Answer:

Cl₂O₇

Explanation:

For the reaction:

ClₓOₙ + H₂ → HCl + H₂O

Moles of HCl and moles of H₂O are:

HCl: 0.233g HCl ₓ (1mol / 36.46g) = 6.39x10⁻³ mol HCl

H₂O: 0.403g H₂O ₓ (1mol / 18.02g) = 2.236x10⁻² mol H₂O

As you can see, moles of HCl are equivalent to moles of Cl in the compound and moles of H₂O are equivalent to moles of O in the compound, that means:

6.39x10⁻³ mol Cl

2.236x10⁻² mol O

Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of atoms presents in a molecule. If Cl is <em>1</em>, Oxygen will be:

2.236x10⁻² mol / 6.39x10⁻³ = <em>3.5</em>

As empirical formula must be given in natural numbers, the empirical formula is:

<em>Cl₂O₇</em>

Answer:

Cl2O7

Explanation:

Molar mass of HCl= 36.5gmol-1

Molar mass of water =18gmol-1

To get the ratio of chlorine present in the original substance

0.233/36.5= 0.00638

To get ratio of oxygen present in the original compound

0.403/18= 0.0224

Then divide through by the lowest ratio

Cl- 0.00638/0.00638 O- 0.0224/0.00638

Cl- 1 O- 3.5

Multiplying through by 2 to give whole numbers

Cl-2. O-7

Hence the empirical formula of the compound is Cl2O7

In a chemical reaction, the limiting reagent is the chemical being used up while the excess reactant is the chemical left after the reaction process.

Before calculating the limiting and excess reactant, it is important to balance the equation first by stoichiometry.

C25N3H30Cl + NaOH = C25N3H30OH + NaCl

Since the reaction is already balanced, we can now identify which is the limiting and excess reagent.

First, we need to determine the number of moles of each chemical in the equation. This is crucial for determining the limiting and excess reagent.

<span>Assuming that there is the same amount  of solution X for each reactant</span>

1.0 M NaOH ( X ) = 1.0 moles NaOH

1.00 x 10-5 M C25N3H30Cl ( X ) = 1.00 x 10-5 moles C25N3H30Cl

<span>The result showed that the crystal violet has lesser amount than NaOH. Thus, the limiting reactant in this chemical reaction is crystal violet and the excess reactant is NaOH.</span>

How many moles NaOH are contained in 65.0 mL of a 2.20 M solution of NaOH in H2O?
saw5 [17]
The   number  of  moles  of  NaOh that  are    contained  in  65ml  of   2.20M  solution  NaOh  in H2o  is  calculated  using  the  below  formula


moles  =  molarity  x  volume  /1000

that  is     65 x2.20  /1000=  0.143  moles

A gas occupies a volume at 34.2 mL at a temperature of 15.0 C and a pressure of 800.0 torr. What will be the volume of this gas
Grace [21]
The answer is 34.1 mL.
Solution:
Assuming ideal behavior of gases, we can use the universal gas law equation
     P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
The terms with subscripts of one represent the given initial values while for terms with subscripts of two represent the standard states which is the final condition.
At STP, P2 is 760.0torr and T2 is 0°C or 273.15K. Substituting the values to the ideal gas expression, we can now calculate for the volume V2 of the gas at STP:
     (800.0torr * 34.2mL) / 288.15K = (760.0torr * V2) / 273.15K
     V2 = (800.0torr * 34.2mL * 273.15K) / (288.15K * 760.0torr)
     V2 = 34.1 mL
