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

A gas that has a volume of 28 liters, a temperature of 45C, And an unknown pressure has its volume increased to 34 liters and it
patriot [66]

Answer:

P1 = 2.5ATM

Explanation:

V1 = 28L

T1 = 45°C = (45 + 273.15)K = 318.15K

V2 = 34L

T2 = 35°C = (35 + 273.15)K = 308.15K

P1 = ?

P2 = 2ATM

applying combined gas equation,

P1V1 / T1 = P2V2 / T2

P1*V1*T2 = P2*V2*T1

Solving for P1

P1 = P2*V2*T1 / V1*T2

P1 = (2.0 * 34 * 318.15) / (28 * 308.15)

P1 = 21634.2 / 8628.2

P1 = 2.5ATM

The initial pressure was 2.5ATM

Which of the following statements concerning hydrocarbons is/are correct?
Alona [7]

Answer:

1.  Saturated hydrocarbons may be cyclic or acyclic molecules.

2.  An unsaturated hydrocarbon molecule contains at least one double bond.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, hydrocarbons are defined as the simplest organic compounds containing both carbon and hydrogen only, for that reason we can immediately discard the third statement as ethylenediamine is classified as an amine (organic chain containing NH groups).

Next, as saturated hydrocarbons only show single carbon-to-carbon bonds and carbon-to-hydrogen bonds, they may be cyclic (ring-like-shaped) or acyclic (not forming rings), so first statement is true

Finally, since we can find saturated hydrocarbons which have single carbon-to-carbon and carbon-to-hydrogen bonds only and unsaturated hydrocarbons which could have double or triple bonds between carbons and carbon-to-hydrogen bonds, the presence of at least one double bond makes the hydrocarbon unsaturated.

Therefore, first and second statements are correct.

Best regards.

What is the millimolar solubility of oxygen gas, o2, in water at 16 ∘c, if the pressure of oxygen is 1.00 atm?
Artyom0805 [142]
Partial pressure is the amount of pressure or force that is exerted by the atoms into the outer environment. it is dependent on the temperature and pressure of the present surroundings. in this case, we are asked in this problem to determine the partial pressure of oxygen at 16oC and 1 atm. We have to look into a solubility data table commonly found in handbooks and determined via experiments and correlations. According to literature, the value of the partial pressure is equal to 0.617 mM.This is under the assumption that the salinity of the water in which oxygen is dissolved is equal to zero.

You are asked to determine the mass of a piece of copper using its reported density, 8.96 g/ml, and a 150-ml graduated cylinder.
kakasveta [241]

Answer:- Mass of copper piece is 290 gram.

Solution:- We know that, mass = density * volume

density of copper is given as 8.96 gram per mL.

Volume of copper piece is the rise change in volume.

Volume of copper piece = 137 mL - 105 mL = 32 mL

Let's multiply the volume by density to calculate the mass of copper:

mass of copper = 32mL(\frac{8.96g}{mL})

mass of copper = 286.72 g

Volume has two significant figures, so if we round the mass to two significant figures then it becomes 290 g.
