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

Calculate the percent activity of the radioactive isotope strontium-89 remaining after 5 half-lives.
maria [59]
The answer to this question would be: 3.125%

Half-life is the time needed for a radioactive molecule to decay half of its mass. In this case, the strontium-89 is already gone past 5 half lives. Then, the percentage of the mass left after 5 half-lives should be:
100%*(1/2^5)= 100%/32=3..125%

What type of orbitals overlap to provide stability to the tert-butyl carbocation by hyperconjugation
larisa86 [58]

Explanation:

The - 3 degree C( carbon atom) 2p atomic orbital + methyl C-H sigma molecular orbital because one C-H bond has to dissolve its bond and provide the H that is sigma molecular orbital and the carbonation is type 3 degree sp2 carbon.

Hyperconjugation is the stabilizing effect arising from the electrons ' engagement in a π-bond (usually C-H or C-C) with a neighboring empty or partly filled p-orbital or π-orbital to provide an expanded molecular orbital that enhances system stability.

If 8.0 g of NH4HS(s) is placed in a sealed vessel with a volume of 1.0 L and heated to 200 ∘C the reaction NH4HS(s) ⇌ NH3(g) + H
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Increasing the volume of the vessel

Explanation:

By the Le Chatelier's principle, if a system in equilibrium suffer a variation that disturbs the equilibriu, the reaction shift in the way to minimize the pertubation and re-establish the equilibrium.

For a variation in pressure, when it increases, the reaction shift for the smallest of gas volume, and if decreases, the reaction will shift for the large gas volume. So, for the reaction given, the products have the large amount of gas, so by decreasing the pressure, more products will be formed, and the amount of NH₄HS will reduce. To decrease the pressure, we can increase the volume of the vessel: for the ideal gas equation (PV= nRT), pressure and volume are indirectly proportional.

How many moles of lead (ii) chromate are in 51 grams of this substance? answer in units of mol?
maria [59]

Mass of lead (II) chromate is 51 g. The molecular formula is PbCrO_{4} and its molar mass is 323.2 g/mol

Number of moles can be calculated using the following formula:

n=\frac{m}{M}

Here, m is mass and M is molar mass.

Putting the values,

n=\frac{(51 g}{323.1937 g/mol}=0.1578 mol

Therefore, number of moles of lead (II) chromate will be 0.1578 mol.

A scientist has isolated a chemical compound that is partially soluble in water. The chemical helps keep water-soluble substance
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Based on the information, the compound is a phospholipid.

Explanation:

Phospholipids are made up of a fatty acid tail which is hydrophobic in nature and a head which comprises of phosphates that is hydrophilic in nature. Hence, phospholipids are amphiphilic compounds so they will be partially soluble in water and will allow water-soluble substances to mix with fats.

Hence, the composition of the substance described in the question confirms that is a phospholipid. As it's structure contains hydrocarbon and phosphorus and might also contain nitrogen.
