A metal, M , of atomic mass 56 amu reacts with chlorine to form a salt that can be represented as MClx. A boiling point elevatio

n experiment is performed to determine the subscript , and therefore, the formula of the salt. A 30.2 g sample of the salt is dissolved in 100.0 g of water and the boiling point of the solution is found to be 376.81 K. Find the formula of the salt. Assume complete dissociation of the salt in solution.

Answer:

  MCl₂

Explanation:

The formula for boiling point elevation can be used to find x. The "complete dissociation" means there will be an ion of M and x ions of Cl in the solution. The number of moles of solute will be 30.2 grams divided by the molecular weight of MClx, where x is the variable we're trying to find.

  \Delta T=imK_b\qquad\text{where i=ions/mole, m=molality, $K_b\approx 0.512$}\\\\376.81-373.15=(x+1)\dfrac{\text{moles}}{\text{kg solvent}}(0.512)\\\\\dfrac{3.66}{0.512}=(x+1)\dfrac{\dfrac{30.2}{56+35.45x}}{0.1}=\dfrac{302(x+1)}{56+35.45x}\\\\\dfrac{3.66}{0.512\cdot 302}(56+35.45x)=x+1\\\\\dfrac{3.66\cdot 56}{0.512\cdot 302}-1=x\left(1-\dfrac{3.66\cdot 35.45}{0.512\cdot 302}\right)\\\\x=\dfrac{50.336}{24.877}\approx 2.023

Then the formula for the salt is MCl₂.

Hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, is common in many households and is used as a bleaching agent. It usually comes in a dark, opaque bottl
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

Hydrogen peroxide should be stored in

1) a cool environment

2) with amber bottles away from sunlight

3) with little drops of sodium phosphate

Explanation:

It has been confirmed that heat and light aids in the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide according to the equation; 2H2O2→2 H2O + O2.

This means that hydrogen peroxide must be stored in a cool place. This will reduce its rate of decomposition. Secondly, it should be stored in amber bottles away from light since light also aids in its decomposition.

Thirdly, drops of sodium phosphate may be added to prevent its catalytic decomposition during storage.

A flask contains 1/3 mole of h2 and 2/3 mol of he. Compare the force on the wall per impact of h2 relative to that for he.
densk [106]

The force on the wall is actually the pressure exerted by gas molecules

Higher the pressure more the force exerted on the walls of container

The pressure depends upon the number of molecules of a gas

In a mixture of gas the pressure depends upon the mole fraction of the gas

As given the mole fraction of He is more than that of H2 therefore He will exert more pressure on the wall

The ratio of impact will be

H2 / He = 2/3 / 1/3 = 2: 1

Oxides of nitrogen are pollutant gases which are emitted from car exhausts.
V125BC [204]
Let's look at the molar weight of the answers: 
NO is 30 g/mol 
NO2 is 46 
N2O is 44 
N2O4 is 124 

<span>We have the grams of the product, so we need the moles in order to calculate the molar weight. We us PV=nRT for this, assuming standard temperature and pressure. </span>
You were given the liters (.120L) 
Std pressure is 1 atmosphere 
You&#x27;re looking for n, the number of moles 
<span>Temp is 293.15 kelvin, thats standard </span>
And r is the gas constant in liters-atm per mol kelvin 

(.120 liters)(1atm)=n(293.15K)(.08206) 
Solving for n is .0049883835 mol 

<span>.23g divided by .0049883 mol is about 46g&#x2F;mol. You&#x27;re answer is B I think, NO2

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead!

Write equations that show the processes that describe the first, second, and third ionization energies for a gaseous gadolinium
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

Gd → Gd⁺ + 1e⁻, Gd⁺ → Gd⁺² + 1e⁻, Gd⁺² → Gd⁺³ + 1e⁻

Explanation:

The ionization energy is the energy necessary to remove one electron of the atom, transforming it in a cation. The first ionization energy is the energy necessary to remove the first electron, the second energy, to remove the second electron, and then successively.

Thus, for gadolinium (Gd)

Fisrt ionization:

Gd → Gd⁺ + 1e⁻

Second ionization:

Gd⁺ → Gd⁺² + 1e⁻

Third ionization:

Gd⁺² → Gd⁺³ + 1e⁻
