Answer:
Explanation:
Assume we have 100g of this substance. That means we would have 20.24g of Cl and 79.76g of Al. Now we can find how many moles of each we have:
[tex]\frac{79.76 \:g}{35.45 \: g/mol}[/tex] = 2.25 mol of chlorine
[tex]\frac{20.24 \: g}{26.98 \: g/mol}[/tex] = 0.750 mol of Al.
To form a integer ratio, do 2.25/0.75 = 2.99999 ~= 3.
So the ratio is essentially Al : Cl => 1 : 3. To the compound is possibly [tex]AlCl_3[/tex].
However, it says it has a molar mass of 266.64 g/mol, and since AlCl3 has a molar mass of 133.32, it must be [tex]Al_2Cl_6[/tex].
Actually this molecule isn't exactly AlCl3 (which is ionic). Al2Cl6 forms a banana bond where Cl acts as a hapto-2 ligand. But that's a bit advanced. All you need to know is X = Al2Cl6
The molecular formula of the compound is Al₂Cl₆
To solve the question given above, we'll begin by obtaining the empirical formula of the compound. This can be obtained as follow:
Aluminum (Al) = 20.24%
Chlorine (Cl) = 79.76%
Empirical formula =?Al = 20.24%
Cl = 79.76%
Divide by their molar mass
Al = 20.24 / 27 = 0.75
Cl = 79.76 / 35.5 = 2.25
Divide by the smallest
Al = 0.75 / 0.75 = 1
Cl = 2.25 / 0.75 = 3
Thus, the empirical formula of the compound is AlCl₃
Finally, we shall determine the the molecular formula of the compound.
Molar mass of compound = 266.64 g/mol
Empirical formula = AlCl₃
Molecular formula =? Molecular formula = [AlCl₃]ₙ = molar mass of compound[AlCl₃]ₙ = 266.64
[27 + (3×35.5)]n = 266.64
[27 + 106.5]n = 266.64
133.5n = 266.64
Divide both side by 133.5
n = 266.64 / 133.5
n = 2Molecular formula = [AlCl₃]ₙ
Molecular formula = [AlCl₃]₂
Molecular formula = Al₂Cl₆Therefore, the molecular formula of the compound is Al₂Cl₆

Classify each molecule as an alcohol, ketone, or aldehyde based on its name. Propanone (acetone) Choose... Ethanal Choose... 3-phenyl-2-propenal Choose... Butanone Choose... Ethanol Choose... 2-propanol Choose...
Answer:
1.) Propanone (ketone)
2.) Ethanal( aldehyde)
3.) 3-phenyl-2-propenal (aldehyde)
4.) Butanone (ketone)
5.) Ethanol ( alcohol)
6.) 2-propanol (alcohol)
Explanation:
In organic chemistry, ALCOHOL ( also known as alkanol) are compounds in which hydroxyl groups are linked to alkyl groups. They can be considered as being derived from the corresponding alkanes by replacing the hydrogen atoms with hydroxyl groups. The hydroxyl group is the functional group of the alcohol as it is responsible for their characteristic chemical properties. A typical example of alcohol is ethanol and 2-propanol.
Alkanals or ALDEHYDES have the general formula RCHO while alkanones or KETONES have the general formula RR'CO where R and R' may be alkyl or aryl groups. The main similarity between these two classes of compounds is the presence of the carbonyl group. In aldehydes, there is a hydrogen atom attached to the carbon In the carbonyl group while there is none on the ketones.
Some common examples of ketones are Propanone, Butanone while examples of aldehydes are Ethanal and 3-phenyl-2-propenal
What direction would equilibrium moves towards based on the following if we increased the volume of the container.
[tex]2A_{(g)} + 5B_{(g)} + 12C_{(g)}[/tex] ↔ [tex]14AC_{(g)} + 5B_{(s)}[/tex]
Answer choices:
a) reactants
b) no change
c) products
d) decrease in volume
Please help!
To answer this question, we will first find out the number of gaseous moles on each side of the equilibrium
on the left:
we have 2 moles of A, 5 moles of B and 12 moles of C
which gives us a grand total of 19 gaseous moles
on the right:
here, we have 14 moles of AC gas, we will not count the number of moles of B because it's a solid
giving us 14 gaseous moles on the right
Where does the reaction shift?
more gaseous moles means more space taken, because gas likes to fill all the space it can
if we have more volume, more gas can move around without colliding (reacting) with each other
Hence more volume favors the side with more gaseous moles
here, the left has more gaseous moles. So we can say that the reaction will shift towards the left, or the reactants side
Answer:
Explanation:
given reversible chemical reaction:
2A(g) + 5B(g) + 12C(g) ↔ 14AC(g) + 5B(s)
chemicals in solid form do not take up a lot of volume so change in container volume has no effect
look at chemicals in gas form only:
the total no. of moles of reactants in gas form = 2 + 5 + 12 = 19
the total no. of moles of products in gas form = 14
so an increase in volume of the container will favor the reaction direction with higher volume n high volume means higher no. of moles
the ans is the equilibrium will move towards a) reactants

Calculate the mass of sodium phosphate in aqueous solution to fully react with 37 g of chromium nitrate(III) an aqueous solution?(report answer in grams and only three Sigg figs do not put the unit)
Answer:
41 g
Explanation:
The equation of the reaction is;
Cr(NO3)3(aq)+Na3PO4(aq)=3NaNO3(s)+CrPO4(aq)
Number of moles of chromium nitrate = 37g/ 146.97 g/mol = 0.25 moles
1 mole of sodium phosphate reacts with 1 mole of chromium nitrate
x moles of sodium phosphate react as with 0.25 moles of chromium nitrate
x= 1 × 0.25/1
x= 0.25 moles
Mass of sodium phosphate = 0.25 moles × 163.94 g/mol
Mass of sodium phosphate = 41 g

Sometimes in lab we collect the gas formed by a chemical reaction over water . This makes it easy to isolate and measure the amount of gas produced.
Suppose the CO, gas evolved by a certain chemical reaction taking place at 50.0°C is collected over water, using an apparatus something like that in the sketch, and the final volume of gas in the collection tube is measured to be 132. mL. Calculate the mass of CO, that is in the collection tube. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
Answer:
0.17 g
Explanation:
Since the volume of gas collected is 132 mL, we need to find the number of moles of gas present in 132 mL.
So, number of moles, n = volume of gas, v/molar volume, V
n = v/V where v = 132 mL = 0.132 L and V = 22.4 L
So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
n = v/V
n = 0.132 L/22.4 L
n = 0.005893 mol
We then need to calculate the molar mass of CO, M = atomic mass of carbon + atomic mass of oxygen = 12 g/mol + 16 g/mol = 28 g/mol
Also, number of moles of gas, n = m/M where m = mass of CO and M = molar mass of CO
m = nM
m = 0.005893 mol × 28 g/mol
m = 0.165004 g
m ≅ 0.17 g to 2 significant digits
Gaseous BF3 and BCl3 are mixed in equal molar amounts. All B-F bonds have about the same bond enthalpy, as do all B-Cl bonds. Compare the numbers of microstates to explain why the mixture tends to react to form BF2Cl(g) and BCl2F(g
Solution :
[tex]$BF_3 (g) + BCl_3 (g) \rightarrow BF_2 Cl + BCl_F(g)$[/tex]
Explanation 1 :
Spontaneity of the reaction is based on two factors :
-- the tendency to acquire a state of minimum energy
-- the energy of a system to acquire a maximum randomness.
Now, since there isn't much difference in the bond enthalpies of B-F and B-Cl. So, we can say the major driving factor is tendency to acquire a state of maximum randomness.
Explanation 2 :
A system containing the [tex]\text{"chemically mixed"}[/tex] B halides has a [tex]\text{greater entropy}[/tex] than a system of [tex]$BCl_3$[/tex] and [tex]BF_3[/tex].
It has the same number of [tex]\text{gas phase molecules}[/tex], but more distinguishable kinds of [tex]\text{molecules}[/tex], hence, more microstates and higher entropy.
A sample of oxygen occupies 1.00 L. If the temperature remains constant, and the pressure on the oxygen is decreased to one third the original pressure, what is the new volume
Answer:
3.00 L
Explanation:
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
V₁ = 1.00 L
P₁ = (x) atm
P₂ = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] · (P₁) = [tex]\frac{x}{3}[/tex]
V₂ = unknown
(x atm)(1.00 L) = ( [tex]\frac{x}{3}[/tex] atm)(V₂)
divide both sides by ( [tex]\frac{x}{3}[/tex] atm)
( 1.00x )( [tex]\frac{3}{x}[/tex] ) = V₂
x cancels out
(1.00)(3) = V₂
V₂ = 3.00 L

The compound IF5 contains Question 16 options: polar covalent bonds with partial negative charges on the F atoms. ionic bonds. polar covalent bonds with partial negative charges on the I atoms. nonpolar covalent bonds.
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
The molecule IF5 possesses five I-F polar bonds. However, the presence of polar bonds does not automatically imply that the molecule will be polar.
The geometry of the molecule is very important in determining the polarity of a compound. Since IF5 has a lone pair of electrons, the molecule is bent and as such there is a permanent dipole moment created in the molecule thereby making IF5 polar in nature.
once formed, how are coordinate covalent bonds different from other covalent bonds?
Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf {One \ atom \ donates \ both \ electrons \ in \ a \ pair}}}[/tex]
Explanation:
A covalent bond involves the sharing of electrons to make the atoms more stable, and so they satisfy the Octet Rule (8 valence electrons).
Typically each atom contributes an electron to form an electron pair. This is a single bond. There are also double bonds (two pairs of electrons), triple bonds (three pairs of electrons), and coordinate covalent bonds.
Sometimes, to satisfy the Octet Rule and achieve stability, one atom contributes both of the electrons in an electron pair. This is different from other covalent bonds because usually each of the 2 atoms contributes an electron to make a pair.
Consider the reaction C4H10O + NaBr + H2SO4 → C4H9Br + NaHSO4 + H2O. If 45.0 g of C4H10O reacts with 67.1 g of NaBr and 97.0 g of H2SO4to yield 60.0 g of C4H9Br, calculate the percent yield of the reaction.
Answer:
Percent yield = 72.07 %
Explanation:
Our reaction is:
C₄H₁₀O + NaBr + H₂SO₄ → C₄H₉Br + NaHSO₄ + H₂O
It is correctly balanced.
Let's determine which is the limiting reagent:
45 g . 1 mol / 74 g = 0.608 moles of C₄H₁₀O
67.1 g . 1 mol / 102.9 g = 0.652 moles of NaBr
97 g . 1 mol / 98 g = 0.990 moles of sulfuric acid
Ratio is always 1:1, so for 1 mol of NaBr and 1 mol of sulfuric acid we need 1 mol of C₄H₁₀O. We have 0.652 moles of NaBr, we need the same amount of C₄H₁₀O and we have 0.990 moles of acid, we need the same amount of C₄H₁₀O; we only have 0.608 moles, that's why C₄H₁₀O is the limiting reactant, there's no enough C₄H₁₀O.
Ratio is also 1:1, between reactant and product.
1 mol of C₄H₁₀O produces 1 mol of C₄H₉Br
Then, 0.608 moles will produce 0.608 moles of C₄H₉Br
We convert moles to mass: 0.608 mol . 136.9 g/mol = 83.25 g
That's the 100 % yield reaction
Percent yield = (Yield produced / Theoretical yield) . 100
Percent yield = (60 g / 83.25 g) . 100 = 72.07 %
1. Most of the chemicals included in your General Chemistry Lab kit can be discarded down a drain. Describe a situation in which you would need to neutralize a chemical before discarding down a drain.
Answer: Chemicals like acids and bases are harmful and must be neutralized before draining.
Explanation:
A strong acid or strong base is required to be diluted or neutralized before it is discarded in the drain as if is discarded without diluting and neutralization it can spill and splash from sink or drain and can harm people in chemistry lab, moreover the fumes of the discarded chemical on spilling can cause respiratory tract burning and can even cause fire hazard so it must be converted into less harmful form and then must be drained.
A hypothetical A-B alloy of composition 53 wt% B-47 wt% A at some temperature is found to consist of mass fractions of 0.5 for both and phases. If the composition of the phase is 92 wt% B-8 wt% A, what is the composition of the phase
Answer:
the composition of the ∝ phase C∝ = 14 or [ 14 wt% B-86 wt% A ]
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
Co = 53 or [ 53 wt% B-47 wt% A ]
W∝ = 0.5 = Wβ
Cβ = 92 or [ 92 wt% B-8 wt% A ]
Now, lets set up the Lever rule for W∝ as follows;
W∝ = [ Cβ - Co ] / [ Cβ - C∝ ]
so we substitute our given values into the expression;
0.5 = [ 92 - 53 ] / [ 92 - C∝ ]
0.5 = 39 / [ 92 - C∝ ]
0.5[ 92 - C∝ ] = 39
46 - 0.5C∝ = 39
0.5C∝ = 46 - 39
0.5C∝ = 7
C∝ = 7 / 0.5
C∝ = 14 or [ 14 wt% B-86 wt% A ]
Therefore, the composition of the ∝ phase C∝ = 14 or [ 14 wt% B-86 wt% A ]

How can a Bose-Einstein condensate be formed? A. B super-heating a gas. B. By super-cooling certain types of solid. C. By super-cooling certain types of plasma. D. By super-heating a plasma
Answer:
C. By super-cooling certain types of plasma.
Explanation:
Bose-Einstein condensate is a state of matter whereby atoms or particles become cooled to a very low energy state leading to their condensation to give a single quantum state.
Note that plasma refers to atoms that have had some or even all of its electrons stripped away leaving only positively charged ions. Simply put, plasma is ionized matter.
When certain types of plasma are super cooled, Bose-Einstein condensate are formed.
A student prepares a aqueous solution of acetic acid . Calculate the fraction of acetic acid that is in the dissociated form in his solution. Express your answer as a percentage. You will probably find some useful data in the ALEKS Data resource.
Answer:
10.71%
Explanation:
The dissociation of acetic acid can be well expressed as follow:
CH₃COOH ⇄ CH₃COO⁻ + H⁺
Let assume that the prepared amount of the aqueous solution is 14mM since it is not given:
Then:
The I.C.E Table is expressed as follows:
CH₃COOH ⇄ CH₃COO⁻ + H⁺
Initial 0.0014 0 0
Change - x +x +x
Equilibrium (0.0014 - x) x x
Recall that:
Ka for acetic acid CH₃COOH = 1.8×10⁻⁵
∴
[tex]K_a = \dfrac{[x][x]]}{[0.0014-x]}[/tex]
[tex]1.8*10^{-5} = \dfrac{[x][x]]}{[0.0014-x]}[/tex]
[tex]1.8*10^{-5} = \dfrac{[x]^2}{[0.0014-x]}[/tex]
[tex]1.8*10^{-5}(0.0014-x) = x^2[/tex]
[tex]2.52*10^{-8} -1.8*10^{-5}x = x^2[/tex]
[tex]2.52*10^{-8} -1.8*10^{-5}x - x^2 =0[/tex]
By rearrangement:
[tex]- x^2 -1.8*10^{-5}x +2.52*10^{-8}= 0[/tex]
Multiplying through by (-) and solving the quadratic equation:
[tex]x^2 +1.8*10^{-5}x-2.52*10^{-8}= 0[/tex]
[tex](-0.00015 + x) (0.000168 + x) =0[/tex]
x = 0.00015 or x = -0.000168
We will only consider the positive value;
so x=[CH₃COO⁻] = [H⁺] = 0.00015
CH₃COOH = (0.0014 - 0.00015) = 0.00125
However, the percentage fraction of the dissociated acetic acid is:
[tex]= \dfrac{ 0.00015}{0.0014}\times 100[/tex]
= 10.71%
Write a net ionic equation for the overall reaction that occurs when aqueous solutions of carbonic acid and sodium hydroxide are combined. Assume excess base.
Answer:
[tex]H_2CO_3(aq)+2OH^-(aq)\rightarrow (CO_3)^{2-}(aq)+2H_2O(l)[/tex]
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to set up this net ionic equation, by firstly setting up the complete molecular equation as follows:
[tex]H_2CO_3(aq)+2NaOH(aq)\rightarrow Na_2CO_3(aq)+2H_2O(l)[/tex]
Thus, since carbonic acid is weak it merely ionizes whereas sodium hydroxides ionizes for the 100 % as it is strong; thus, we can write the complete ionic equation:
[tex]H_2CO_3(aq)+2Na^+(aq)+2OH^-(aq)\rightarrow 2Na^+(aq)+(CO_3)^{2-}(aq)+2H_2O(l)[/tex]
Whereas sodium ions act as the spectator ones to be cancelled out for us to obtain:
[tex]H_2CO_3(aq)+2OH^-(aq)\rightarrow (CO_3)^{2-}(aq)+2H_2O(l)[/tex]

[tex]= 0.5p_1 V_g[/tex]
when the block is floating, the weight supporting the force (buoyancy force) is:
W [tex]= 0.5p_1 V_g[/tex]
[tex]\rho Vg = 0.5p_1 V_g[/tex]
[tex]\rho = 0.5 \rho _1[/tex]
where;
water density [tex]\rho _1[/tex] = 1000
[tex]\rho = 0.5 (1000)[/tex]
[tex]\rho = 500 kg/m^3[/tex]
In the second liquid, the volume of plastic block in the water = (100-23)%
= 77% = 0.7 V
The force on the plastic block is:
[tex]= 0.77p_2 V_g[/tex]
when the block is floating, the weight supporting the force (buoyancy force) is:
[tex]W = 0.77p_2 V_g[/tex]
[tex]\rho Vg = 0.77 \rho_2 V_g \\ \\ \rho = 0.77 \rho_2 \\ \\ 500 = 0.77 \rho_2 \\ \\ \rho_2 = 500/0.77[/tex]

In this case, Hg is melting, the process is endothermic, so the energy change will have a positive sign.
we can calculate this energy by the following formula:
Q = met
where, m = mass,
e = specific heat
t = temperature
then,
Q = 78*0.14* (273-38.8)
here 0.14 = C(Hg)
= 2.557 Kj
For each of the following compounds, indicate the pH at which 50% of the compound will be in a form that possesses a charge and at which pH more than 99% of the compound will be in a form that possesses a charge.
ClCH2COOH (pKa = 2.86)
CH3CH2NH+3 (pKa = 10.7)
Express your answer using two decimal places
a. Determine a pH at which 50% of ClCH2COOH will be in a form that possesses a charge.
b. Determine a pH at which pH more than 99% of ClCH2COOH will be in a form that possesses a charge.
c. Determine a pH at which 50% of CH3CH2NH+3 will be in a form that possesses a charge.
d. Determine a pH at which pH more than 99% of CH3CH2NH+3 will be in a form that possesses a charge.
Answer:
a. 2..86 b. 4.86 c. 10.7 d. 8.7
Explanation:
a. Determine a pH at which 50% of ClCH2COOH will be in a form that possesses a charge.
Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation,
pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA]
where [A⁻] = concentration of conjugate base (or charged form) and [HA] = concentration of acid.
At 50% concentration, [A⁻] = [HA] ⇒ [A⁻]/[HA] = 1
So, pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA]
pH = pKa + log1
pH = pKa = 2.86
b. Determine a pH at which pH more than 99% of ClCH2COOH will be in a form that possesses a charge.
Let x be the concentration of the acid. Since 99% of it should possess a charge, the basic concentration is 0.99x while the acidic concentration is remaining 1 % (1 - 0.99)x = 0.01x
Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation,
pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA] where [A⁻] = concentration of conjugate base (or charged form) = 0.99x and [HA] = concentration of acid = 0.01x.
pH = pKa + log0.99x/0.01x
pH = pKa + log0.99/0.01
pH = 2.86 + log99
pH = 2.86 + 1.996
pH = 4.856
pH ≅ 4.86
c. Determine a pH at which 50% of CH3CH2NH+3 will be in a form that possesses a charge.
Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation,
pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA]
where [A⁻] = concentration of conjugate base and [HA] = concentration of acid.
At 50% concentration, [A⁻] = [HA] ⇒ [A⁻]/[HA] = 1
So, pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA]
pH = pKa + log1
pH = pKa = 10.7
d. Determine a pH at which pH more than 99% of CH3CH2NH+3 will be in a form that possesses a charge.
Let x be the concentration of the acid. Since 99% of it should possess a charge, the basic concentration is 0.01x while the acidic concentration is remaining 99 % (1 - 0.01)x = 0.99x (which possesses the charge).
Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation,
pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA] where [A⁻] = concentration of conjugate base = 0.01x and [HA] = concentration of acid = 0.99x.
pH = pKa + log0.01x/0.99x
pH = pKa + log1/99
pH = 10.7 - log99
pH = 10.7 - 1.996
pH = 8.704
pH ≅ 8.7
A system receives 425 J of heat from and delivers 425 J of work to its surroundings. What is the change in internal energy of the system (in J)?
Answer:
0 J
Explanation:
Applying,
ΔE = q+w................ Equation 1
Where ΔE = change in internal energy of the system, q = Heat of the system, w = work of the system.
Note: q is positive, while w is negative
From the question,
Given: q = 425 J, w = -425 J
Substitute these values into equation 1
ΔE = 425-425
ΔE = 0 J
Hence the change in internal energy of the system is 0 J
Calculate the molarity of a 17.5% (by mass) aqueous solution of nitric acid. Select one: a. 2.74 m b. 4.33 m c. 0.274 m d. 3.04 m e. The density of the solution is needed to solve the problem.
Answer:
Option e.
Explanation:
Molarity is the concentration that indicates moles of solute in 1 L of solution.
We have another concentration, percent by mass.
Percent by mass indicates mass of solute in 100 g of solution.
Our solute is HNO₃, our solvent is water.
17.5 g of nitric acid is the mass of solute. We can convert them to moles:
17.5 g . 1mol / 63g = 0.278 moles
We do not have volume of solution. We assume the mass is 100 g because the percent by mass but we need density to state the volume.
Density = Mass / Volume
Mass / Density = Volume
Once we have the volume, we need to be sure the units is in L, to determine molarity
M = mol /L
