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

An ice cube with a volume of 45.0ml and a density of 0.9000g/cm3 floats in a liquid with a density of 1.36g/ml. what volume of t
Grace [21]

Answer : The volume of the cube submerged in the liquid is, 29.8 mL

Explanation :

First we have to determine the mass of ice.

Formula used :

\text{Mass of ice}=\text{Density of ice}\times \text{Volume of ice}

Given:

Density of ice = 0.9000g/cm^3=0.9000g/mL

Volume of ice = 45.0 mL

\text{Mass of ice}=0.9000g/mL\times 45.0mL

\text{Mass of ice}=40.5g

The cube will float when 40.5 g of liquid is displaced.

Now we have to determine the volume of the cube is submerged in the liquid.

\text{Volume of ice}=\frac{\text{Mass of liquid}}{\text{Density of liquid}}

\text{Volume of ice}=\frac{40.5g}{1.36g/mL}

\text{Volume of ice}=29.8mL

Thus, the volume of the cube submerged in the liquid is, 29.8 mL

A student wants to prepare a 1.0-liter solution of a specific Molarity. The student determines that the mass of the solute needs
Mars2501 [29]
The answer is (4) Add enough solvent to 30.0 g of solute to make 1.0 L solution. The molarity is calculated using volume of the solution. When solute dissolving, the total volume will change. So the final volume of solution need to be 1.0 L.

Answer:

1. Galvanic oxidation. Example is the corrosion of aluminium wires when in contact with copper wires under wet conditions.

2. Rainwater or Damp/moist air

3. Chromium-plated steel screws or stainless steel screws or galvanized steel screws

Explanation:

1. Galvanic oxidation or corrosion occurs when two different metals with different electrode potentials are brought into contact with each other by means of an electrolyte (usually a aqueous solution), such that a redox reaction occurs leading to one metal with the more negative electrode potential (the anode) becoming oxidized, while the other less negative potential (the cathode) is reduced.

In order for galvanic corrosion to occur, three elements are required.

i. Two metals with different corrosion potentials (anode and cathode)

ii. Direct metal-to-metal electrical contact

iii. A conductive electrolyte solution (e.g. water) must connect the two metals on a regular basis.

For example oxidation (corrosion) of aluminium wires when in contact with copper wire under wet conditions.

2. The most likely electrolyte will be rainwater containing dissoved solutes (if the panel is in an exposed part of the house) or damp/moist air.

3. From the table, the most likely screw will be chromium-plated steel screws or stainless steel (made of iron and nickel) screws or galvanized steel (zinc-plated) screws.

All these possible screw components have a more negative electrode potential than copper. Thus they will serve as the anode in a galvanic oxidation with copper.

The first ionization energy, e, of a potassium atom is 0.696 aj. what is the wavelength of light, in nm, that is just sufficient
elena55 [62]
The formula to be used for this problem is as follows:

E = hc/λ, where h is the Planck's constant, c is the speed of light and λ is the wavelength. Also 1 aJ = 10⁻¹⁸ J

0.696×10⁻¹⁸ = (6.62607004×10⁻³⁴ m²·kg/s)(3×10⁸ m/s)/λ
Solving for λ,
λ = 2.656×10⁻⁷ m or <em>0.022656 nm</em>
