Write an equation for the formation of bf3(g) from its elements in their standard states.

1 answer:

7 0

In nature, boron is monoatomic. Therefore, its formula is B.
On the other hand, fluorine is diatomic. Therefore, its formula is F2

Now, the basic unbalanced equation is:
B + F2 .........> BF3

Now, we need to balance this equation. As you can see, we have two fluorine moles entering the reaction and 3 formed in the products.
Balancing the equation, we will reach the following balanced reaction:
2B + 3F2 .......> 2BF3

lisabon 2012 [21]

From Boyle's law the volume of a fixed mass of a gas is inversely proportional to temperature at constant absolute temperature.
Thus, Vα1/P
= V = k/P where k is a constant
P1V1=P2V2
Therefore; V2 = P1V1/P2
= ( 6.0 ×10^-5 × 775) /622
= 7.476 × 10^-5 L
Hence, the new volume of the air mass is 7.476 × 10^-5 L

Why couldn't you substitute 3m H2SO4 for concentrated HNO3 when oxidizing copper?

schepotkina [342]

This question seems to be an essay question from experiment. Different solution of oxidizing agent will have different strength. Sulfuric acid or H2SO4 is weaker oxidizing agent when compared to nitric acid (HNO3). In this case, if you subtitute the H2SO4 you wouldn't be able to get the same result for the experiment.

When a 1.00 L sample of water from the surface of the Dead Sea (which is more than 400 meters below sea level and much saltier t

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer: Molarity of $MgCl_2$ in the original sample was 1.96M

Explanation:

Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

$Molarity=\frac{\text{no of moles}}{\text{Volume in L}}$

${\text {moles of solute}=\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {molar mass}}=\frac{186g}{95g/mol}=1.96$

Now put all the given values in the formula of molarity, we get

$Molarity=\frac{1.96}{1.00L}$

$Molarity=1.96mol/L$

Thus molarity of $MgCl_2$ in the original sample was 1.96M

How many valence electrons are in chlorodifluoromethane

Elis [28]

<span>Well... first, let's recognize that the chemical formula for chlorodifluoromethane is CHClF2. Count out how many valence electrons there are. C = 4, H = 1, Cl = 7, F (X2) = 14. Total is 26. Let's put C as the central atom, and put the other elements surrounding it. Draw a pair of electrons beach each element and the central atom. Then fill the halogen elements with 3 pairs of electrons each to fill their octets. Count out how many dots you have. There should be 26, making this the correct lewis structure! Remember, hydrogen doesn't have a full octet, only a maximum of two electrons.</span>
