Answer:

0.020 moles of $Fe(OH)_{2}$ can be formed

Explanation:

1. First determine the number of moles of LiOH.

Molarity is given by the following expression:

$M=\frac{molesofsolute}{Litersofsolution}$

Solving for moles of solute:

moles of solute = M * Liters of solution

Converting 175.0mL to L:

$175.0mL*\frac{1L}{1000mL}=0.175L$

Replacing values:

moles of solute = 0.227M*0.175L

moles of solute = 0.040

Therefore there are 0.040 moles of LiOH

2. Then write the balanced chemical reaction and use the stoichiometry of the reaction to calculate the number of moles of $Fe(OH)_{2}$ produced:

$FeCl_{2}(aq)+2LiOH(aq)=Fe(OH)_{2}(s)+2LiCl(aq)$

As the problem says that there are excess of $FeCl_{2}$ , the limiting reagent is the LiOH.

$0.040molesLiOH*\frac{1molFe(OH)_{2}}{2molesLiOH}=0.020molesFe(OH)_{2}$ can be formed

erik [133]

<span>Density is a value for mass, such as kg, divided by a value for volume, such as m3. Density is a physical property of a substance that represents the mass of that substance per unit volume. We calculate as follows:

PV = nRT
PV = mRT/ Molar mass
m/V = P(molar mass)/RT
Density = P(molar mass)/RT
Density = 2.0 ( 30.97 ) / 0.08206 ( 20 + 273.15) = 2.57 g/L <----First option</span>

<u>Answer:</u> The empirical and molecular formula for the given organic compound is $CH_3O$ and $C_4H_{12}O_4$

<u>Explanation:</u>

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=9.06g$

Mass of $H_2O=5.58g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

<u>For calculating the mass of carbon:</u>

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 9.06 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 9.06=2.47g$ of carbon will be contained.

<u>For calculating the mass of hydrogen:</u>

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 5.58 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 5.58=0.62g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (6.38) - (2.47 + 0.62) = 3.29 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

<u>Step 1:</u> Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{2.47g}{12g/mole}=0.206moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.62g}{1g/mole}=0.62moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{3.29g}{16g/mole}=0.206moles$

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.206 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.206}{0.206}=1$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.62}{0.206}=3$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.206}{0.206}=1$

<u>Step 3:</u> Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

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

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_1H_{3}O_1=CH_3O$

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is:

$n=\frac{\text{molecular mass}}{\text{empirical mass}}$

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 124 amu = 124 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 31 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{124g/mol}{31g/mol}=4$

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

$C_{(1\times 4)}H_{(3\times 4)}O_{(1\times 4)}=C_4H_{12}O_4$

Thus, the empirical and molecular formula for the given organic compound is $CH_3O$ and $C_4H_{12}O_4$

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

The Molecule of Sodium Formate along with Formal Charges (in blue) and lone pair electrons (in red) is attached below.

Sodium Formate is an ionic compound made up of a positive part (Sodium Ion) and a polyatomic anion (Formate).

Nomenclature:

In ionic compounds the positive part is named first. As sodium ion is the positive part hence, it is named first followed by the negative part i.e. formate.

Name of Formate:

Formate ion has been derived from formic acid ( the simplest carboxylic acid). When carboxylic acids looses the acidic proton of -COOH, they are converted into Carboxylate ions.

E.g.

HCOOH (formic acid) → HCOO⁻ (formate) + H⁺

H₃CCOOH (acetic acid) → H₃CCOO⁻ (acetate) + H⁺

Formal Charges:

Formal charges are calculated using following formula,

F.C = [# of Valence e⁻] - [e⁻ in lone pairs + 1/2 # of bonding electrons]

For Oxygen:

F.C = [6] - [6 + 2/2]

F.C = [6] - [6 + 1]

F.C = 6 - 7

F.C = -1

For Sodium:

F.C = [1] - [0 + 0/2]

F.C = [1] - [0]

F.C = 1 - 0

F.C = +1

Ray Of Light [21]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is shown in the image attached.

Answer:

Cation

Explanation:

In a polar reaction mechanism, a specie must give out electrons and another specie must accept those electrons.

The specie that gives out electrons becomes electron deficient and positively charged so we refer to such a specie as a cation.

Hence, the specie that looses electrons becomes a cation.
