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

What is the percentage of water in the following compound? Answer using three significant figures. Sodium carbonate decahydrate,

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

The trick for this problem is to understand atomic mass: the fact that different atoms have different masses. What we need to do is add up all the atomic masses of the compound and work out the ratio of mass of water to the mass of sodium carbonate. Atomic masses are often given for each atom in the periodic table, but you can look them up on google too.

You can do this by adding up individual atoms for each molecule, or you can shortcut and lookup the molar mass of the compound (i.e.the task already done for you).

The molar mass of water is 18.01g/mole so for 10 moles of water we have a mass of 180.1g.

The molar mass of sodium carbonate is 106g/mole (google).

So the total mass of the sodium carbonate decahydrate compound is 180.1+106 = 286.1g, of which water would make up 180.1g, so the percentage of water is is 180.1/286.1 = 0.629, so we can round this to 63%

Select the simplest mole ratio for each substance. Glucose (C6H12O6): Sulfuric acid (H2SO4): Butene (C4H8):

Rom4ik [11]

<u>Answer:</u>

1. In Glucose: C : H : O = 1 : 2 : 1

2. In Sulfuric acid: H : S : O = 2 : 1 : 4

3. In Butene: C : H = 1 : 2

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mole ratio is defined as the ratio of amounts in moles present in a compound. Simplest mole ratio basically means that the moles are present in the least whole number ratio.

In Glucose, $(C_6H_{12}O_6)$

Moles of Carbon atom = 6

Moles of Hydrogen atom = 12

Moles of Oxygen atom = 6

Mole ratio of the atoms: C : H : O :: 6 : 12 : 6

Making this, the simplest mole ratio C : H : O = 1 : 2 : 1

In Sulfuric acid, $(H_2SO_4)$

Moles of Sulfur atom = 1

Moles of Hydrogen atom = 2

Moles of Oxygen atom = 4

Mole ratio of the atoms: H : S : O = 2 : 1 : 4

In Butene, $(C_4H_8)$

Moles of Carbon atom = 4

Moles of Hydrogen atom = 8

Mole ratio of the atoms: C : H = 1 : 2

ipn [44]

Answer:

The Michaelis‑Menten equation is given as

v₀ = Kcat X [E₀] X [S] / (Km + [S])

where,

Kcat is the experimental rate constant of the reaction; [s] is the substrate concentration and

Km is the Michaelis‑Menten constant.

Which of the following pairs lists a substance that can neutralize HNO3 and the salt that would be produced from the reaction?

Nutka1998 [239]

NH₃, being a basic gas neutralizes the HNO₃ forming a salt NH₄NO₃

Therefore the correct answer is NH₃ and NH₄NO₃

The solution of which only 32% dissociates to release OH⁻ ions is a weak base. This is because some of the energy is used when the substance reacts with the solution thus some bonds are not broken.

HCl is an acid. This is because it dissociates in water to give H⁺ as the only positively charged ions.

Arrhenius acid increases the concentration of hydrogen ions because it dissociates to release hydrogen ions as the only positively charged ions in the acid. So the answer is TRUE

Arrhenius base dissociates in water to release hydroxide ions as the only negatively charged ions.

NaOH⁺aq⇒Na⁺ ₍aq₎+ OH⁻₍aq₎

A 63.5 g sample of an unidentified metal absorbs 355 ) of heat when its temperature changes

insens350 [35]

0.208 is the specific heat capacity of the metal.

Explanation:

Given:

mass (m) = 63.5 grams 0R 0.0635 kg

Heat absorbed (q) = 355 Joules

Δ T (change in temperature) = 4.56 degrees or 273.15+4.56 = 268.59 K

cp (specific heat capacity) = ?

the formula used for heat absorbed and to calculate specific heat capacity of a substance will be calculated by using the equation:

q = mc Δ T

c = $\frac{q}{mΔ T}$

c = $\frac{355}{63.5X 268.59}$

= 0.208 J/gm K

specific heat capacity of 0.208 J/gm K

The specific heat capacity is defined as the heat required to raise the temperature of a substance which is 1 gram. The temperature is in Kelvin and energy required is in joules.
