released on burning of 0.100 moles of compound X.

Heat of formation of Compound X at 25°C:

\frac{-Q}{\text{moles of compound X}}=\frac{-309.575 }{0.100 mol}

= -3095.75 kJ/mol

For a pure substance, the liquid and gaseous phases can only coexist for a single value of the pressure at a given temperature.
anastassius [24]

Answer:

No, it is not.

Explanation:

Most solutions do not behave ideally. Designating two volatile  substances as A and B, we can consider the following two cases:

Case 1: If the intermolecular forces between A and B molecules are weaker than  those between A molecules and between B molecules, then there is a greater tendency  for these molecules to leave the solution than in the case of an ideal solution. Consequently,  the vapor pressure of the solution is greater than the sum of the vapor  pressures as predicted by Raoult’s law for the same concentration. This behavior gives  rise to the positive deviation.

Case 2: If A molecules attract B molecules more strongly than they do their own  kind, the vapor pressure of the solution is less than the sum of the vapor pressures as  predicted by Raoult’s law. Here we have a negative deviation.

The benzene/toluene system is an exception, since that solution behaves ideally.

A hypothetical AX type of ceramic material is known to have a density of 3.55 g/cm3 and a unit cell of cubic symmetry with a cel
postnew [5]

Explanation:

For AX type ceramic material, the number of formula per unit cells is as follows.

         \rho = \frac{n'(A_{c} + A_{A})}{V_{C}N_{A}}

or,     n' = \frac{\rho a^{3}N_{A}}{(A_{c} + A_{A})}

where,   n' = no. of formula units per cell

           A_{c} = molecular weight of cation = 90.5 g/mol

           A_{a} = molecular weight of anion = 37.3 g/mol

          V_{c} = volume of cubic cell = 3.55 g/cm^{3}

           a = edge length of unit cell = 3.9 \times 10^{-8} cm

        N_{A} = Avogadro's number = 6.023 \times 10^{23}

          \rho = density = 3.55 g/cm^{3}

Now, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

           n' = \frac{\rho a^{3}N_{A}}{(A_{c} + A_{A})}

                      = \frac{3.55 g/cm^{3} \times (3.9 \times 10^{-8})^{3} \times 6.023 \times 10^{23}}{(90.5 + 37.3)}

                     = 0.9

                    = 1 (approx)

Therefore, we can conclude that out of the given options crystal structure of cesium chloride is possible for this material.

Ksivusya [100]
<h2>Halogens.</h2>

Explanation:

All of the halogens form salts with alkali metals with the formula MX.

Halogens are the members of group 17 in the periodic table. They have seven electron in their valence shell and tend to form negative ion with minus one charge. They get there name  because of their property to form salts. Halogens are very reactive and form salts with the metals.
