Three samples of a solid substance composed of elements A and Z were prepared. The first contained 4.31 g A and 7.70 g Z. The second sample was 35.9% A and 64.1% Z. It was observed that 0.718 g A reacted with Z to form 2.00 g of the third sample. Show that these data illustrate the law of definite composition.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The percentage composition of the elements of the compound in the three samples is the same.

Explanation:

The law of definite proportions states that all pure samples of a particular chemical compound contain the same elements in the same proportion by mass.

Sample A:

Mass of A = 4.31 g; mass of Z = 7.70 g

Total mass of sample = 12.01

Percentage mass of A in the sample = (4.31 * 100)/12.01 = 35.9 %

Percentage mass of Z in the sample = (7.70 * 100)/12.01 = 64.1 %

Sample B:

Percentage mass of A in the sample = 35.9 %

Percentage mass of Z in the sample = 64.1 %

Sample C:

Mass of A = 0.718 g; Total mass of sample = 2.00 g

mass of Z = mass of sample - mass of A = 2.00 g - 0.718 g = 1.282 g

Percentage mass of A in the sample = (0.718 * 100)/2.00 = 35.9 %

Percentage mass of Z in the sample = (1.282 * 100)/2.00 = 64.1 %

From the calculations, it can be seen that the percentage composition of the elements in the compound is the same for the three samples.

Calculate the mass of silver chloride required to plate 265 mg of pure silver.

Answers

Given Mass of pure silver (Ag) = 265 mg

Silver chloride AgCl which is used in plating silver contains 75.27 % Ag

This means that:

A 100 mg of silver chloride contains 75.27 mg of silver

Therefore, the amount of silver chloride required to plate a sample containing 265 mg silver would correspond to:

265 mg Ag * 100 mg AgCl/75.27 mg Ag

= 352.1 mg AgCl

Answer:

0.35215 grams of silver chloride required to plate 265 mg of pure silver.

Explanation:

2AgCl(aq)\rightarrow 2Ag(s)+Cl_2(g)

Mass of silver = 265 mg = 0.265 g

Moles of silver = (0.265 g)/(108 g/mol)=0.002454 mol

According to reaction, 2 moles of silver are obtained from 2 moles of silver chloride.

Then 0.002454 moles of silver will be obtained from :

(2)/(2)* 0.002454 mol=0.002454 mol of silver chloride

Mass of 0.002454 moles of silver chloride:

= 0.002454 mol × 143.5 g/mol = 0.35215 g

0.35215 grams of silver chloride required to plate 265 mg of pure silver.

Are the bonds that chlorine forms with sodium (to form NaCl) and with carbon (to form CCl4) the same in both compounds?

Answers

Taking into account the definition of ionic and covalent bond, the bonds that chlorine forms with sodium (to form NaCl) and with carbon (to form CCl₄) are different in both compounds.

Ionic bond

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that occurs when one atom gives up an electron to the other, in order for both to achieve electronic stability.

This union normally occurs between metal and nonmetal elements with different electronegativity, which means that the elements have different capacity to attract electrons.

In other words, an ionic bond is produced between metallic and non-metallic atoms, where electrons are completely transferred from one atom to another. During this process, one atom loses electrons and another one gains them, forming ions. Usually, the metal gives up its electrons forming a cation to the nonmetal element, which forms an anion.

Covalent bond

The covalent bond is the chemical bond between atoms where electrons are shared, forming a molecule. Covalent bonds are established between non-metallic elements, such as hydrogen H, oxygen O and chlorine Cl. These elements have many electrons in their outermost level (valence electrons) and have a tendency to gain electrons to acquire the stability of the electronic structure of noble gas.

Bonds of NaCl and CCl₄

In the case of NaCl, Na is a metal while Cl is a nonmetal. So NaCl is an ionic bond.

On the other hand, in the case of CCl₄ both C and Cl are two non-metallic elements. So CCl₄ is a covalent bond.

In summary, the bonds that chlorine forms with sodium (to form NaCl) and with carbon (to form CCl₄) are different in both compounds.

Answer:

No, NaCl is formed by an ionic bond, and CCl4 would be formed by covalent bonds.

Explanation:

NaCl is an ionic bond because of their opposite charges while carbon and chlorine are sharing their electrons making it a covalent bond.

Be sure to answer all parts. Consider both 5-methyl-1,3-cyclopentadiene (A) and 7-methyl-1,3,5-cycloheptatriene (B). Which labeled H atom is most acidic? Hb is most acidic because its conjugate base is aromatic. Hc is most acidic because its conjugate base is antiaromatic. Ha is most acidic because its conjugate base is antiaromatic. Hd is most acidic because its conjugate base is aromatic. Which labeled H atom is least acidic? Ha is least acidic because its conjugate base is aromatic. Hb is least acidic because its conjugate base is antiaromatic. Hd is least acidic because its conjugate base is aromatic. Hc is least acidic because its conjugate base is antiaromatic.

Answers

Due to the conjugate base of the hydrogen atom is aromatic, Hb is regarded as the most acidic. Because the conjugate base of the hydrogen atom Hc is anti-aromatic, it is the least acidic.

The correct options are:

(A) - (a)

(B) - (d)

What are the most and the least acidic hydrogen atom?

The hydrogen connected at the heptatriene's tertiary position (at the 7-methyl) would be particularly acidic, as its removal would leave a positive charge that could be transported around the ring via resonance.

The hydrogen connected to the pentadiene (5-methyl) at the tertiary position would not be acidic, as removing it would result in an anti-aromatic structure.

Thus, the least acidic H atom is Hc and the most acidic H atom is Hb.

I don’t have a picture but I can describe it to you.

The hydrogen that is attached at the tertiary position on the heptatriene (at the 7-methyl) would be very acidic, as removal would leave a positive charge that could be moved throughout the ring through resonance. This would mean that the three double bonds would be participating in resonance, and the deprotonated structure would be aromatic, thus making this favorable.

The hydrogen that is attached at the tertiary position on the pentadiene (5-methyl) would NOT be acidic, as removal would cause an antiaromatic structure.

Any other hydrogens would NOT be acidic. Those vinylic to their respective double bonds would seriously destabilize the double bond if removed, and hydrogens attached to the methyl group jutting off the ring have no incentive to leave the carbon.

Hope this helps!

Its density is 2.44 g/cm³.

It is odourless compound.

It is white powder and soluble in water.

It is used in fertilizer because it provide phosphorus which is beneficial for the growth of plants.

It is also used as a additive in food.

It is inorganic compound and also used as buffering agent.

Final answer:

The correct ions present in K2HPO4 are K+, H+, and PO43-. Here, potassium (K+) ions, hydrogen (H+) ion and phosphate (PO43-) ion are released.

Explanation:

The compound K2HPO4 dissociates in water to form ions. The correct answer from your selection would be the first one.
