A molecular compound has the empirical formula XY2. Which of the following is a
possible molecular formula?
A.X2Y8
B.ХЗҮЗ
C.X2Y4
D.ХЗҮ9

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: C.X2Y4

Explanation:

Given that :

Compound has the empirical formula :

Empirical formula : CY2

The empirical formula expresses in Lowest term the whole ratio of the compound.

.

Empirical. Formula is usually written as :

XnYn+1

For instance, the ratio of the compound is :

n : n+1

Therefore, in the question:

XY2

Ratio :

X = 1 ; Y = 2 ; 1 /2 ;hence, the possible molecular number :

The possible moleculars are those whose XY mole ratio is 1 : 2

Comparing the ratios :

X2Y8 = 2/8 = 1 :4

ХЗҮЗ = 3/3 = 1 : 1

X2Y4 = 2 /4 = 1: 2

ХЗҮ9 = 3/9 = 1 :3

Hence, the only possible molecular formula is X2Y4

Which of the following atoms has the lowest first ionization energy: nitrogen, phosphorus, or arsenic?

Answers

Answer:

Arsenic

Explanation:

The atom that has the lowest first ionization energy is Arsenic.

The first ionization energy is the energy needed to remove the most loosely bound electron of an atom in the gas phase in the ground state.

Ionization energy generally deals with the measure of the readiness of an atom to lose an electron.

Generally, down a group from top to bottom, ionization energy decreases because of the increasing atomic radii and increasing shielding /screening effect on the outermost shell electrons hence the electrons are held less tightly to the nucleus. So, nitrogen, phosphorous and arsenic belongs to the same group and arsenic will have the least first ionization energy.




If the oxygen isotope 20O has a half-life of 15 seconds, what fraction of a sample of pure 20O remains after 1.0 minute?

Answers

Answer:

1/16

Explanation:

We have the half life of ²⁰O = 15 seconds

This half life means that the reactant 8s going to be half at this time

Now we have 60 seconds = 1 minute

Then in 60 seconds we are going to have 4 half life.

Then ²⁰O will be 1/2⁴

1/2⁴ = 1/16

This is the answer to this question.

Thank you!

1/16 fraction of a sample of pure ²⁰O remains after 1.0 minute

Given:

The half life of ²⁰O = 15 seconds

This half life means that the reactant 8s going to be half at this time

Now, we have 60 seconds = 1 minute

Then in 60 seconds we are going to have 4 half life.

Then ²⁰O will be 1/2⁴

1/2⁴ = 1/16

Thus, the fraction of a sample of pure ²⁰O remains after 1.0 minute is 1/16.

What is the theoretical yield of aluminum that can be produced by the reaction of 60.0 g of aluminum oxide with 30.0 g of carbon according to the following chemical equation? ALLO, + 3C SH 2Al + 3CO
a. 31.8 g
b. 30g
c. 101.2 g
d. 45 g
e. 7.9 g

Answers

Answer: 31.8 g

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

[tex]\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}[/tex]    

[tex]\text{Moles of} Al_2O_3=\frac{60.0g}{102g/mol}=0.59moles[/tex]

[tex]\text{Moles of} C=\frac{30.0g}{12g/mol}=2.5moles[/tex]

[tex]Al_2O_3+3C\rightarrow 2Al+3CO[/tex]  

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of [tex]Al_2O_3[/tex] require 3 moles of [tex]C[/tex]

Thus 0.59 moles of [tex]Al_2O_3[/tex] will require=[tex]\frac{3}{1}\times 0.59=1.77moles[/tex]  of [tex]C[/tex]

Thus [tex]Al_2O_3[/tex] is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and [tex]C[/tex] is the excess reagent as it is present in more amount than required.

As 1 mole of [tex]Al_2O_3[/tex] give = 2 moles of [tex]Al[/tex]

Thus 0.59 moles of [tex]Al_2O_3[/tex] give =[tex]\frac{2}{1}\times 0.59=1.18moles[/tex]  of [tex]Al[/tex]

Mass of [tex]Al=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=1.18moles\times 27g/mol=31.8g[/tex]

Thus 31.8 g of [tex]Al[/tex] will be produced from the given masses of both reactants.

Write the net ionic equation for the reaction [tex]2AgNO_3(aq)+(NH_4)_2CO_3(aq)->Ag_2CO_3(s)+2NH_4NO_3(aq)[/tex]

Answer:  [tex]2Ag^+(aq)+CO_3^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow Ag_2CO_3(s)[/tex]

Explanation:

Spectator ions are defined as the ions which does not get involved in a chemical equation or they are ions which are found on both the sides of the chemical reaction present in ionic form.

The given chemical equation is:

[tex]2AgNO_3(aq)+(NH_4)_2CO_3(aq)->Ag_2CO_3(s)+2NH_4NO_3(aq)[/tex]

The complete ionic equation is:

[tex]2Ag^+(aq)+2NO_3^-(aq)+2NH_4^+(aq)+CO_3^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow Ag_2CO_3(s)+2NH_4^+(aq)+2NO_3^-(aq)[/tex]

The ions which are present on both the sides of the equation are ammonium and nitrate ions and hence are not involved in net ionic equation.

Hence, the net ionic equation is [tex]2Ag^+(aq)+CO_3^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow Ag_2CO_3(s)[/tex]

Which of the changes are chemical changes?
sugar is dissolved in soda

Answers

Hello! I hope this helps you :)

Soda is carbonated water - it has carbon dioxide dissolved under high pressure. Carbon dioxide is a gas that would like to escape. Shaking the bottle of soda, for example, provides a suitable mechanism to allow release of the gas.

Adding sugar also provides a mechanism for this to occur through nucleation. The sugar crystals give the carbon dioxide a surface via which to escape the solution. This is not a chemical reaction per se, but a physical reaction. It is essentially the same process as the coke-mentos reaction. Sugar crystals are great for this, as they have a rough surface and therefor a very high surface area available.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]E=1.48x10^4J[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the energy implied in a heating process is computed by using the following equation:

[tex]E=mC(T_f-T_i)[/tex]

Whereas m is the mass, C the specific heat and T the temperature. In such a way, by plugging in the given mass, specific heat and temperatures, we obtain the following energy:

[tex]E=187.0g*4.703\frac{J}{g\°C} (52.9\°C-36.1\°C)\\\\E=1.48x10^4J[/tex]

Considering that the specific heat can by used by unit of °C or K because their difference is equivalent.

what's the valency of lead in pbO2​

Answers

The valence of lead is 4.

Hence the name of the compound is called Lead (IV) oxide.

Further explanation

Given

PbO₂ compound

Required

The valence of Pb

Solution

The oxidation number of element O in the compound = -2, except for OF₂ the oxidation state = + 2 and the peroxides (Na₂O₂, BaO₂) the oxidation state = -1 and superoxide, for example KO₂ = -1/2.

The oxidation state in the uncharged compound = 0,

So The oxidation state of Pb :

Pb + 2.(-2) = 0

Pb - 4 = 0

Pb = +4
