I believe the answer would be C

The the compound of interest i.e. XCl4, since there are 4 Cl atoms bonded to X. This signifies that the valency of X is 4.

There atomic number of C is 6. It's electronic configuration is giving by 1s2 2s2 2p2. Thus, there are 4 electrons in valence shell of C. This signifies that valency of C is 4. Hence the compound present in present case is CCl4.

Hope this helps :)

A chemical engineer calculated that 15.0 mol H2 was needed to react with excess N2 to prepare 10.0 mol NH3. But the actual yield

rjkz [21]

Answer:

The actual number of moles is 9 moles.

It is less than 15

Number of moles needed is 9 moles

Explanation:

15H2 + 10N2 ——-> 10NH3

Now from the question, we can see that the percentage yield is 60%

The percentage yield can be calculated as actual moles of H2/Theoretical moles of H2 * 100%

From the equation, we can see that the theoretical number of moles of hydrogen is 15.

Now to get the actual : 60 = x/15 * 100

x = 9

The actual number of moles is 9 moles.

It is less than 15

Number of moles needed is 9 moles

lora16 [44]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

a) 4.64 x 10 ¹⁵ molecules

b) 9.28 x 10 ¹⁵ atoms of O2

Explanation:

MW C7H14O2 = 84 + 14 + 32 = 130 g

a) 130 g of C7H14O2 ---------------- 1 mol of C7H14O2

1 x 10 ⁻⁶ g --------------- x

x = 7.7 x 10 ⁻⁹ mol

1 mol of C7H14O2 -------------- 6 .023 x 10 ²³ molecules

7.7 x 10⁻⁹ mol -------------- x

x = 4.64 x 10¹⁵ molecules

b) 130 g of C7H14O2 ---------------- 1 mol of C7H14O2

1 x 10⁻⁶ C7H14O2 ----------------- x

x = 7.7 x 10 ⁻⁹ mol of C7H14O2

1 mol of C7H14O2 --------------- 2 mol of O2

7.7 x 10 ⁻⁹ ---------------- x

x = 1.54 x 10⁻⁸ mol of O2

1 mol of O2 ----------------- 6.023 x 10 ²³ atoms

1.54 x 10 ⁻⁸ ---------------- x

x = 9.28 x 10 ¹⁵ atoms of O2

The reaction N2 + 3 H2 → 2 NH3 is used to produce ammonia. When 450. g of hydrogen was reacted with nitrogen, 1575 g of ammonia

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

The percent yield of this reaction is 70%

Explanation:

The reaction is: N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃

We only have the mass of H₂, so we assume that N₂ is in excess

We convert the mass to moles, to work with the reaction:

450 g . 1mol / 2 g = 225 moles

Ratio is 2:3. 3 moles of H₂ can produce 2 moles of ammonia

Therefore 225 moles of H₂ will produce (225 .2)/ 3 = 150 moles

This is the 100% yield reaction → We convert the moles of NH₃ to mass

150 mol . 17g /1mol = 2550 g

Percent yield = (Produced yield/Theoretical yield) .100

Percent yield = (1575g/2550g) . 100 = 70%

Using the solubility curve, what is the effect of increased temperature on the solubility of KBr in 100 grams of water? The solu

galina1969 [7]

The graph is needed to answer this question.

Solubility may increase or decrease with temperature depending on the properties of the solute and the solvent.

It is quite common that the solubility of the ionic compounds, like KBr, in water increases with temperature.

Use your solubility curve for the KBr and you wiil see a line that starts at a solubility a little greater than 50 grams of the salt in 100 grams of water for temperaute 0°C and increase linearly until almost 100 grams of the salt in 100 grams of water at 100°C.

So, in this case you can affirm that the solubility of KBr increases with the temperature.

Answer: the second option: the solubility increases.
