Answer: a) $BaCl_2$

b) $BiO_3H_3$

Explanation:

If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.

So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

a) Mass of Ba= 66.06 g

Mass of Cl = 34.0 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of Ba = $\frac{\text{ given mass of ba}}{\text{ molar mass of Ba}}= \frac{66.06g}{137g/mole}=0.48moles$

Moles of Cl = \frac{\text{ given mass of Cl}}{\text{ molar mass of Cl}}= \frac{34g}{35.5g/mole}=0.96moles[/tex]

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For Ba = $\frac{0.48}{0.48}=1$

For O = $\frac{0.96}{0.48}=2$

The ratio of Ba: Cl= 1:2

Hence the empirical formula is $BaCl_2$

b) Mass of Bi= 80.38 g

Mass of O= 18.46 g

Mass of H = 1.16 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of Bi = $\frac{\text{ given mass of ba}}{\text{ molar mass of Ba}}= \frac{80.38g}{209g/mole}=0.38moles$

Moles of O= $\frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{18.46g}{16g/mole}=1.15moles$

Moles of H= $\frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{1.16g}{1g/mole}=1.16moles$

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For Bi= $\frac{0.38}{0.38}=1$

For O = $\frac{1.15}{0.38}=3$

For H= $\frac{1.16}{0.38}=3$

The ratio of Bi: O: H= 1:3: 3

Hence the empirical formula is $BiO_3H_3$

Which of the following describes a scenario in which the molecular geometry would have the smallest bond angle(s)? (A) four bond

maw [93]

Answer: The correct answer is "B" two bonding domains(or bonding pairs) or two non bonding domains(or lone pairs)

Explanation:

Molecular geometry/structure is a three dimensional shape of a molecule. It is basically an arrangement of atoms in a molecule.It is determined by the central atom, its surrounding atoms and electron pairs.According to VSEPR theory, there are 5 basic shapes of a molecule: linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal and octahedral.

A)Four bonding domains and zero non bonding domains: shape is tetrahedral and bond angle is 109.5°

B)Two bonding domains and two non bonding domains(lone pairs): shape is bent and bond angle is 104.5°

C)Three bonding domains and one non bonding domain: shape is trigonal pyramidal and bond angle is 107°

D)Two bonding domain and zero non bonding domain: shape is linear and bond angle is 107°

E)Two bonding domain and one non bonding domain: bent shape and bond angle is 120°

F)Three bonding domains and zero nonbonding domain: shape is trigonal planar and bond angle is 120°

Hence Two bonding domains and two non bonding domains have the smallest bond angle.

Which equation illustrates conservation of mass?

pochemuha

Answer = c

Conservation of mass (mass is never lost or gained in chemical reactions), during chemical reaction no particles are created or destroyed, the atoms are rearranged from the reactants to the products.

Nitrogen gas can be prepared by passing gaseous ammonia over solid copper (II) oxide at high temperatures. If 18.1 g of Nh3 is r

Scilla [17]

I first converted the given grams of the reactants into moles, and then divided the moles by the coefficients in front of each of the reactant. The result with the smallest value will be the limiting reactant, and the value of CuO was the smallest, so it's the limiting reactant.

After figuring out which reactant is the limiting one, I took their given grams and converted it into moles, the divided it by the ratio of N2 to CuO (it's in the equation) to obtain the moles of N2, and then multiply it with the molar mass of N2 to get its mass in grams.

Compared to micellular Compound 1, Compound 2 is structurally more rigid as a result of what type of interaction?

zimovet [89]

Answer:

D. Intramolecular covalent bond

Explanation:

Compound D is structurally more rigid as a result of intramolecular covalent bonding. The forces that hold together atoms within a compound are greater as compared to forces holding two molecules together (intermolecular bonding). On the other hand Hydrogen bonds are weaker as compared to covalent bonds. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between two atoms and Hydrogen bonds are formed between a highly electronegative atom like oxygen, Flourine,Chlorine to hydrogen.

6. From the values of ΔH and ΔS, predict which of the following reactions would be spontaneous at 25ºC: Reaction A: ΔH = 10.5 kJ

qwelly [4]

Answer:

Both reaction A and reaction B are non spontaneous.

Explanation:

For a spontaneous reaction, change in gibbs free energy ( $\Delta G$ ) should be negative.

We know, $\Delta G=\Delta H-T\Delta S$ , where T is temperature in Kelvin scale.

Reaction A: $\Delta G=(10.5\times 10^{3})-(298\times 30)J/mol=1560J/mol$

As $\Delta G$ is positive therefore the reaction is non-spontaneous.

If at a temperature T K , the reaction is spontaneous then-

$\Delta H-T\Delta S< 0$

or, $T> \frac{\Delta H}{\Delta S}$

or, $T> \frac{10.5\times 10^{3}}{30}$

or, $T> 350$

So at a temperature greater than 350 K, the reaction is spontaneous.

Reaction B: $\Delta G=(1.8\times 10^{3})-(-113\times 298)J/mol=35474J/mol$

As $\Delta G$ is positive therefore the reaction is non-spontaneous.

If at a temperature T K , the reaction is spontaneous then-

$\Delta H-T\Delta S< 0$

or, $T> \frac{\Delta H}{\Delta S}$

or, $T> \frac{1.8\times 10^{3}}{-113}$

or, $T> -16$

So at a temperature greater than -16 K, the reaction is spontaneous.
